The unique purpose of CLSS is to help its members pursue a legal career overseas, specifically in the Asia-Pacific region outside the mainstream of domestic law. This differentiates CLSS from the primary law society at the University of Sydney, SULS.
This year, we plan to host talks, workshops and events with multinational law firms with the aim of providing a diverse range of opportunities for our members.
