Internship

The Faculty of Law offers certain students the opportunity to carry out a a job shadowing internship in the practice of law under the guidance of a supervisor.

This job shadowing internship to professional practice can take place in any one of a number of “legal venues”: the Bar, judiciary, public sector, associations, private business entities, etc.

Students must carry out at least 60 hours of observation “in the field”, at the end of which they must write a report on their observations.  The supervisor writes an assessment report on each student.

For students enrolled in unilingual majors as well as for students enrolled in the bilingual French-Dutch or trilingual French-Dutch-English major, this job-shadowing process may be substituted for an optional teaching unit worth 5 credits attached to the third annual block of the program study.

For students enrolled in the bilingual French-English or trilingual French-English-Dutch majors, this job-shadowing process is added to their annual program, without replacing one of the optional teaching units that must be included, except if the practicum is taken in English, in which case it may be substituted for an optional teaching unit worth 5 credits attached to the third annual block of the program study.
