    Overseas legal placement
    Hi all, just looking for some advice.

    I'm starting university in September but trying to think ahead in terms of employment opportunities. I'd love to do an internship/placement overseas preferably law related (if possible?) which I would obviously fund myself. Has anyone done this or have any advice on how I would go about doing it?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    A lot of law firms will advertise international internships on their websites. I'm starting one in a couple of months in the Far East and I just sent them a CV and cover letter. Just find a country you'd like to go to, look up their law firms and browse the websites. That should also tell you whether, as a pre-university student, you are eligible for such schemes.
