Insights: Legal Careers in the Public Interest Sector
Are you passionate about justice, human rights, and making a difference through the law? Join us for an insightful panel discussion featuring leading figures in Australia’s public interest legal sector. This event offers law students a unique opportunity to hear directly from professionals who have dedicated their careers to serving the public good and advancing human rights.
In collaboration with the Melbourne Law School Human Rights Community, we are honoured to hear from Justice Claire Harris of the Supreme Court of Victoria and Julian McMahon AC SC.
Together, they will share their personal journeys, discuss the challenges and rewards of working in public interest law, and offer practical advice on building a meaningful legal career outside the corporate/commercial pathways.
Whether you're curious about advocacy, non-profit legal work, or government service, this panel will provide invaluable insights into how you might choose to use your law education to drive positive change.
