Lifestyle: Law Debate.

Some of you may know that I currently study Law and Politics; and am looking to study Criminology (which relates to these two subjects also) at University. Therefore, I have been going to events to put on my UCAS form - and yesterday I went to a Law debate on Magna Carta with my two friends Emma and Leanne; and I thought I'd do a quick post to tell you about it!

We started the event by driving to the very fancy Rougemont Hotel in Exeter city centre (and getting a subway for dinner) where the event was held. We headed inside and were in awe of how posh it was! Then, we were lead to the room where the event was held. Once there, there was a drinks reception with canapés while everyone got acquainted and had their photos taken before the debate and talk.

After the reception, the lecture began with two professors of law and medieval history from Exeter University and Bristol University; as well as the Vice Mayor of Exeter and the president of the freedom association. They each did a talk on what they thought of Magna Carta and it's relevance today, followed by a question and answer debate which we got to ask about it's relevance to our own personal areas of interest which was my favourite part.

Overall the evening was a brilliant experience and I would thoroughly recommend going to any of the events ran by the Freedom Association as they are an overall fantastic learning experience!
