Seasonal Clerkship Seminars
Thank you to the firm representatives and students who attended the Seminars this year. We hope you got a lot out of them.
In 2010, a series of seminars will be conducted featuring presentations by law firm representatives as to what they are looking for when they rummage through hundreds of applications. It will provide you with useful tips about the skills needed to maximise your chances of a successful application as well as insight into each firm’s focus areas and culture. We will also hold mock interviews between students and firm representatives to allow for constructive feedback and a feel for the type of questions asked in a real interview.
These seminars are free and open to all law students and will be conducted during lunchtimes. We encourage anyone considering taking a seasonal clerkship to attend.
The seminars will be taking place in 2010 between May 4 and 13 each day at 1pm.
