Law Careers Fair

Attend our Law Careers Fair and meet potential employers

Each year we bring employers to the University for our Law Careers Fair. Speak to law firms about potential career options, clerkships and graduate recruitment opportunities.

Thursday 18 March
5:30 - 7:30 pm
Great Hall

Registrations open February 2025

The Law Careers Fair responds to your feedback for greater connections to employers in the fields of Law and Legal Practice. Providing you with an invaluable opportunity to speak with potential future employers, this fair is a great chance to find out about career opportunities and seek career advice from a wide variety of law firms and legal services.

Students from The University of Sydney Law School are encouraged to attend this Fair.

Connect with a variety of organisations in the fields of law and legal practice to discuss careers and key skills required.

A great resource to read before the fair is The Law Society of NSW website. NSW Graduate Employment and Summer Clerkship Programs offered by law firms are coordinated by the Law Society of NSW.  

The graduate employment and summer clerkship programs page provides a general overview about the programs available, and also lists participating law firms and important application dates.
