Colloquium
The Colloquium is Ireland’s leading student conference and welcomes applications from undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as recent graduates in practice. Each year, we have the pleasure of hosting students from across Ireland and around the globe to present their research.
Organised annually for and by the students of the School of Law, the Colloquium provides a platform for leading and emerging legal scholars from Trinity and beyond to present their research on contemporary legal issues from a variety of spheres and invites the wider student body at Trinity and our partner institutions to join these scholars in exploring these themes further. The Colloquium is committed to encouraging dialogue amongst the wider legal community and through this engagement, imagining the possibilities of the law in building a better legal ecosystem together.
The 17th Colloquium will be taking place on February 11th 2025 followed by the Brian Lenihan Memorial Lecture on February 12th 2025.
