Australian law graduate's career destinations [EIP 98/9]

This publication is a survey of Australian law graduates' career destinations of graduates from 1991 and 1995 cohorts in all Australian law schools.  The survey is comprehensive and includes data on skills and knowledge requirements, social profile, income level, career destination and job seeking process.

Abstract

This study will be of use to law schools, universities, practical legal training institutions, professional associations, current and future employers of law graduates, government, and law graduates themselves, many of whom rely on anecdotal evidence to determine what competition they face for desired jobs.

A primary motivation for the study was to address the issue of whether the growth in the number of law graduates over the last ten years has led to an oversupply of law graduates.  This research was funded under the Evaluations and Investigations Programme (EIP).
