As a virtual law intern, you’ll be placed in a local law firm, NGO or other company, assisting a local lawyer with all aspects of their work. Due to the breadth of possible placements, the nature of interns duties can vary greatly. General duties can include (but may not be limited to):

While interns may not play an active role in advocacy or court hearings, you can gain an understanding of the legal process and how to prepare for court proceedings.

You’ll be in regular contact with your supervisor through virtual meetings, where you’ll report back on your progress, receive feedback, updates and new tasks.
