Legal Internships

A student will be tasked with providing research, advice, drafting and representation for a range of law firms, voluntary and statutory organisations, to assist them in their future development and progress.

Outline of Activity

The nature of this work is particularly relevant in light of the recommendations of the Civil and Family Justice Review recently conducted by Lord Justice Gillen and his reference to pro bono activities including that provided by the award winning Ulster University Law Clinic, under whose supervision, these internships will be conducted.

Learning Outcomes
