Seeking casual law clerk position

[Baron]

Hi, I'm a 6th year law student, wondering if anyone here has a contact in the legal industry. I'm looking to get some work in during my last semester, can't comment on my timetable for next semester yet, but would be looking for 2 days/week. It's a fairly oversaturated market and anything I could do that might improve my employability at the end of my degree would be great haha. That and earn some money, of course.

I have mid-credit marks overall, with distinction average over last 18 months, one prior vacation clerkship with boutique commercial firm. I'm a motivated employee and not a complete tosser, so those might be some good points too. Interested in any work for law firms or a public sector casual job to suit law graduate (probably thin on the ground).

Thanks for any help guys.

6th year? What the hell have you been doing?

Double degree in Law/Commerce is a standard 6 year course without overloading. If you overload every semester for 4 years, you can get it done in 5. Didn't really feel like spending all that time overloading!

If on the other hand you mean why haven't I had more work experience or something, I've worked 3 days a week since first year!

I agree with the above posts.

Also, I would recommend applying to any position that is related to law – including volunteer work at CLCs, various advocacy organisations etc.

I also recommend checking your law society website for various opportunities and other law schools' websites too!
