Every year the Holdsworth Club, the student society for Law students at Birmingham, invites a prominent judge or lawyer to be the Holdsworth President for that year. The main duty is to deliver the Holdsworth Presidential Address, a lecture on a topic of their choice. The Address has been delivered every year since 1928 and the list of past Holdsworth Club Presidents reads like a Who's Who of the most prominent lawyers of the past 80 years. 

Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, gave the 2013 Presidential Address earlier this year on the topic of "Compensation Culture: Fact or Fiction?"
