Seasonal Clerk Program
Many of our former seasonal clerks have found a clerkship at the
firm to be their first step to a successful career with Maurice
Blackburn.
Our Seasonal Clerk Program is designed to give you a broad
overview of all aspects of plaintiff law and to provide you with
real, practical experience. The program involves placement in one
particular practice area or office of the firm, enabling you to
become significantly involved and develop an in-depth knowledge of
the area in which you work. The program also includes seminars and
information sessions which allow you to develop an understanding of
all practice areas of the firm.
The Seasonal Clerk Program provides a great pathway to a
potential traineeship position at Maurice Blackburn. Seasonal
clerkships are offered in Victoria and Queensland.
Maurice Blackburn's Victorian Seasonal Clerk Program runs
for three weeks. Placements will be in the Melbourne CBD or a
suburban office. To be considered for the program, you must be in
your penultimate year of study and be a permanent resident of
Australia when you apply.
