Legal internships
The NSW Law Reform Commission invites:
- law students in their final year;
- law students entering their final year in 2013; and
- recent law graduates
to apply for legal internships during the winter university vacation, 2012.
Interns work as volunteers on a full-time basis. The Commission does not provide any remuneration or financial assistance to interns.
An internship at the Law Reform Commission provides an opportunity to work closely with the Commissioners and law reform staff and contribute directly to the development of proposals for law reform. Depending on the reference this could include undertaking research, contributing to drafting consultation documents, assisting with consultation processes, or helping draft reports. The Commission credits the contribution of interns in its published papers.
The Commission seeks to provide a stimulating environment and a varied experience for interns.
Interns should be available to work 6-8 weeks equivalent full-time (this must be comprised of at least 4 weeks full-time work, the remainder can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis) commencing in June or July 2012. Applicants are invited to indicate their availability when applying.
Information about the Commission’s work is available in Current projects.
Information about the Commission’s structure and operation is available in About us.
