Student and Graduate Applications
Summer Clerk applications open March 2027
Our summer clerk programme is for law students in their penultimate year – so for law students who are scheduled to finish all of their University studies no later than June 2029. As we look to our summer clerk cohort to fill our permanent law clerk roles, you'll need to be available for a permanent full-time role starting in January or July 2029. If you have other plans after University which means that you are not available until after July 2029 (such as an exchange or overseas travel) please note this in your cover letter.
Law Clerk applications open March 2027
Our law clerk programme is for law students who will have finished all of their University studies by the end of 2027, and are available to start a permanent full-time role in January 2028.
Applications open in early March 2027 and close in late March 2027. Interviews will be held in late April in Christchurch and Dunedin and in early May in Auckland and Wellington.
Intern applications open September 2026
If you are a law student from the University of Auckland or AUT with a passion for excellence, and want to kick-start your legal career, and...
- have already completed at least two of the second year law papers; and
- will complete all your university studies by January 2029,
... then we are keen to hear from you when applications open in September.
Please note that our intern programme only applies to our Auckland office.
