Careers Episode 1: Starting a Legal Career at USYD

Footnotes (by the Sydney University Law Society)

With clerkship season well and truly underway, this episode is the first of three in our careers miniseries, intended to help our fellow students with all things careers.

To kick things off, Nick sits down with the SULS Vice President (Careers), Thrishank Chintamaneni, to discuss the ins and outs of beginning your professional legal career during university. This episode discusses general careers information, ranging from law school advice to clerkship applications, for whether you are a seasoned penultimate student, or a fresh-faced first year just entering the professional scene.

This episode was produced in collaboration with SURG.
