    IT’S NOT JUST FOR THE FREEBIES! The law fair comes along once a year and is your opportunity to explore some of your career options in much greater depth than the internet allows. It can be tempting to turn up, walk around picking up some freebies and leave – but if you do, you’re missing out on the full benefits of having a fair which is ultimately being organised for you!
