2022 Paralegal Pathway Program null

Russell Kennedy Paralegal Program 

If you are a law student going into your final year in 2023, our Paralegal Pathway Program is designed to give you a real taste of life at Russell Kennedy. Russell Kennedy offers an 18 week program rotating through 3 practice groups. The program is designed to provide in-depth, on-the-job experience working across different teams within the firm. In the program, paralegals will spend 6 weeks in each practice group, which provides an opportunity to work with Principals and their different teams, clients and industries, and take a deep dive into matters, applying their skills learnt from formal studies in a practical, real life setting.

Upon commencement, paralegals are allocated a Paralegal Lead for their program. They meet with their Paralegal Lead on a regular basis to discuss their progression, rotations and assist with personal development. In addition to this, we also allocate a Rotational Supervisor and Paralegal Support for each rotation. The Paralegal Lead, Rotational Supervisor and Paralegal Support will ensure that you receive the necessary support to get the most out of your time with us.

We offer two paralegal roles each year, with one paralegal commencing in May and the second paralegal commencing in August. Both roles are part time 2-3 days a week depending on your university workload. The Paralegal Pathway Program is our future talent pathway into the Russell Kennedy Graduate Program.
