“My experience at PRLaw has been nothing short of fantastic. Working alongside such a talented and diverse team has shown me the fundamentals of being a lawyer. This opportunity allowed me to expand on my skills
and has shown me the practical side of what being a lawyer entails. Throughout my time, I drafted an assortment of documents, assisted with various transactions, sat in on client meetings, and even got to experience the court room. Working and learning with the team at PRLaw was awesome, I always felt I could ask for help, have a laugh, and learn from quality colleagues who are experts in their field.” Jack Churstain, 2025/26 Summer Clerk

“My time at PRLaw was an invaluable experience that has taught me multiple things especially how the law works beyond lecture theatres.
I had the opportunity to learn how the inside of a law firm works, draft letters and documents, sit in client meetings, and sharpen my research skills. Being surrounded by a friendly and brilliant team made me look forward to being a lawyer and advocating for people with passion.” Bianca Palmieri, 2025/26 Summer Clerk
