The aim of the internship is to help lawyers to learn about law and the practice of the legal profession in France and in an international environment. The traineeship offers a unique opportunity to create a sustainable professional and friendly network between young lawyers from diverse backgrounds. It allows lawyers from around the world to meet and compare their different legal systems.

The Stage International will be held from October the 3rd to November the 25th 2022 (eight weeks). Lawyers will receive high quality training from renowned professors and lawyers in Paris and practical experience in a law firm. Tuition is fully covered by the Paris Bar.

The Law Society can put forward one applicant. The requirements of the Paris Bar are that the traineeships/internships are open to lawyers who are under 40 years of age and fluent in French. Lawyers will be required to hold their own civil liability insurance and pay their own travel and accommodation costs.
