Career Pathways
Not everyone who studies law knows that they want to be a lawyer, or what area of law they want to work in. The possibilities are really endless.
Career Pathways seminars are to help students work these questions out.
Law Graduates who have used their degree in interesting and sometimes unusual ways are invited to speak at Career Pathways seminars.
The seminar series aims to alert students to the many possibilities available to law graduates as well as to demystify the pathways into different careers.
Career Pathway seminars that were presented in 2009 include:
- Demystifying the pathways into International Organisations (Associate Professor Cally Jordan)
- Against the death penalty? Consider a Reprieve internship (Ben Kiely, Paul Lamb, Matthew Goldberg)
- What is life as an academic really like? (Professor Jenny Morgan, Andrew Robertson & Matthew Harding)
- Life as a Government Lawyer (Stephen Jones, ACMA, Vanessa Twigg, Office of Policy Integrity, David Quinn, ASIC & Ruth Andrew, Department of Justice)
