Private Law Careers
The Private Law Careers Portfolio serves to support students throughout their degree who are interested in pursuing a career in private law.
Events
The portfolio liaises with our various sponsors to organise skills workshops, networking opportunities and other major events throughout the year. These events aim to place prospective students in the best position to secure a clerkship or career in private law more broadly.
Stay tuned here and on our UNSW LawSoc Facebook page for event announcements.
Private Law x Public Interest Careers Fair
TBC | 11:30am - 2:00pm @ Leighton Hall / Tyree Room (John Niland Scientia Building)
The Careers Fair is UNSW Law Society's flagship event for students looking to connect with leading PLC and PIC Sponsors. This event provides students with the opportunity to discover and explore a variety of programs available, including pre-penultimate, virtual programs, clerkships, and graduate programs. By speaking directly with recent clerks, lawyers, and HR representatives, students can gain valuable insight into the legal profession and the unique opportunities each firm offers.
The Careers Fair is an invaluable opportunity to foster connections between students and firms, particularly for upcoming clerkship applications. This event is designed to offer both insight and practical experience, enabling students to confidently navigate their path toward a successful legal career.
Clerkship Cocktail Evening
TBC
The annual Clerkship Cocktail Evening is a fantastic networking opportunity for penultimate students to meet firm representatives and talk about their career options and the upcoming clerkship process over some drinks.
This event typically reaches capacity so register quickly to ensure you reserve your spot. Any registrations after capacity is reached will be put onto a waitlist. Penultimate students will be prioritised.
