This Student Internship Program is designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university students who are seeking practical legal experience aligned with their course requirements and career goals.

The program combines hands on work experience with structured learning and close supervision. Alongside day to day legal tasks, interns participate in a learning focused program that provides insight into how a law firm operates.
