The Supreme Court has launched a paid internship for aspiring lawyers from underrepresented communities at the Bar, in which eight participants will observe cases, shadow judicial assistants and discuss legal arguments with justices.

Over the course of the week, participants, who will be paid the London living wage, will each be assigned to a judicial assistant and will complete pre-hearing preparation and research tasks. They’ll also get the opportunity to attend pre-hearing discussions with judicial assistants and watch cases being heard, after which they’ll meet with their assigned justice to discuss the appeal.
