The Cambridge University Law Society (CULS) is run by students at Cambridge University for those interested in law either as an academic discipline or as a potential career. It provides a forum for the debate of current legal issues, inviting speakers from all over the globe to speak on their areas of expertise. Past speakers have included Lord Justice Lawrence Collins, Lord Faulkner LC, Linda Dobbs QC, Cherie Booth QC and Rosalyn Higgins QC.

The society also publishes a termly magazine, "Per Incuriam" which covers a number of popular Tripos topics and includes editorial and letters sections. It organises regular mooting competitions for its members, including 'Fledglings' (open to Freshers), The De Smith Competition (open to all Cambridge students), the Brick Court Team Competition, and at least two Essex Court Speed Moots (for competitors of all abilities). The Society enters a number of teams into national and international competitions to represent Cambridge.
