The Internship Program

The course requires and develops both legal knowledge and a lawyer's approach to problem identification, analysis and recommendations.

The internship work setting may be in the government departments, law firms, parliament, and non-government organisations. The project, which is settled by written agreement among the student, professional and internship director, may be multi-disciplinary but must have a strong law element and of practical utility to the workplace organisation.

Internships may also be available to work with members of the Law School on projects of an applied nature. These projects may include submissions to inquiries and parliamentary committees, responses to discussion and issues papers, and projects of bodies with which members of the Law School are involved (for example, advisory councils). A Law School protocol governs these Law School internships. Faculty staff will advise the internship coordinator when such projects are available.
