Student placements in native title representative bodies

The ANU Law School, along with the Law Schools at UNSW and Monash University, is involved in a joint project to improve the quality of professional support for lawyers in native title representative bodies (NTRBs). NTRBs are the bodies which conduct native title claims before the Federal Court, and which represent native title claimants and holders in negotiations about future use of native title land.

One of the aims of the project is to improve the profile of NTRB work among recent graduates, including through facilitating student placements. Students with strong academic records are encouraged to apply for short-term, voluntary work experience placements with NTRBs in various parts of Australia. Airfares (where relevant) and accommodation costs will be covered.

The attached document sets out more details about these placements. Students who would like more information about NTRB placement may also contact Jennifer Clarke in the ANU Law School on 02-6125 4653 or by email at clarkej@law.anu.edu.au

Students interested in spending part of their careers working in NTRBs may also consider applying for the program's scholarship to study mining law at the University of Dundee - see the attached document.
