Volunteering is an opportunity to gain invaluable work-experience, providing students a chance to work with the law and put into practice what they have studied. Much is also learnt through volunteers dealing with the public, community groups, lawyers and other volunteers.

We usually welcome applications from law students who are in their third year or above, but we will consider all applications on their merits.

Two programs are run each year:

• Semester program: Run during the school semester.
• Summer program: Starts at the start of the summer break and continues until the start of first semester.
