"Great Experience"

I am an intern at Legal Aid SA. What I love about being an intern here is that you get to work hand-in-hand with lawyers as well as clients. This is completely different to the on-campus experience that you get in class. You gain a lot of knowledge on the industry.
Best companies to work for in the Legal services sector.
