Careers Seminar
Alternate Careers Seminar
On the 27 April 2010 the Women Lawyers' Association of SA Inc. (WLA) hosted its annual 'Alternate Career In Law' seminar at Adelaide University.
The seminar which was aimed at final year law students and focused on the question: 'Where to after law school?' showcased a range of alternate careers available to law graduates.
Approximately 40 students heard from successful women who have graduated from law school and forged diverse career paths. Each of the panel members talked to students about their own careers and provided attendees with a range of hints and tips to succeed in their own chosen field.
A big thank you to our panel members and all those that attended.
