18-22 May Law Week
Law week provides an opportunity to place a spotlight on issues affecting access to justice in the community.
There are more lawyers trained each year than the total number of practising lawyers in Australia. That does not mean that you should not study law. It is a great degree for gaining an understanding of justice, connection and government. Law Pathways to Many Careers
A law degree is a brilliant way to develop research, analytical, and critical thinking skills. Any job that requires you to think is a perfect place for a law graduate.
