Law Student & Internship Opportunities
Printer-friendly version
Send to friendLaw students and legal interns are a vital part of West Coast’s work. Each year, West Coast welcomes a number of Summer Law Students, pro bono law students who volunteer during the school year, as well as legal interns and visiting lawyers who may already have completed law school in Canada or in other countries. Law students and interns assist staff lawyers in the areas of law reform, legal research and legal education.
These positions are voluntary, and we encourage students to seek the funding assistance of their law faculties, where available. We are also open to discuss flexible arrangements to permit students to undertake other paid employment.
For a personal perspective of what to expect working at West Coast for the summer, click here to read about the experiences of Dani Bryant and Simone Tielesh, our 2009 summer interns.
