Juridisk Selskab

What Juridisk Selskab does

Juridisk Selskab (JUS) is a non-profit student association founded in 1977 at Aarhus University's Faculty of Law, serving approximately 1,000 law students across bachelor, master's, HA(jur.), and cand.merc.(jur.) cohorts. The association runs a dual programming model combining social events (semester-start parties, Monte Carlo, bachelor's parties, Friday bars, and Kapsejlads) with professional events (company visits to leading Danish law firms, the annual Juridisk Jobmesse with 20+ employers, brush-up courses, and the Københavnertur). It also publishes the five-page Paragraf Blad contribution to the law faculty magazine and operates international study trips and ski trips.

The underlying technology is minimal: a Wix-hosted website (juridisk-selskab.dk) handles event listings, membership sign-up, and ticketing, with Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube used as marketing channels. There is no proprietary software, no application, and no API; the association is event- and community-driven rather than platform-driven. The Kromann Reumert Exceed program — which includes an AI-in-law module — is a partner-delivered curriculum, not an internal capability.

Monetization is a hybrid of one-time membership fees billed at study start (300 DKK first-year, 200 DKK second-year, 100 DKK third-year and master's), individual event ticket sales (30-150 DKK), and law-firm sponsorship funded through the Fondsansvarlig role. The 13-15 member board is elected annually at the February general assembly, with two kandidatmedlem (alumni advisory) seats. JUS is a member of Nordiska Sekretariatet, a network of 10 Nordic legal student associations, and hosts the annual Nordic Week in week 6. The organization is member-controlled, has no parent company, and receives no outside investment.
