Law Careers Fair

27-29 October

If you're interested in a career in Law, don't miss the Law Careers Fair taking place virtually this year on Careers Fair Plus and on our Blackboard Organisation, Careers 247. 

It’s a great opportunity to meet employers, network, and learn more about the career options available to you. Helpful and suitable for all students interested in Law as a career path, not just Law students and finalists!

You can browse the Career Fair Plus app to find out more about the employers participating, their webinars and to book 1:1 Employer Chats (details will start becoming available 4 weeks before).
