We investigate the identities which hold in the associated Lie rings of groups of prime exponent. The multilinear identities which hold in these Lie rings are known, and it is conjectured that all the identities which hold in these Lie rings are consequences of multilinear ones. This is known to be the case for the associated Lie rings of two generator groups of exponent 5, and we provide some additional avidence for the conjecture by confirming that it also holds true for the associated Lie rings of three generator groups of exponent five.
