This program offers applicants the opportunity to work in term employment for a period of one year. Jobs run from June 1 to May 31 although there is flexibility. Successful applicants will be exposed to all areas of legal practice to gain the skills necessary to pass the Nova Scotia bar admission course. Clerks perform legal research and assist department lawyers, as required. Public legal education courses and other training are sponsored where useful or necessary.
Officials recommend submitting applications as early as possible.
