Upcoming Events
JATL volunteers will be stationed in the law library from 10am to 2pm every day from Mon 28th April to Fri 2nd May. We will be collecting book donations for the Prisoners’ Legal Service to distribute to prison libraries around Queensland. The books can be new or secondhand, and educational, fiction and non-fiction books are all welcome.
Prison libraries empower people to make choices in an environment where most choices are taken away. They provide a connection with the outside world and can have a transformative effect on people in prison by providing education and tools for rehabilitation.
On Wed 7th May, JATL will be running our annual Beyond Eagle Street Drinks event, sponsored by the College of Law.
This event is a fantastic way to get career advice about a wider variety of legal pathways, outside of the top-tier firms which legal career events traditionally focus on. Students will get to network with a wide range of legal professionals. Beyond Eagle Street Drinks also launches the Beyond Eagle Street Guide, which compiles information about alternative career pathways and volunteering opportunities that students can explore.
Tickets are $20 for members and $30 for non-members, so we highly recommend grabbing a membership before registering!
