The UTS LSS Careers Blog provides supplementary information to our annual publications to provide careers related resources for all law students.
Launched in 2023, the Careers Blog was founded with the intention to provide a platform for students to share their Career insights and promote student engagement within the LSS. The topics discussed in the Careers Blog range from networking, volunteering, wellbeing and the realities of studying law as a first-generation law student.
For additional information, feel free to read our annual Clerkship and Career Guides!
We would like to formally thank the Careers (Publications) Subcommittee for their contributions to the Blog.
