Career preparation

Prepare for your first legal internship

A practical checklist for organising your applications and making the most of an internship.

Sample content for this website preview. Names, dates and arrangements require confirmation by the Union.

Start by identifying the areas of practice you would like to explore. Keep a clear record of application requirements and deadlines supplied by each organisation.

Prepare a concise CV, a tailored cover letter and any writing sample requested by the employer. Ask permission before naming a referee.

This is general preparation guidance, not an advertised vacancy. The Union can publish confirmed opportunities here as they become available.
