Diversity

Do you need some clerical and administrative or research assistance to run your practice or the Clerk’s office? If the answer is yes - why not employ a First Nations law student? There are some law students currently looking for this opportunity.

As part of the Bar Association's Reconciliation Action Plan, all barristers, clerks and Chambers are encouraged to identify part-time employment opportunities for 2018 and 2019 for First Nations law students.

Ideally, this would be for a day or half day a week on a regular basis doing loose-leaf filing, administrative or clerical tasks for first and second year students and including research tasks for more senior students. Longer periods during university vacation is also a wonderful opportunity for the students. Also, a group of barristers could engage one student and share the work load and costs.

This initiative needs the ongoing support of more members of the NSW Bar to ensure its continued success. Learning how the Bar works and the role of barristers as well as some financial security significantly contributes to the success of the students in their law studies.

Please contact Chris Ronalds AO SC on ronalds@fjc.net.au or 9229 7378 if you have any employment opportunities or questions.
