Trainees

During the internship program, an intern will get acquainted with advocacy in practice and the regulations of advocacy and how criminal matters and litigation are handled. In addition to doing the work tasks, the internship includes familiarization with some written material supporting the content of the internship program. The internship program may include working at the Helsinki. The internship program can be accepted as a study internship (ONVAL9997 or OTMVAL9997). Including the internship program as a part of one’s studies must be agreed with the faculty as stated in the study guide.

The work tasks can be adapted to complete the studies at the same time. An intern’s worktime is on average six (6) hours a day every second day, meaning approximately 60 hours a month. The work times are agreed upon separately with the intern. The intern will be paid an hourly wage according to the recommendation of the Association of Finnish Lawyers.
