Leo Cussen
Are you interested in practising in criminal law or curious to know what it might involve?
Leo Cussen Centre for Law provides those with a law degree hands-on, practical training to become effective lawyers.
It offers the opportunity to run a criminal file from first contact with the client to appearing as advocate on their behalf in a simulated court environment.
This internship introduces you to the forensic analysis and strategic foresight essential to persuasively advocate for your client, by replicating the type of work you would be asked to do in a live internship.
The 3 modules are designed to build your capacity to critically analyse information from the perspective of therapeutic jurisprudence.
The modules increase in difficulty and we therefore recommend that you work through them sequentially.
Please note that the tasks within this program are hypothetical and for learning purposes only.
The scenario you will hear about is fictional and the client is portrayed by an actor.
Please be aware that there is explicit language used within the program, which may be upsetting for some participants.
