DIRECTOR'S ADDRESS

DIRECTOR'SADDRESS

And then it was October! It feels too soon, and it’s hard to believe so much time has passed since edition one of Et Cetera. Since the last issue, the world has changed again. And with it, so has the legal industry. It can be hard to feel grounded in an ever-changing legal landscape. This edition of Et Cetera aims to help you feel a little more certain about all that comes next, especially as everything keeps changing.

Thanks must first be given to The College of Law, who have generously supported this edition of Et Cetera. Their article on alternative careers in the law provides a valuable resource for everyone, and helps give some clarity to what life after a law degree might look like. Reading this before going into the rest of the edition will give valuable context to the rest of the articles, which go more into depth about specific practice areas.

The Deakin Law Students Society Executive have also generously provided an insight into what being on the Committee, and specifically, on the Executive, has given them. With applications opening soon to join the committee, it’s definitely the right time to consider the advantages of joining, and how you can get involved!

Finally, I would be remise to not draw attention to the incredible communications officers for 2022. Maggie, Megan and Selena have worked incredibly hard to source content for this issue, and put together this stellar publication, in addition to all their other hard work this year. They’ve been an asset to communications and it is off the back of their hard work that we are able to present edition 2 of Et Cetera to you. I’ve enjoyed working with them immensely and am so proud of everything the 2022 Communications portfolio has achieved.

So, for the final time this year, Communications thanks you for supporting our work by reading. And if you ’d like to be involved in 2023, keep an eye out for officer applications in the coming weeks!

Zoe Ellis 2022 Director of Communications
