Law graduate program

Do you want to do interesting work and get great experience? Do you want to work with a fantastic team of people and learn from the best in the business? Do you want to earn a good income and still have a life? Our Law Graduate Program offers all these benefits, but more importantly, you’ll also get the chance to make a difference.

The Law Graduate Program is open to final year law students, students enrolled in a practical legal training course and newly admitted practitioners.

Almost as soon as you start your career with Legal Aid Queensland you will get a file load and deal directly with clients. This is closely supervised, and our information sessions provided by senior lawyers will make sure all work is of the highest possible standard. You will be going to court, implementing legal strategy and working with a diverse group of clients.

Our graduate program differs from those offered by many law firms and has a once-yearly intake of about 10 law graduate recruits. If accepted into the program you have the flexibility to nominate when you would like to begin the program, after consultation with our graduate team coordinator.

You will start your career working in our law graduate teams in our Criminal or Family Law Practice — teams that have been established to train and develop lawyers. But you won’t be dropped in the deep end — you’ll receive extensive guidance and support from senior lawyers who will oversee your work and your progress as a legal professional.
