COMPETITIONS BENCHBOOK
The Competitions Benchbook provides students an insight into everything they need to know before taking on QUTLS’ competition and external legal competitions. The Benchbook contains vital information on each competition, including: a crash-course on how each operates; instructions on how to prepare; examples of previous problems; previous student submissions; and, of course, how to sign up. The Benchbook also incorporates anecdotes, commentary and insights from experienced competitors and professionals who will speak to the benefits that arise from participating in competitions.
THE GAVEL
On this, 20th January Torts Illustrated 2 has been born again as Torts Illustrated 2.5. The QUTLS is proud to announce its release and hopes you enjoy all the beautiful bonus content that has been included in this late, or rather early edition of our bi-annual publication. Begin Again is an edition all about perspectives. Be it the year that was, personal growth and self-actualisation or the frontier of a brighter tomorrow, beginning again is something we all must do at some point. Thank you to our sponsors, QUT PLT, Herbert Smith Freehills and King & Wood Mallesons, as well as to our fellow QUT Law students for their wonderful and insightful submissions.
SPRINGBOARD CAREERS GUIDE
The Springboard Careers Guide is designed to support students as they explore and plan their legal careers. Whether you’re just starting to think about what comes next or beginning to apply for clerkships and graduate roles, this guide aims to make the process feel more manageable.
The Guide covers a range of topics including CVs, interviews, volunteering opportunities, alternative career pathways and insights from leading law firms. We hope it helps students feel more informed and confident as they take their next steps.
QUTLS FIRST YEAR GUIDE
This year, our main message is Make Every Shot Count. Starting law school can feel overwhelming, but it also comes with so many new opportunities. The QUTLS First Year Survival Guide is designed to help students feel more connected and supported as they begin their degree.
The Guide covers many aspects of starting university and law school, introduces the opportunities and support available through QUTLS and QUT and is there to help students make the most of their university experience. We hope that everyone finds parts of it helpful as they start law school.
