Training ground offers to local law graduates
*
The Legal Department is inviting applicants ordinarily domiciled in Hong Kong to fill vacancies under the Legal Trainee Scheme from August 1 next year.
The scheme, introduced for the fourth year, is intended to provide practical training for local law graduates in accordance with the requirements of the Law Society of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Bar Association.
The scheme is also open to government officers serving in legal/judicial group of departments who hold qualifications recognised for training purposes by the two professional bodies.
A spokesman for the Legal Department said today (Friday) that to give more legal trainees the chance to acquire experience in various types of legal work undertaken by government lawyers, the quota for the scheme has increased from five places in 1993 to 15 places.
"Although no obligation is placed on legal trainees to join the Legal Department after completing the training, nor is the Legal Department obliged to offer appointment to them, the Legal Trainee Scheme provides a constant pool of high quality young local lawyers who are valuable for the implementation of the department's localisation programme," the spokesman said.
Under the scheme, trainees of both solicitor and barrister streams will work in the Civil and Prosecutions Divisions of the department for periods of three to six months. They will also spend several months in the private sector to gain experience there.
