2026 GLSA ‘Night with HR’

We are thrilled to have successfully hosted our flagship event, ‘Night with HR’, last Wednesday. This event was designed for law students to gain direct insights into what recruiters look for, learn practical ways to strengthen clerkship applications, and connect with HR representatives.

Whether students were putting the final touches on their clerkship applications or simply curious about the recruitment process, it was a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from the people behind the scenes.

A big thank you to Natalie Mascarenhas and Oliver Summers for your time, insights, and practical advice. Your expertise and genuine support have been invaluable for the future lawyers wanting to enter the profession.

We would also like to extend a big thank you to our Events & Engagement Directors Nityaa Khaire, Thomas Beaudry and Ha Minh Nguyen, and their dedicated team of co-opts in organising and preparing this event.
