Message from the Presidents

Sophie Berton

The UNSW Law Society prides itself on providing our members with not only the best information, but also various opportunities to adequately equip them with the right knowledge to achieve their career goals. As such, we are incredibly excited to bring to you the 2020 Public Interest Careers Guide.

It is important that UNSW Law students are exposed and informed to the vast array of career opportunities that are available. We recognise that it is only by being thoroughly informed that students can pick the career path that best suits their interests and strengths. Accordingly, this guide contains a diverse selection of possible opportunities for students who may be curious as to what a career in the public interest sector may entail.

Through reading this guide, students can find out more about career opportunities available in government, not-for-profit organisations, and a multitude of other agencies. By browsing through the profiles of these various bodies, we hope students can find out more about what it is like to work in each respective area, the benefits of doing so and relevant application dates. Whatever your passion, you have the full support of the UNSW Law Society!

As a final note, we would like to thank the Public Interest Careers team for creating this guide, with special mention to our Vice-President (Public Interest Careers), Vien Siu, and Public Interest Careers Publications Directors, Amy Warren and Von Bacani.

We hope you find this guide useful and wish you all the best in your careers!

Sophie Berton & Justin Song
