How to prepare before you apply
- If you have drafted anything before, such as a notice, application or pleading from a moot, clinic or earlier internship, keep a clean sample ready. The firm gives preference to court drafting experience.
- Brush up on reading a judgment quickly and noting the key holdings. Research and case-law analysis are a big part of the work.
- Practise writing short case briefs from a recent judgment. It helps with the brief-preparation duty.
- Get comfortable with how court files are organised, so compiling case files is not new to you.
- Be ready to explain why litigation interests you. The posting stresses a proactive attitude to learning.
