GENERAL INFORMATION

FOREWORD

Dear Network,

The beginning of each academic year carries with it energy, motivation and inspiration to succeed, I hope… We have been in touch, via email, Skype or Facebook, but the true inception of our term doesn’t start until the Autumn National Council Meeting. It is here that the National Board gets to meet you and you get to meet other Local Groups across our diverse network. It provides the perfect pool for collaboration and discussion, which is why I am delighted to see so many groups registered.

The structure for this National Council Meeting has changed. Now more closely modelled on the ever-popular International Council Meetings, it promises to be unforgettable. I urge you all to take part in the discussions, challenging each other to improve both yourselves and the groups you represent. This NCM is particularly important as we will be asking Council for permission to register ELSA United Kingdom as a charity, giving us giving us precedent when approaching potential partners, professionals and even our members, so it is important you get involved!

I realise just how many pages this document contains however, I can assure you that we plan to play as hard as we work. Five members of the National Board have recently returned home from the 72nd International Council Meeting in Sarajevo which means that ELSA Spirit will be running high, with plenty of international drinks to be had, and even more punishments – so make sure you’re on time!

In all seriousness, I am looking forward to this National Council Meeting more so than any before and I am confident that we will have a great time.

Yours Sincerely,

Ethan Dodd President ELSA United Kingdom

XVII NCM Working Materials GENERAL INFORMATION THE NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING GUIDE



THE NATIONAL COUNCIL MEETING GUIDE What is a National Council Meeting? The National Council Meeting is one of two national internal meetings of ELSA United Kingdom. It brings together officers of all areas from the whole UK network. It consists of both plenary and workshop sessions. The main aims of these meeting are:

(i) to provide an opportunity for all officers to meet, get informed about the latest updates in their respective areas and to exchange ideas; and

(ii) to summon the UK Council, which discusses issues concerning the administration and the further development of the Association on a national level.

The UK Council represents the Members of ELSA United Kingdom and is the supreme decision-making body of our national network, whose decisions are binding upon the National Board, the Members and the Observers of ELSA United Kingdom. A UK Council decision can only be overturned by a subsequent UK Council decision or by a decision made by the Council at an International Council Meeting. The National Council Meeting is held on a biannual basis, once in spring and once in autumn. What is a Workshop? Workshops provide an introduction to or a review of topics of interest. They offer a space for interaction, discussion and exchange of information while the participants explore different subjects and develop their soft skills. In each NCM, there are seven Workshops; one for each area of activity; BEE, IM, FM, MKT, AA, S&C, STEP. MCC is absorbed into the AA Workshops. Each Workshop is conducted by the respective National Board member(s).

7




The following Workshops will be held during the NCM: Board Management, External Relations and Expansion (BEE): conducted by the President of the National Board and attended by Local Presidents and other BEE officers of the network. Internal Management (IM): conducted by the Secretary General of the National Board and attended by Local Secretaries General and other IM officers of the network. Financial Management (FM): conducted by the Vice President for Marketing of the National Board and attended by Local Vice Presidents for Marketing and other Marketing officers of the network. Academic Activities (AA): conducted by the Vice President for Academic Activities and the Vice President for Moot Court Competitions of the National Board and attended by Local Vice Presidents for Academic Activities, National Vice Presidents for Moot Court Competitions and other AA and MCC officers of the network. Seminars & Conferences (S&C): conducted by the Vice President for Seminars & Conferences of the National Board and attended by National Vice Presidents for Seminars & Conferences and other S&C officers of the network. Student Trainee Exchange Programme (STEP): conducted by the Vice President for Student Trainee Exchange Programme of the National Board and attended by the Local Vice Presidents for Student Trainee Exchange Programme and other STEP officers of the network. What is a Joint Workshop? A Joint Workshop sets on the table a topic that is worth being discussed by the officers of more than one area. Who is a Council Meeting Officer? There are at least four Workshop Officers supporting Council proceedings during each NCM: the Chair, the Vice Chair, and two to four Secretaries. The Council Meeting Officers ensure that some of the most important tasks regarding the plenary sessions

8




of an ICM are carried out properly. The role of the Chair of the Plenry is to ensure that the Council Meeting agenda is respected and adhered to, to supervise and assist the other Council Meeting Officers, to invite people to address the Council, to decide when to put proposals to a vote, to supervise the election procedure, to bring the meeting to rder and to resolve any question concerning the Council Meeting Proceedings. The role of the Vice Chair is to tassist the Chair and stand in for him or her in the event of his or her absence. The role of each Secretary is to keep the minutes of the plenary sessions. The Secretaries are responsible to the Secretary General of the National Board and should always refer to them in case of difficulty. Workshops are also recommended to have a Secretary take minutes.

Finger Rules for Workshops The “finger rules” are intended to make the job of the National Board member easier and to ensure that the discussions are as effective and smooth as possible. The theory behind the finger rules is simple; you indicate what you want to state by using one of the following gestures: One finger: New idea/topic Two fingers: Reply/comment Three fingers: End the discussion – the current debate is not useful Pinkie finger: Technical remark (e.g. “open the window”) Scissors gesture Remove/cut from the speakers’ list. Thumb up/down: Show immediate feedback to a statement to say, “I like

this idea” or “I don’t like this idea”.

Draft Agenda Saturday 18th November 2017 (General Morning Workshops) 10:30 – 11:30 Coaching Groups Workshop Description:

During this workshop, the Local Groups will get to meet their respective coaches. The aim of this workshop is for officers to get to know each other, to get to know their National Board ‘buddy’ and discuss various topics such as; why we joined, what we’re looking to get out of ELSA, what our goals are for this year, etc. This will be an opportunity for the Local Groups to question their coaches and share any concerns they may have. Preparation:

Please find out who your National Board coach is if you do not already know. It may be a good idea to get in touch before the NCM and think about some of the things you would like to bring up with them. 11:30 – 11:45 Opening Workshop

Description:

During this workshop, the agenda is presented and approved. The aim of this workshop is for officers to get know each other, to prepare for the upcoming week and to elect the workshop secretary. It will serve as an ice-breaker between participants. Additionally, there will be a discussion on what participants hope to get from the workshops. Preparation:

Prepare to have an input at the National Council Meeting. Read the agenda carefully and think about workshop rules that could be adopted, especially the ‘finger rules’. Think about why we have these meetings and how we can make the most of them. What does this NCM mean to you? What do you intend to get out of it?

27




11:45 – 12:15 New Emailing System Description:

This workshop will provide Local Groups with their new email addresses. It will be an opportunity for the workshop to get to grip with the system and talk through why this implantation is necessary. Technical questions can also be directed toward the workshop National Board Member. Preparation:

Please bring a laptop or other smart device to the workshop so that you may follow the workshop walkthrough of the new system. Be prepared to receive login details. 12:15 – 12:30 Registering as a Charity Description:

This workshop will serve to explain the goal of setting up ELSA United Kingdom as a charity. Proposal No 4 will be discussed as well. This workshop is an opportunity for concerns to be brought forward before it is voted on later in the day during the Statutory Amendments section of the Plenary agenda. Preparation:

Read the statute and understand its consequences. Discuss this with your Board beforehand to try and get a sense of the general opinion going around. Be prepared to state your opinion!

28




Saturday 18th November (Afternoon Area-Specific Workshops) 13:30 – 14:00 Selling ELSA Description:

Our jobs as Presidents mean we are usually the ones responsible for selling ELSA; whether that be to our Law Schools, potential partners or even our members. This workshop is designed to evaluate how we do that, look at some of the ways we could do that better and hopefully have some fun while doing it. Preparation:

None required; sometimes you need to sell ELSA on the spot, it is how we do that, that determines how good we are at pitching ELSA! 14:00 – 14:30 Proposals Description:

This workshop will discuss Proposals 1 and 4. Any issues that arise will be discussed and the proposals will then be voted on. These will either provide a positive recommendation to Council or a negative recommendation. They are quite large and will have some considerable impact on the network! Preparation:

Please ensure you have read the proposed changes and you understand them, be prepared to speak. Contact me at [email protected] if you don’t! 14:30 – 15:00 Admin, Admin, Admin… - Joint BEE and IM Description:

This workshop will be an opportunity for the Presidents and Secretaries General to come together and evaluate how and when they work with each other, and what could be done to strengthen the most important bond in the Board. Preparation:

Bring your Secretary General along.

29

XVII NCM Working Materials PROPOSALS THE NATIONAL BOARD



PROPOSALS

THE NATIONAL BOARD No 1: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning the host bid procedure under Hosting an NCM The National Board proposes the following to Council:

National Council 10.3 Hosting an NCM

10.3.1 A local group (observers or members) who wish to host the subsequent NCM must apply 28 days before the nearest NCM.

10.3.2 At the NCM, the local group’s proposal to host shall be put to the Council and voted on by simple majority.

10.3.1 Dates

The National Council Meeting shall begin on a Friday and end on the Sunday. The National Board, in cooperation with the elected host, is responsible for choosing the specific dates and for organising the National Council Meeting.

10.3.2 Host Eligibility

The election of a National Council Meeting host shall be taken by means of an simple majority of votes of the Member Local ELSA Groups represented and able to vote. 10.3.3.3 If there is no host elected by the National Council two National Council Meetings prior to the respective National Council Meeting, the National Board shall issue a call for hosts via the mailing lists. After examining the applications received, the National Board shall appoint a host.

10.3.4 Call

The National Board is responsible for announcing the call for the upcoming National Council Meeting hosts. The is call shall be made 60 days before the opening of the National Council Meeting where the elections will take place.

Within six weeks after the official last day of the National Council Meeting, the respective host shall present a report listing all the income and expenses of the meeting to the National Board and, upon their request, to the Members and Observers of ELSA UK.

61




Comments: The current NCM host bid structure allows for an NCM host to be picked at the NCM before they are due to host. This new provision will ensure that each NCM host knows two NCMs in advance, giving them more time to prepare. It also provides more clarity as to the procedure and what happens in the case of no NCM host bids.

62




No 2: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning attendance of National Council Meetings The National Board proposes the following to Council:

National Council 10.7 Attendance of National Council Meetings 10.7.7 For the purposes of 10.3.1, if all Local Groups cannot agree on a date for a National Council Meeting, the date will be chosen in accordance with the majority. 10.7.8 Any Local Group in the minority will not be subject to a sanction. Comments: These provisions contradict the rest of the provisions under section 10.7 and should therefore be removed.

63




No 3: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning voting by proxy at National Council Meetings The National Board proposes the following to Council:

National Council 10.10.1 A proxy has to be correctly signed by two board members of the Local Group giving the proxy vote, clearly stating the date of signature and the accepting Local Group as well as the National Council Meeting for which the proxy is valid. The document to be used is annexed to the Statutes and Standing Orders of ELSA UK. Working Materials of each National Council Meeting. Comments: The Proxy Document is not currently annexed to the Statutes and Standing Orders. It would also be pointless to attach them as they are not relevant at all times. Attaching them to the newly styled Working Materials would help keep things clean and relevant in the future, as such the National Board feel it appropriate to change this provision.

64




No 4: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning Special Resolutions The National Board proposes the following to Council:

Special Resolutions §13 Special Resolutions 13.2 Council gives the National Board interim power to produce new Statutes & Standing Orders and a National Council Meeting Decision Book until which point ELSA UK becomes a legally registered charity. Comments: In order to register as a charity, the Statutes and Standing Orders will have to be altered significantly. Additionally, a National Council Meeting Decision Book will have to be written. It would be administratively impossible to have Council vote on every change/new provision in the documents. This provision would give the National Board discretion to write the Statutes and Standing Orders, and Decision Book, ensuring that they are legally binding in the process. This provision becomes obsolete when ELSA United Kingdom achieves legal status at which point the power to make changes returns to Council.

65




No 5: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning the Budgets and Accounts The National Board proposes the following to Council:

Budgets and Accounts §14 Budgets and Accounts

14.1.1 The annual fee for an Observer group is £100

14.1.2 The annual fee for a Member group is £150

Comments:

The Observer and Member fees are not currently in the statute. Adding them will help groups understand their obligations and may help them with their Student’s Unions when it comes to getting payments through.

66




No 6: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning the order of the National Board positions in various areas

The National Board is proposing the following to Council:

Various Areas Correcting any list of the National Board positions to ensure that it follows the common order of; - President - Secretary General - Treasurer - Vice President for Academic Activities - Vice President for Seminars & Conferences - Vice President for Student Trainee Programme - Vice President for Moot Court Competitions Comments: This is a change primarily made to ensure that the Statutes and Standing Orders remain consistent. It also correlates to the position National Board members sit in at National Council Meetings and the order found in documents like the Activity Reports and One Year Operational Plans.

67




No 7: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning the numbering of certain provisions found within The National Board is proposing the following to Council:

Various Areas Correcting the numbering of certain provisions which are currently incorrect, namely those found in sections; - 2.3.2 - 4.1 - 4.2 - 4.3 - 7 - 10 Comments: This is done to ensure that all numbering is correct and cohesive. This provision will also correct any references to other provisions that are numerically incorrect.

68




No 8: Statutes and Standing Orders amendment concerning the Organs of ELSA UK The National Board is proposing the following to Council:

Organs of ELSA UK §9 The Organs of ELSA UK

9.1 The organs of the National Board of ELSA UK and the National Council.

9.1 The organs of the ELSA UK are:

(i) The National Council (ii) The National Board

Comments: The current provision doesn’t make sense and doesn’t state the organs. The new provision simply provides clarity and corrects the status quo.

71




Wing Yan Ng | Secretary General

PROJECTS Contact Details • ELSA UK has always had an issue with gaining contact details from local groups,

hence there has been a lot of miscommunication. This year I asked the local groups to make unified emails for their national board, although we may be adopting a new system that ELSA International offers, this is already proving to work more effectively than it did last year. I created a word document that consists of each local group and their respective local officers and split them into the following positions in an ELSA board so that the other National Board members can contact their local group officers with ease.

One Year Operational Plan • This is completed, regrettably later than it was supposed to be submitted, but as

soon as I was made aware to do this, I immediately began working on it, however I struggled to attain another National Member’s contribution until much after the deadline. This is now submitted to ELSA International.

State of the Network Enquiry • I ensured that this was completed on time so that the ELSA UK delegation to ICM

Sarajevo was successfully completed. Although the process was strenuous and took a lot longer than expected, it was nevertheless completed with every national board member’s contribution. I have saved a sample file for my successor so in the future they will have some form of template or idea when they need to fill this in before the ICM.

72




Call for Directors • The call for directors was sent out last month and the response has been mediocre

however, this will be further promoted and there has already been increased interest in certain directorships, however this has been successful and will continue to be promoted.

IM Training and Coaching • There has been contact to local groups and local Secretary Generals regarding

coaching. Firstly, I have contacted the local groups that I am coaching for, some failed to respond however there is certainty that they have received this, therefore I am on standby if they require my help and assistance. In regard to internal management training, I am yet to create an IMers group on Facebook, but there is a plan to do this and I have already touched based with all of my secretary generals on the local level. Some local officers have already got in touch with myself for statute interpretation or help therefore this system is also working very well in the IM sector.

ELSA Alumni • This a new project that my predecessor Nikki had begun; however, this was

continued this year and decided to revamp this system. There was a lot of interest in previous ELSA UK boards, therefore there is a sufficient small database to begin with. We are yet to fully confirm as to the rights, benefits and opportunities that distinguishes between an ordinary member (whether through local groups or as an individual member) and alumni member.

Individual Memberships • Individual memberships are again a new initiative this year. I am yet to determine

the exact extent of the memberships but there is high interest for this and this will be continued and further promoted when it is possible to potential members. The contacts have already been added to our membership database as well as their emails so that the national board are able to contact the local groups and individual members with ease.

73




Local Group Handouts • I am already beginning to reconstruct and recreate the local group handout so that

this can be used as a visual and electronic aid for existing and new local groups. I have looked at the old local group handout however I felt that the graphics, design and content needed to be updated, therefore this is still an ongoing project.

Preparation for my Successor – in aid for transition next year • Although this is seemingly early in my term of office, but I have begun to take note

and recorded all the challenges and tasks that needs to be completed during the one year in office. I received a good transition last year from my predecessor but as the role of the Secretary General is very comprehensive and having some form of guideline or book will incredibly benefit my successor as I was, for an extensive period of time, felt very confused and unsure as to what I should do or where I would find certain materials to do certain tasks.

74




Kieran Brehany | Treasurer

GENERAL Community Bank Account • The process of creating a Community Bank Account. This account will have

advantages as it will mean it can pass from treasurer to treasurer each year when transition takes place with ease and it is also protected because it will be in the name of ELSA UK. So far, the account has been accepted by the bank, it just takes quite a while for the account to be formally set up.

Invoicing • I have sent out invoices for the ELSA UK Local Group membership. I have done this

quite early as I wanted all local groups to have paid before the NCM this year. In order to make the process more efficient, local groups are paying into a bank account this year rather than going through PayPal, so there will be no unnecessary charges and this also eliminates the potential issue of Student Union’s complaining about payment methods which has happened in the past.

Processing Payments • I have processed payments that I have received from local groups and created

receipts for record. In order to highlight the transparency of the process, bank statements will be made available at all times and all receipts and documents will be passed onto the incumbent treasurer next year.

EDF Payment • I have paid ELSA UK’s EDF contribution payment. I ensured that it was paid

promptly in order to show ELSA UK meeting all our obligations.

75




NCM • Help set up payment for the ELSA UK NCM. This included making a bank account

available so payment could be received and processed securely and that suppliers and venues can be paid promptly.

Communication • Talk to a local group SU to sort out a late payments of last year’s membership fee.

This has so far been a successful communication and the process has started for this payment to be made now. Furthermore, I have answered any questions and queries from Local Group treasurers regarding payment and issues and ideas for the year ahead.

76




Michael Kest | Vice President for Marketing

WEBSITE • We are in the early stages of completely overhauling our website, ie. In the process

of selecting a web designer. To be added are: • A ‘forum’ feature on which local groups will be able to post questions directly to

the national board. • A historical national board page listing all board members starting from the

2016/2017 year to the present board. • A newsletter tab where we will include all publications of our bi-annual newsletter.

OTHER • The marketers’ Facebook page has been updated with this year’s new local group

79




Benedetta Veneruso | Vice President for Seminars & Conferences

GENERAL Development of the S&C Area • Creating of a Facebook group where all the S&Cers can share their plans for the

year • Collection of feedback on the activities of the previous year • Skype meetings with S&Cers all over the country • Appointment of a Director for Law Schools and a Director for Study Visits • Coaching ELSA Nottingham and ELSA Leicester through the coaching system • Creation of internet pools with all the activities covered under S&C, in order to

identify which activities are of main interest for local groups in the UK • Helped a member of a local group who was accepted for a delegation to get in

contact with the IB and assisted her during her preparation • Helped a member of a local group who participated in a Summer Law School in

another country cope with a bad experience, contacting the President of their NB and the head of OC asking for clarification and a letter of apologies, reassuring our local member about the professionalism of ELSA SLC and reliability of their organisers

• Advertised conferences hosted by ELSA groups outside the UK to increase awareness of opportunities abroad

• Assisting local groups in finding potential partners for study visits ELSA Day • Successful advertisement of ELSA Day throughout ELSA UK and directly to local

groups through Facebook and emails. • Suggested local groups to organise a “Pub Talk” instead of a university lecture, as

an analysis of last year’s feedback and underlined the low number of attendants, possibly due to the fact that UK students are used to attending lectures and seminars on a daily basis in their academic life. Therefore, a new format like a Pub Talk, which is increasingly getting popular in the UK’s universities, might help fill this gap.

80




• Planning an online workshop on “What do we mean for Justice Beyond Borders?”

in order to clarify the topic of this year’s ELSA Day. Winter/Summer Law Schools • Checking with the IB with the deadlines for application for summer law schools and

Scotland.

81




Meeri Toivanen | Vice President for Student Trainee Exchange Programme

GENERAL Team Building • VP STEPs from nine out of 15 Local Groups have been responsive and

communicative with regard to their agendas for this upcoming year, and have shared their concrete plans for the first STEP Cycle’s employer hunt. I have arranged meetings with all of them over Skype or in person, and I have maintained active contact with them to ensure accountability and clarity in case any questions arise. For this purpose I created a Facebook group for all Local VP STEPs where updates and useful links are shared.

• The remaining VP STEPs with whom contact has not been established have either not yet been appointed by their Local Groups or the Local Group has generally had issues with timely communication with the National Board.

Employment Hunt • The Local VP STEPs have demonstrated good plans for this Cycle’s employer hunt;

a consensus has been established that the focus is not on big law firms. The Local VP STEPs have assumed the main responsibility for contacting these potential employers, after I have screened their action plans and draft emails. These potential employers include inter alia legal clinics, law faculties, PhD researchers, small/medium law firms, organisations and research centres.

• Contacts of few potential employers in the UK have been passed from outside sources including ELSA International, and communication has been established with the former.

• I have also passed a potential employer, Caselex, forward to ELSA Belgium’s VP STEP.

• Efforts are big to ensure some remuneration for the STEP trainees by these potential employers. With this regard, Local Groups have been encouraged to seek if they have any possibilities of arranging free accommodation of some kind for the trainees for the duration of their respective STEP placements.

82




Student Hunt • Local Groups have been encouraged to start thinking about how to make STEP

visible within their respective areas. Some Local Groups have already held STEP information evenings and made good effort in catching the law students’ attention.

Reception of Trainees • There have been so far four trainees in London. Although I did not personally meet

the first trainee, I made sure to actively keep in contact with him. With the remaining three I have both stayed in touch actively and met up in person casually. In the future, Local Groups and other ELSA actives need to step up with the reception of the STEP trainees more in the respective areas.

EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION • One coaching session over Skype happened earlier in the autumn with my

respective STEP coach, Essi Salmela. We agreed to have another coaching session after the employer hunt is over, and in the meanwhile I have relied on her help with some procedural issues related to STEP.

• The VP STEP of ELSA International, Aneta Korcova, has been kept updated about the situation with the current STEP trainees in the UK, the progress made with both the employer and student hunting, and with all the relevant documentation resulting therefrom.
