Competitions

So, why did you decide to do law? Was it because you enjoy reading long winded dissenting judgements of Justice Kirby just before bed-time, or was it because you enjoy putting your problem solving and oral presentation skills to the test. I can tell you from experience that law school will give you ample opportunities to read legal arguments, however the Monash LSS Competitions Portfolio is here to give you a chance to practice these vital problem solving and oral presentation skills.

REASONS TO GET INVOLVED
· Meet fellow law students
· Liaise with eminent legal professionals
· Get insight into different aspects of a legal career
· Feel what it is like to be grilled by a judge
· Begin to build a profile in the legal community
· HAVE FUN AT LAW SCHOOL – it isn’t all about the books!


2012 Competitions will run in the early parts of both first and second semester. The competitions will be held mostly on Monday and Wednesday nights. Please read through the brief outlines of each competition below and put the key dates into your diary.

The 2012 Competitions Portfolio is committed to generating well organised and fun competitions designed to enhance your legal education. So, get a team together, dig out a suit and tie and sign up for competitions in 2012. I can guarantee you will not regret it!
