The JD can feel like a journey in and of itself, but it does not stop at graduation for those wanting to practice law! You may have heard about Practical Legal Training (PLT), which is the final step required in order to be admitted to legal practice in Australia. Whether you're toward the end of your degree, or wanting to figure out just what PLT entails, come along to our joint lunchtime information session. You will hear from The College of Law and Leo Cussen, two PLT providers in Melbourne, who will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the course and what is required to complete it. The event link will be distributed to the MULSS Careers Page before the time of the event:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1371039362940393/

The WNN has historically been a non-traditional networking event focused on facilitating genuine, casual conversation through common connection. In order to retain this less-formal approach, we have decided to run the event somewhat differently than other virtual Networking events you may have participated in this year!! The event will open with a keynote speaker (TBC), after which attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. Following this, attendees will be randomly allocated between breakout rooms, with firm representatives and other organisational representatives spread evenly across each. The topics for the evening are; - Overcoming imposter syndrome- How to actively support diversity in your workplace and challenge existing structures- Creating a sustainable career and mental wellbeing- Working internationally and with international issues- How to bring your passion to work or find balance…
