scoop on how to thrive in all aspects of the clerkship. Alyssya and her team has also provided a holistic perspective on clerkships, focussing not only on the practical tips on how to gain a clerkship, but how to prioritise your mental and physical health while going through the application and interview process.

A clerkship provides students with an invaluable opportunity to kickstart a career in commercial law, and get a taste of what work in a big rm might look like. I would recommend to everyone who is interested in a career in law to put themselves out there, and take the jump in applying for clerkships. You never know what opportunities are around the corner!

I would also like to emphasise the utmost importance of looking after your mental health and wellbeing during the application process for clerkships. We have included a comprehensive wellbeing section within this guide to give you advice on how to look after yourselves during the clerkship process. Please remember to take advantage of the fantastic UTS support services available to students for their mental, physical and academic wellbeing.

Finally, I would like to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors for their support of this Clerkship Guide, as well as all of our other fantastic LSS events and initiatives. The support of our sponsors makes resources like these possible for our wonderful members.

I wish everyone the best of luck in applying for clerkships!
