The ANU College of Law attracts exceptional students who are passionate about justice and using their knowledge to make a positive contribution to the world. Whether you are a local, national or international law firm, government agency, non-government organisation, legal aid, legal advocacy or community law provider, peak body or sole practitioner, engaging a student intern can add research capacity and enhance your day-to-day operations.

For students, interning is a chance to learn from leaders in the profession, gain experience in the broad spectrum of practice, and deepen an awareness of potential career opportunities.

For hosts, it is an opportunity to mentor and shape the next generation of lawyers, engage with fresh perspectives, ideas and innovation, and evaluate potential future talent. In addition, it is an opportunity to develop lasting relationships and enhance your profile with gifted and committed students. Further, it helps internship hosts increase their familiarity with the research and teaching expertise at the ANU College of Law, opening creative avenues for longer-term institutional collaborations.

Internships are flexible and enable students to be hosted in operational face-to-face roles or virtually in a research-intensive capacity. Each intern will be supervised by a professional supervisor and supported by the Course Convenor and the ANU College of Law Careers and Employability team.
