Goals

The aim is to give the student an early opportunity to come into contact with a legal profession and to become familiar with the concrete implementation of concepts that he/she will have studied theoretically in the academic courses. Internship agreements are concluded with representatives of the various professions concerned, including lawyers, magistrates, notaries, bailiffs, as well as lawyers linked to the business, public and voluntary sectors. The course takes place between October and April. Its duration varies between a minimum of 60 hours and a maximum of 75 hours. The hours are to be agreed between the trainer and the trainee. The student trainee is supervised by the academic manager.

Content

The content of the internship and the nature of the work performed by the student trainee are determined by the profession concerned.

Assessment method

At the end of the internship, the trainee is asked to write a ten-page document outlining the activities in which he/she participated, the issues and challenges related to the profession concerned, and the lessons he/she learned from the experience. He/she supports his/her report with concrete examples. Specific instructions for writing up the work, in particular the use of generative artificial intelligence software, are set out in the ‘rapport de stage’ document sent to students at the beginning of the year.

In turn, the supervisor gives an overall assessment to the academic supervisor. The student's report, as well as the assessment expressed by the supervisor, are taken into consideration by the academic supervisor for the attribution of a final grade.
