Application Process
Applications for our legal programs are done via our online application form which can be accessed on our clerkship programs page here.
Applications made via email will not be considered.
Once you've registered a user name and password, you will need to complete the following 3 items for your application to be considered:
- Online Application Form
Our online application consists of a few screens gathering basic information about your education, work experience, extra curricular activities and other achievements. You will have the option to upload your résumé to assist with making the application process quicker (and strongly recommend you do so) as the system will transfer general information from your résumé into the relevant screens, and therefore mean you only have to check it has transferred accurately and fill in any blanks. In addition to the basic information, you will need to upload your most recent academic results. We do not require a cover letter, however, we do ask a series of short questions in lieu of the cover letter.
Once you submit this part of the application, you will receive an email, with instructions on how to complete the remaining two items:
- An invitation to complete a Psychometric Assessment via pymetrics
You will also be asked to complete a Psychometric Assessment via our assessment partner, pymetrics. This is the only online assessment we use during our selection process and completion of all games is mandatory. Failure to complete all games will result in your application not being reviewed or considered.
- An invitation to complete a short Rare Recruitment survey
You will be invited to participate in a short Rare Recruitment survey. This survey is not mandatory and you will not be marked down whether you choose to participate or not. Further details on the Rare contextual recruitment system can be found under 'Rare Recruitment' below. Please note this survey will ask for information from your time in high school, including grades, so try to have this ready.
Once applications close, we will review all candidates.
We'll tell you the outcome of your application within four weeks of the closing date.
If you're shortlisted, you'll progress to the interview stage.
Successful candidates will be made an offer.
