Legal Internship Program

The 911±¬ÁÏÍø Law School offers a Legal Internship Program, a professional skills unit within the  curriculum. This unit, LAWS2011, complements the Law School’s focus on integrating authentic professional practice experiences with higher education.

LAWS2011 is an optional unit if you are studying a single or double degree in Law. The unit provides the opportunity to gain experience in a legal environment for academic credit. You may undertake internships in either a full or part-time capacity depending on your circumstances. The duration of internship placements can range from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 20 days.  The workplace experience is supplemented by an assessment program designed to build your oral and written communication skills and to encourage reflective practice.

You are covered by the university’s work experience insurance arrangements on the basis that you are not being paid during your placement.

How it works

If you wish to undertake 911±¬ÁÏÍø Law School’s facilitated placements, you must generally also be enrolled in, or have completed, the Legal Clinic unit (LAWS3005).

Enrolment in LAWS2011 is subject to the approval of the 911±¬ÁÏÍø Law School. You cannot enrol into the unit without an approved internship. We do not guarantee all internships will be approved. Each application is individually screened and assessed for suitability based on its own merits.

Wherever possible, internship placements should take place within existing trimester study periods (Trimester 1, Trimester 2 and Trimester 3). It is possible to undertake a placement outside these dates, however you will need to seek approval from the unit coordinator.
