Law Work Experience Internships in Negombo
Law Work Experience Internships in Negombo
Duration: from 2 Weeks to 12 Weeks
Countries: Sri Lanka
You'll have the opportunity to attend court in Sri Lanka, as well as helping to draft legal documents in the office. The experience you gain will be invaluable to you in the future!Call: 0845 344 7585
You'll work at a Lawyers firm situated in the middle of Negombo. The head Partner is also an acting magistrate in Negombo. The lawyers you will work alongside are very friendly and speak good English. The magistrate is often in the office also. The office is small but neat and professional with air conditioning, two main rooms and a staff of five local lawyers.
Although they speak Singhalese and Tamil in Sri Lanka, the official language of law is English. Most court hearings take place in English, as does all legal documentation. Much of your work in the office may involve proof reading and drawing on your native language skills.
You will become involved in the current cases and you will also have the chance to sit on the bench at local courts observing hearings and trials. There are three courts in Negombo - the Magistrates Court, the High Court and the District Court. The Magistrates Court is conducted in Sinhalese, but it is possible that you will work at both the District Court and the High Court (where murder trials take place) - both of which conduct the majority of their proceedings in English.These are both within 2 minutes walking distance of the office and situated practically right on the beach!
You'll work from approximately 08:30am to 4:00pm from Monday to Friday. Volunteers will live in Ja-Ela with all the other Travellers volunteers (doing teaching or conservation projects) and you will commute daily. Negombo is about 45 minutes from Ja-Ela.
