ELSA (European Law Students’ Association) is an international, non-political and non-profit organisation run by, and for students, and recent graduates, who are interested in achieving academic and personal excellence in addition to their legal or law-related studies at university. ELSA is made up of over 50,000 students represented through 375 law faculties throughout Europe. ELSA Malta, founded in 1986, forms part of the European Law Students’ Association and is recognised as a voluntary organisation. ELSA Malta’s main objective is the representation of all law students at the University of Malta.

Why should you be a part of ELSA Malta?

Being part of a European network, ELSA Malta provides law students with the incredible opportunity to expand their legal education and to develop long term and fruitful relationships with other European law students. ELSA Malta also offers an array of academic and social events locally to help the students integrate, forge friendships and make their university experience much more memorable.

The academic events offered to law students by ELSA Malta include moot court competitions, international institutional visits, informative seminars and countless other events. Moot court competitions are especially important in order to familiarise yourself with moot courts from your 1st year of studies. These sessions allow participants to take part in simulated court proceedings, which enable them to develop a better understanding of the fundamentals of litigation and participating in a verbal argument. One of the annual moot courts organised by ELSA Malta is ‘Crime 101’. This Moot court allows students to develop their analytical skills, whilst also delving into the basis of what makes a potential court case in the criminal field.

We will also be guiding you through the law course with a variety of informative sessions and seminars. ELSA Malta hosts a number of ‘How to Sessions’ which are there to help law students in dealing with particular topics and aspects of the law course. This is especially beneficial towards first years; as they will gain some helpful tips and tricks on how to successfully navigate the law course, for example how to conduct research and write assignments. ELSA Malta also offers ‘Project Jurisprudence’ for sale; with ‘Project Jurisprudence I’ dealing with the topic of Criminal Law. This is an excellent guide to help you in studying Criminal Law during your first year of studies.

Apart from our academic events, ELSA Malta is also known for organising some of the best social events on campus. ELSA Malta’s social events include Booze Cruise, Inception: The Law Live-in, and FRAT; a 6 hour frat themed open bar. ELSA Malta also organises ‘ELSA Goes To’; which is one of our biggest international events of the year. This year we are heading to Amsterdam for 4 jam packed days. This trip is the perfect way to develop friendships with fellow law students which will last for years to come.
