MULS continues to provide a vast range of career engagement opportunities for MULS members. Led by Anshika Sharma, the Career Engagement Department has worked tirelessly to host twelve events in Semester 1, all within one month! This team has effectively managed to balance the needs of both students and firms, by holding a mix of online and in person events.

This year the Careers Department worked to grow our Buddy Program, by introducing a new launch event. This event featured four Macquarie Law Students who in 2020 successfully secured a clerkship and were able to provide our members with invaluable insights and advice. The success of this event and initiative saw over 50 buddies partnered up with mentors to help guide them through the Clerkship process.

Clerkship Fair and Interview Roulette

“The careers team has facilitated and organised many events between prominent corporate firms and students in order to give participants an opportunity to understand what it would be like to work in the sector.

Moreover, the MULS Career Engagement portfolio worked tirelessly to hold our 2021 Clerkship Fair and Interview Roulette in a COVID-safe way. We are proud to have hosted 11 firms on-campus and be able to provide Macquarie Law Students with the invaluable experience of speaking with firm representatives and Alumni about the firm they work at. Thank you also to Cult Eatery, Matthew Herro and Macquarie University for helping us run this incredibly successful event.

We are looking forward to a number of alternative law careers initiatives in Session 2, including a Judge’s Associate Panel and Criminal Law Careers Panel.
