We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

While reckoning that I must not be asking these questions, however, I could not resist the temptation since I fervently want to convert this opportunity. This is not another attempt at securing a prestigious internship; it stems from a genuine admiration for the HMJ's illustrious career and contributions to the law. I will be grateful for any & every insight on this topic.
As far as i know, there's an application form which is accompanied by a research brief assement of sorts. However, I hope that someone more acquainted with the process could shed some light upon it. Perhaps it's wiser to apply to multiple offices to maximise your chances of getting atleast one judicial internship.
The form requires you to prepare a Research Memo, instructions are in the form itself and very self-explanatory.
Lastly, my suggestion would be to target the months of October and onwards. Since presently the Office is conducting assessments for inducting new Law Clerks.
All the best.
