⚖️✨Attention all Dictum members!✨⚖️

Have you been asking yourself (or Googling) any of these questions?:
• How long does a PLT take?
• Can you start PLT before graduating?
• I've done work experience, can it count towards PLT?

Well, join us on Tuesday 29 October at 6:00pm to get your answers on Zoom!

We'll cover all the basics of PLT and answer your live questions.

Leo Cussen is running another free event that we think all law students will benefit from. It’s called Let’s Talk Launching Your Legal Career and it’s a three-part series. Session 1 and 2 are online where students will hear from a panel of experts about navigating their future after uni and exploring life as a lawyer. Session 3 is an opportunity for students to meet up with industry professionals and build connections.



This event is designed to give students key insights into the profession and help them feel confident to go from student to lawyer and to make connections.



You can register for the online sessions (1& 2) now and standby for more information about the in-person meet ups.
