[drainbammage]

Would anyone here be able to direct to me to places that provide good work experience in the legal field in the sydney CBD? Im looking more towards places like a solicitors or lawyers office. I also dont mind going into a court, i was directed towards ODPP however they told me they no longer offer work experience.

Supreme court :You have to ring up and reserve a place though, they go really fast app erantly.


Otherwise maybe see if your family knows anyone who works in the field who allow u to do work experience with them.

Maybe try speaking to your schools Career adviser if your school has one?

Well it is a bit late for applying to most legal places for work experience as they tend to be very popular.

At Slater & Gordon, we understand that workplace learning programs are mutually beneficial for both students and the firm. These programs broaden the student’s experience and understanding of the world of work and career opportunities and also provide the Firm with the opportunity to participate in the education, career development and vocational training of students in our community.

The Firm is often approached by students wishing to complete a period of work experience with us in the following categories:

Secondary school students;
Vocational / Professional Practical Placements;
Seasonal / Summer Clerkships;
Work Experience Clerks.
Students are required to lodge an application which includes a copy of their CV and a Cover Letter stating the position and area of the Firm they are interested in and their reason for choosing Slater & Gordon. This application should be sent to hr@slatergordon.com.au.

Due to the overwhelming number of requests received, the firm has limited placement opportunities available.

My careers advisor told me to go to the city and ask a bunch of places for work experience, but i dont want to do that, so im looking for recommendations for a bunch of places to email asking for work experience, by the way the date our school has set for compulsory work experience is in December, so the places will have plenty of notice.
