Four law students have completed the Bar of Ireland’s inaugural internship programme.
Greta Baronaite from ATU Letterkenny, Alvena Sharma from Trinity College Dublin, Lee Mac Cuinneagain from the University of Limerick and Michael White from University College Dublin took part in the two-week initiative.
The four interns were selected by the Bar’s university outreach committee from a pool of 32 nominees.
Following a successful pilot, supported by a number of practitioners, the Bar says it will offer the internship programme again next year.
Aoife Carroll SC, speaking on behalf of the Bar’s university outreach committee, said: “We were delighted to launch this pilot internship programme, which reflects our ongoing commitment to outreach and broadening access to the profession.
“This initiative offered a meaningful introduction to the Bar and the justice system for aspiring legal professionals.”
