Law Careers Office
Considering a career in law? We are the Law Careers Office (LCO) team, Jina Dhillon and Taryn Marwick. We offer exceptional career and professional development support to students of UVic Law in finding work through formal and informal recruitment processes. Our primary focus is to assist students in securing Summer and Articling opportunities. Our office also offers several events, information sessions and networking opportunities throughout the academic year.
These events offer students the opportunity to explore various career paths, network with potential employers and to develop their professional skills.
