We are looking for candidates who are studying law. To be considered, you must have completed courses in criminal law and procedural law by the time of employment, but you should not have completed your studies before the summer. You should have good grades from completed parts of your law education, strong proficiency in the Swedish language in both spoken and written forms. Other important qualities include attention to detail, analytical skills, good teamwork abilities, and the ability to organize and plan your work independently.
