We are proud to introduce the inaugural UTS LSS Beyond Corporate Careers Fair for 2022. This networking initiative connects students with industry representatives from areas beyond corporate law such as environmental law, technology and intellectual property law, criminal law, academia, government law and much more. The UTS Law student cohort is diverse, and we recognise that there are many ways to use a law degree in a multitude of stimulating and rewarding careers outside of corporate law. Join us at our Beyond Corporate Careers Fair in Spring Semester to hear from industry representatives, forge connections, and gain insights that are formative in crafting your career.

Applications to take part in the UTS LSS Brennan Program Spring Discussion Groups 2022 are NOW OPEN!

The Brennan Program was founded to facilitate students’ passion to critically engage with law and justice. Discussion Groups embody this purpose, bringing peers together to discuss a plethora of topics, such as climate change and environmental reform laws, to Australia’s immigration and asylum seeker policies. There’s no better way to stay up to date with current legal and social justice issues and stay in touch with law friends!

Discussion Groups will meet 5 times throughout the semester in groups to discuss different social justice issues, and will accrue 20 ROJ points for submitting 5 x 200 word reflections on their discussions. Groups may decide at the beginning of the semester whether they wish to meet online or in person!

If you are a second year student or above who is looking to get involved with the Brennan Program, you can apply to be a Discussion Group Leader. Alternatively, if you are a first year student who participated in discussion groups in Autumn, you can also apply to be a leader. Leaders will receive 2 LTS hours per week and 25 ROJ points for a 1000 word reflection. 

Spring session times include: 

• Monday 1-2pm
• Monday 6-7pm
• Wednesday 5-6pm
• Thursday 3-4pm
