We believe that empowering practitioners and lawyers to work more closely together can bring significant benefits, especially at a time of great change and development in legal practice. The aim of the Centre is to promote the use of high-quality scientific work to support development and standards in legal professional practice and training. This is done through career-oriented research and writing, as well as through a series of seminars, conferences and other activities where practitioners and academics can exchange views on professional legal practice. This center has evolved from the role of the City Law School by offering a wide range of high-quality legal education and training as part of a growing and research-active law school. This unit offers students the opportunity to find and complete an approved internship to gain experience in a legal environment. Students develop the ability to apply and deepen their theoretical knowledge of law, improve important written, oral and interpersonal communication skills, and further develop their legal skills and competencies by applying them in a practical legal context. If you are studying the Bachelor of Laws or the Juris Doctor, you will have the opportunity to complete your own internship in a legal environment. Your internship can take place in a private law firm, a municipal law center, a legal advisory team, an in-house team of lawyers, a court, a ministry, with lawyers and mediators, or in research for lawyers. The aim is to enable academic researchers, professional writers, lawyers and others to share their expertise and do so in London, one of the world`s most important legal centres.

This unit includes at least 100 hours of legal work experience. No official presence is required. If you have any questions, please contact the WIL Faculty team at bl-wil@deakin.edu.au.
