A law internship in Canada will give you in-depth knowledge through hands-on professional experience, insight on North American legal practices and traditions, and international legal experience.
After graduating with a degree or certificate in paralegal or legal studies, your opportunities are endless. There is the more traditional pursuit of becoming a lawyer by earning an undergraduate degree and then applying to a law school. However, many people don’t realize that there are many other career options out there for students or graduates who have a legal background. An international internship in law will allow you to develop your overall skills and put your educational background to practical use.
A law internship in Canada is the perfect way to be able to explore all of those non-traditional opportunities that are open to you as a student or graduate with a background in law. Even if you do want to pursue a career as a lawyer, having some different experiences will help give you a new perspective and still allow you to gain relevant legal experience for your resume. Since it’s difficult to land a job in a top law firm with the competition being so tough, gaining relevant international legal experience will definitely set you apart from other candidates.
