The up coming Speakers Forum Event for the Hon Jason Clare MP to be held on the 27th of July has been rescheduled due to Jason Clare's involvement in the upcoming Federal Election. The future date has not been set yet. Sorry for any Inconvenience
caused.
"Speakers' Forum presents Marque Law Firm's Managing Partner Michael Bradley: 'Can you be a lawyer and liked?' When: Tue 4th May 1-2pm
Where: Law Building G23"
Will working in a corporate law firm really give you a heart attack?
Elizabeth Gascoigne will talk about her book Legally Blind, and life in the legal profession.
Graduating
with a Bachelors of Arts and Laws from the University of Sydney, and
working in commercial law for over 15 years, Gascoigne is well
experienced when it comes to law degrees and corporate law jobs.
Whether
you're unsure about what you want to do with your law degree or whether
you're thoroughly enthusiastic to go straight and land a job with one
of the big 6 law firms, Gascoigne's talk will provide excellent insight
for you to know just what the legal profession is really about.
