South East Asian Law Society - SEALS

Hey SEALS fam! We're excited to officially launch the SEALS Buddy Mentoring Programme 2026 - designed to connect the newer cohort with mentors who come from similar backgrounds. Namely, those who've been in your shoes and come out on top of it all. If you’d like some guidance navigating Sydney Law, if you’re searching for community, or if you’d just like some good food and vibes, come along for the ride!

📅 15 April 2026 (Wednesday)
🕕 6:00pm – 8:00pm
📍 Law Foyer

Here's what's in store:
✨ Meet your assigned buddy
🎤 Honest mentor panel on uni life, internships & everything in between
🎲 A fun icebreaker game (trust us)
📸 Free professional headshots
🍽️ Free food

This is your space to ask the questions you've been too afraid to Google, meet people who genuinely want to see you thrive, and have a great night while you're at it.

💛 Haven't signed up as a mentee yet? There's still time - sign up through the link in our bio. Don't miss out on having a buddy in your corner this year.

You’ve probably heard of PLT.

But do you actually know what it is… or when you’re meant to do it?

Join us for PLT Power Hour, on Thursday 30 April, 6:00pm AEST, as the College of Law will walk you through it in our upcoming webinar, covering what it involves, how it works, and how to fit it into your plans after law school.

The SEALS Buddy Mentoring Program is back, and we want YOU to be a part of it.

Think less formal mentoring, more a buddy who happens to be a few years ahead of you in their studies 👯 - someone who has navigated the same challenges, conquered the same exams, and come out the other side with the insights to prove it.

Through this program, you'll gain:

Personalised guidance from someone who has been in your exact position
Practical career insights form our amazing and experienced mentors - from building your CV to navigating clerkship applications and beyond
Meaningful connections within the SEALS community that will last well beyond your law school journey.

To further equip our attendees for their future careers, we will be offering headshot photography services throughout the event! Attendees may acquire a visually striking and professional profile picture to be uploaded to their LinkedIn profile!

We are also excited to announce a launch event on the evening of 15 April 2026 — mark it in your calendars!

Applications close 8 April 2026 at 11:59pm.

Ever wondered what makes a firm say, “Yep. That’s the one.”?

It’s not just what’s on your transcript.

We’ll cover:

• The skills firms value most
• How AI and legal tech are shaping expectations
• Practical ideas you can act on now
• What to focus on next
