About this Event
Join your fellow first-years for an exclusive UQ experience and enter the Supreme Court of Queensland for a personalised introduction to the legal profession. You'll hear from barristers, solicitors, judges and more.
The first year cohort will be split into two groups. The first group will attend the morning session, and the second group will attend the afternoon session.
The groups will be accompanied throughout the program by UQ Law School staff members and student volunteers.
Upon arrival to the plaza area outside the QEII Courts of Law, you will need to register your attendance at the UQ Law School welcome desk and follow the instructions of the staff members who will instruct you on how to reach the Banco Court. It is imperative that you arrive at the arrival times listed below as social distancing limitations inside the elevators will be a timely exercise.
GROUP A - 9:00am arrival for a 9:30am start (Law/Econ duals - please select this group so you are able to make it to your Online Orientation Session later that day).
GROUP B - 12:00pm arrival for a 12:30pm start.
Please note:
- Business attire is required for this event.
- Due to social distancing requirements, ‘Element 6 - Visit a courtroom’ will only be available to a limited amount of students from each group. However, students who are unable to participate in this element on the day are encouraged to return to the QEII Law Courts on their own time to witness an active trial or sentencing hearing at a later date.
