By now, you’re probably wondering: what is the Law Careers Fair all about?

Well, Law Careers Fair basically is, as its name suggests, a one-week siesta where law firms come to the Law Faculty to promote their respective firms. For one whole week, groups of lawyers will bandy together to out-wit, out-pitch and out-sell their law firms to you. Yes, you, the ordinary law school student.

There will be buffets, talks, seminars, freebies, discounts, lucky draws and attractive prizes – all just so that the law firms can get to tell law students more about themselves, what they do and what they are looking for in potential lawyers. Just for this year, the Law Careers Fair committee is working to even have a Hot-Air balloon placed near the quadrangle outside the canteen. Ever wondered if Harry Elias Partnership will suit you better than Allen & Gledhill? Or ever entertained the possibility of being a criminal lawyer who seeks to advocate justice and fight crime in Singapore instead of just being pigeon-holed into doing corporate conveyance?

For the entirety of this one week, your senses will be assailed by the myriad of possibilities that are open to you upon your graduation from law school.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the Law Careers Fair committee working round-the-clock to ensure that the Law Careers Fair turns out a success and meets the expectations of not just the various firms partaking in the event but also of all members of the Faculty.

So what are you waiting for?
