The aim of the CSLS 2016 Careers Guide is to offer students an insight into the many career opportunities which await students during and at the completion of a law degree.

The Society hopes you enjoy reading the
articles we have sourced from various practitioners, academics, industry professionals, and students,
and that the sneak-peek provided may
help you decide where you want your career to progress to. While the Guide includes many articles from many areas of the law, it is not an exhaustive list, and one of the benefits of a law degree is that the skills you learn open up many doors and pathways into future careers.

If there is one thing I have taken away from compiling the Guide and undertaking a law degree myself, it is that your opportunities are endless. Work hard, challenge yourself and don't be afraid to try a new experience which might
force you out of your comfort zone-you never know where it will lead.

I would like to thank every person who contributed to the Careers Guide, the hard work and effort that has gone into producing this publication is greatly appreciated. Special thanks goes to our generous sponsors and the Careers Portfolio, Hamish Robertson and Ray Muyunda.
