Criminal Law Virtual Internship in Leo Cussen-The Forage

Forage works with global companies to transform the candidate  which helps students gain skills and intimate knowledge about companies and their career options. By completing a course with one of the organizations on our platform, candidates gain the confidence to apply for roles with these organizations and land their dream job.

Leo Cussen Centre for Law provides those with a law degree with hands-on, practical training to become effective lawyers. It offers the opportunity to run a criminal file from the first contact with the client to appear as an advocate on their behalf in a simulated court environment.

Leo Cussen Centre for Law was established in 1972 and continues to be recognized as a center of excellence for practical legal training and ongoing professional development for entry-level lawyers through to senior legal practitioners.

They offer both onsite and online practical training for law graduates seeking admission to the legal profession through their Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, taught from their training facilities in Melbourne and Perth.

The Forage, formerly known as Inside Sherpa, is an open-access platform designed to unlock exciting careers for students, by connecting them to company-endorsed Virtual Intern programs. Not only are they free, open access, and completely online – but also CV certified and endorsed by host companies.
