Melbourne Law School and Victorian Bar Research Assistant Scheme
As the name suggests, the Melbourne Law School and Victorian Bar Student Research Assistants Scheme is a joint initiative between the Melbourne Law School and Victorian Bar.
The aim of the Scheme is to enable students to develop practical experience in the legal profession to complement their studies. It will also help them to develop professional networks at the Bar.
The Scheme will allow barristers to benefit from the highly developed research skills of Melbourne Law School students.
The Scheme is also supported by the University of Melbourne's central Careers and Employment service and registered on their database, Careers Online.
