In 2017, Zain won the Great Law Debate Competition, hosted by the ESU, BLD Foundation and BPP University at Dartmouth House, and was awarded a full scholarship to study law and the bar training course. In late 2021, he attended a piano concert at Dartmouth House which stirred his memories of debating and spurred him on to get involved with the ESU’s London branch, whose speech and debate committee he joined. Before long, he took to the floor and spoke at our cryptocurrencies debate – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of his involvement with the ESU. To mark the launch of our alumni network, we caught up with Zain, whose story is indicative of the great things that a connection with the ESU can bring.
