Middle Temple Students' Association

Thank you to all those who attended the MTSA 2021 elections on Tuesday evening! We heard some amazing speeches both live and recorded, for the 7 student-elected roles that make up the MTSA committee. You are now able to watch the video recording of these speeches and decide who you would like to represent your student body for the next academic year.

Voting is now open from today until Friday at 9am, with the new committee being announced on Friday afternoon. Please note that only Middle Temple students are able to vote and that you will need to enter your inn membership number to vote.

Good luck to all of those who are running for the roles and we look forward to being able to announce our new student committee soon.
