4. Monash Law School Ambassador – Law Beyond Practice Night
Date: Wednesday 1 September, 2010
Time: 6:30 pm – 9 pm
Venue: Monash Law Chambers,
472 Bourke St, Melbourne, Australia
The Monash Law School Ambassadors Program 2010 presents the inaugural Law Beyond Practice Night.
Law degrees are naturally oriented towards the practice of commercial law. Each year, however, more and more Monash law graduates choose non-commercial law pathways. This event aims to highlight this growing trend by connecting ambitious current law students to persons who have chosen less traditional law-related career paths, to discuss – in an informal setting – other career options and professions available to them that are personally and professionally fulfilling.
Take the opportunity to talk to leaders representing a broad range of fields such as not-for-profit organisations, environment conservation groups, accounting firms, government departments etc.
Food and drinks: Fully catered
Dress: Business attire
Tickets: $10
Places strictly limited to 70 students. Tickets will be available for purchase in the law basement from:
Monday August 23, Tuesday August 24 and Thursday August 26, 2010 at 12 pm – 2 pm.
Any interested JD students should e-mail:
mcmol2@student.monash,edu
To organise alternative purchase of tickets for the night.
