DEAN OF UTS LAW Welcome to the UTS LSS Careers Guide 2022. It is my pleasure to write an introduction to this guide. I regularly receive very positive feedback from law firms, judges, NGOs and alumni about the quality of UTS Law graduates. Articulate, work ready, industry focused and good team players are just some of the positive attributes listed. The feedback confirms what we know to be true of the UTS Law degree – that it is high quality legal education, intellectually rigorous with an emphasis upon skills.

The value of your legal qualification is both tangible and intangible. Indeed the value of the UTS Law degree is as both a legal qualification and a legal education. A legal qualification offers you the possibility of a career in the law or a related field. This is the most tangible outcome of your legal studies. Yet, the ‘intangible’ benefits that your legal education will yield is equally significant. A legal education provides life-long skills that will be immensely beneficial throughout your professional and personal life. So, it is with pleasure I invite you to read this guide from cover to cover. It is full of opportunity and ideas as to how you may apply both your legal qualification and your legal education. It offers many traditional and non-traditional career pathways for you to explore, addressing the wide range of professional possibilities open to you through your study of law at UTS Faculty of Law. My congratulations to the UTS LSS for once again putting together such an important and interesting Guide.

You may choose not to practice law – or you may begin to practice and move onto something different. The skills of UTS Law graduates are transferable and valuable across many professions, industries and diverse careers trajectories. So, please take the time to consider the options in this guide and
