On alternative paths: RECHT.ENGAGIERT at the Juridicum

Auch wenn sich viele nicht vorstellen können, dass ein Jusstudium nicht nur RichterInnen oder AnwältInnen hervorbringt, so gibt es eine umtriebige aktive Gruppe am Juridicum, die jedes Jahr das Gegenteil beweisen möchte. Mit dem Event „RECHT.ENGAGIERT“ werden genau diejenigen Organisationen eingeladen, die nicht dem traditionellen Berufsbild der Rechtswissenschaften entsprechen. Doch auch der Non-Profit-Sektor und der Sozialbereich bieten den Studierenden und AbsolventInnen spannende Tätigkeiten.

Warum eine „alternative Berufsmesse“?

The aim of the "RECHT ENGAGIERT" information day on 5 December 2018 is to draw students' attention to legal organizations and activities that do not correspond to the traditional legal job description. This is also intended to reflect the broadening field of employment for lawyers in social reality.

Law graduates are not only active as lawyers, judges or entrepreneurs. Lawyers are also key players in internationally active NGOs, the social sector and journalism. Lawyers therefore play an important role in civil society with their voluntary work and professional activities. The "RECHT ENGAGIERT" information day would like to invite students to inform themselves, get involved and exchange ideas with renowned practitioners.
