Seasonal clerkships
After years of lectures, assignments and exams, you are probably planning to sleep in late and relax during the holidays. Tempting as that may be, if you want to get ahead, consider doing a seasonal clerkship at Arnold Bloch Leibler.
A seasonal clerkship at Arnold Bloch Leibler offers you the opportunity to experience first-hand life as a lawyer and our stimulating and unique culture. We do not hide behind smoke and mirrors. Instead, we offer a programme where you have the opportunity to be an integral part of our firm.
Arnold Bloch Leibler offers approximately 35 seasonal clerkships each year, timed to coincide with university holidays. A clerkship runs for four weeks, and there are three main intakes yearly: June/July, December and January/February. With only 10 to 12 clerks at any given time, you will not get lost in the crowd.
Generally, we only take students in their second-last year of study. Our experience has shown that, by this stage, students have reached a level of their education that can be developed further with us.
