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...

BBQs

Throughout the year if you see a large crowd and hear some kickass music pumping from the University Square lawns, then you’ll know the LSS is hosting a BBQ. Free food (sausages, meat and vege burgers), free drinks (beer, pre-mixed spirits and soft drinks), good music and your hanging with your fellow law students on a sunny afternoon
