Programme Please note that we are unable to take any more applications for 2001. This 'allocation' to a lawyer is flexible - who you are assigned to depends on the workload of each lawyer. You may not know until you arrive who you will be working with. You will be working under the supervision of a lawyer, contributing to the organisation's work.
Placements are based on practical work experience, there is no formal training element.
You will usually be working independently on tasks and projects, with limited direct supervision. If you don't understand the task you have been given or have any problems or questions about the work, it will be up to you to discuss this with the lawyer you are working with. You may need to be persistent as the lawyers are usually run off their feet and juggling half a dozen different projects at once. Office hours are usually 9am-5pm. These are flexible, but we prefer interns and volunteers to stick to regular, agreed hours, or at least specific days.
