The Law Students' Society is proud to present the annual Five Years Out Panel!

Alumni from Queen's Law'14 will join us on campus to discuss their journey from graduation through their careers to date. New this year, the panel will have a special focus on nontraditional and unique legal careers.

Pizza will be provided for all registered attendees (vegan and gluten free options will be served)!

The panel will be followed by a "Coffee Chat" style reception where students will be able to speak to our panelists one-on-one to pick their brains, seek advice, and share interests. This is an exclusive networking event with limited space. Only those who attend the panel will be able to attend this event.

Register through CSM now to avoid missing out!
