Law Career Convention 2011
Looking for your dream job in the legal arena? Want to find out more about top legal firms in Malaysia? Don't worry, the annual Law Career Convention (LCC) is coming to town, just for you!
This time around, University of Malaya is collaborating with United Kingdom Malaysian Law Students' Union (KPUM) to organise this highly-anticipated event. With the objective of linking the 'present' and the 'future' generations of our Malaysian Legal System in mind, we hope that the LCC will provide a golden opportunity for Malaysian law students to gather information about their career prospects in the local legal scene and to secure employment.
This year, we have managed to secure the presence of various prestigious firms, such as Raja, Darryl & Loh, Shook Lin & Bok, Shearn Delamore & Co, Skrine, Thomas Philip, Zaid Ibrahim & Co just to name a few.
Interested participants are invited to forward your Curriculum Vitae (CV) to cv.lcc2011@gmail.com. Please specify in the 'subject' column of your email whether you are seeking for an attachment or a chambering spot. These CVs will then be forwarded to the participating law firms before the LCC. Shortlisted candidates may be called for an interview on the day itself.
Do feel free to drop by http://www.lawcareerconvention2011.blogspot.com/ for latest updates on the LCC!
