2025 LAW CAREERS FAIR

Meet your future employers!

You are invited to attend Adelaide’s largest careers fair dedicated entirely to connecting South Australian law students with the legal profession.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn about the legal industry and the organisations within it, and gain an understanding of available career pathways through clerkship programs, placements and undergraduate roles directly from top local and interstate firms.

CAREERS AND CLERKSHIPS GUIDE LAUNCH

The Careers Portfolio will also launch its annual Careers and Clerkships Guide at the fair, so come along to collect your copy.

CLAYTON UTZ RESEARCHING LIKE A LAWYER SEMINAR

Legal research is a fundamental skill for early career lawyers. Join the team from Clayton Utz to see how experienced legal professionals use research skills in their daily role, and learn tips and tricks to become an effective researcher.

Join the Social Justice & Equity Portfolio for their annual sizzle for justice! Enjoy a snag whilst raising much needed funds for JusticeNet SA, a not-for-profit legal service giving vulnerable people access to the justice they deserve.

Your excuse to attend has been overruled!

Join O’Week’s Biggest Party!

In 1896, two medical students decided to organise an end of exams party for all students of the University of Adelaide. Unable to decide on a name for the party, the two stumbled across the name ‘Skullduggery’ in a dictionary, meaning trickery and shenanigans.

This year, Skullduggery will truly live up to its name as ‘O’Week’s Biggest Party’, with a MASSIVE lineup. Gear yourself up to dance the night away at the first tri-society event of 2025 - we can’t wait to see you on the dance floor.

First year law students are invited to the 2025 Bachelor of Laws Orientation Lecture and AULSS Meet and Greet. Learn more about your university program, then enjoy some light refreshments in the law building whilst meeting key academic staff, AULSS Committee members and your fellow first year students.
