There are many final year law students who are desirous of securing practical legal experience in order to supplement their law studies but who are unable, due to substantial demand and shortage of available spaces, to secure vacational work within a law firm.

APA Africa prides itself of employing such students as paralegals (on a full time / flexi time basis), who then shadow the various professionals within the firm, thereby gaining invaluable practical legal training which will assist them in: writing boards, understanding the application and practicalities of the law they are studying and deciding on the areas of practice they wish to undertake for their future legal careers.

More importantly, and should these paralegals meet the stringent requirements set for them by APA Africa, they may be given the opportunity to complete their articles within the firm, thereby ensuring that they garner a broad range of  legal experience and training, which will then set them up for an exciting and rewarding career in law.

If you are one of these students, we welcome your CV for consideration:
