Clerkship Program<br />
Graduate Program<br />
Whether you join us as a clerk or a law graduate, you’ll<br />
discover a world of possibilities that will take you<br />
further than you ever imagined.<br />
We offer two clerkship programs over summer. Our<br />
programs run for three weeks – the first starting in<br />
November and the second in January. Our programs<br />
coincide with most university holidays.<br />
You will work in one practice group with a range of<br />
different partners and lawyers. This will give you<br />
insight into the type of work we do and the clients we<br />
work for.<br />
Our Brisbane office has a particularly strong focus on<br />
natural resources, infrastructure, property<br />
development and corporate work.<br />
We are looking for law students in the penultimate<br />
year of their law degree to apply for clerkships.<br />
<strong>Law</strong> graduates spend their first two years rotating<br />
through two practice groups. Gaining extensive<br />
firsthand experience in two areas of interest can help<br />
you decide the area that you'd like to work in on a<br />
longer term basis. We believe that our 1 2-month<br />
rotation program provides a comprehensive, rather<br />
than a superficial, knowledge of each practice area and<br />
gives graduates an opportunity to develop strong<br />
relationships with their supervisors and other lawyers<br />
in the practice group.<br />
Application and Recruitment Process<br />
Students apply via our website<br />
www.allens.com.au/careers and will need to submit a<br />
covering letter, a resume and their academic<br />
transcripts.<br />
