We Offer You

You will see how practical court work is conducted and receive general training in legal analysis and methodology. The overarching goal of the summer clerk position is to provide insight into the daily court work as well as the various cases and matters that occur at a district court. This primarily happens by giving you the opportunity to participate in practical work, such as taking minutes during both criminal and civil hearings, drafting judgments, conducting legal research, and to some extent preparing cases and matters. Other tasks that occur at the court may also be included in the position.

We are looking for someone studying in the law program who has completed the courses in procedural law as well as criminal and civil law, but you should not have completed your education before the summer.

You have good grades from completed parts of the law education as well as good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form. You convey information clearly and simply, both orally and in writing. Other important qualities include attention to detail, analytical ability, good collaboration skills, and the ability to organize and plan your work independently.
