Mental Health Referral Sheet

<!--StartFragment-->

At the ‘Success without Stress’ event, students were given a Referral Sheet, which provides details about the University Counselling Service, the Psychology Department clinic and other mental health organisations such as Beyond Blue and the Tristan Jepson Foundation. You can find copies of the Referral Sheet on the racks outside the LSS office on Level 2, or you can find a copy here.

Success without Stress

Law school often seems like an insurmountable pile of assignments, reading, applications, and extracurricular activities. So it’s important to look after your mental health or it can impact your life in a way that even watching too many episodes of Sarah Palin’s Alaska will not.

Seasonal Clerkship Guide

The 2010 Seasonal Clerkship Guide is now available online here. It's an optimised online edition so switch on "bookmarks" and use the hyperlinks.

It will be available in hardcopy on level 2 from Wednesday 26th May, so come up and grab your free copy.

Seasonal Clerkship Seminars & Mock Interviews

In conjunction with the release of the Seasonal Clerkship Guide, 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. They 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. The topics are...
