Each year, a range of law firms participate in the Graduate Employment Program, which is a program for final year law students who have not, for whatever reason, already secured full-time employment in a law firm once they graduate. Similar to the Summer Clerkship Program, applications are generally accepted through www.cvmail.com.au, however this will vary from firm to firm, so it is advisable for you to check each firm's website to confirm the relevant application process details.
