Graduate recruitment
Many firms and organisations offer graduate programs to those who have completed or are in their final year of studying a law degree.
Clerkship recruitment
A legal clerkship is traditionally a structured rotation program that provides students in their final or penultimate year of study with an opportunity to obtain valuable hands on experience working in a law firm.
PLT & work experience
Obtaining legal work experience whilst still at university will provide you with valuable practical and realistic insights. Practical Legal Training (PLT) is a mandatory requirement for admission following your university degree.
