Traineeship

The Internship can be attended in various professional contexts, so the basic knowledge will fall on the legal topics covered in the course and strictly related to that context.

The teaching methodology is based on:

1. Attend 165 hours of internship at the supervisory entity, starting at the beginning of the 2nd semester.

2. Tutorial guidance: 10 hours, designed to accompany the student in preparing the internship report.

The tutorial guidance will be organized and can be given in person or via the zoom platform, and the designated supervisor must make an appointment:

One meeting in February, one in March, one in April and one meeting in May, designed to accompany the student in preparing the internship report.

Arranging the presence of students is the responsibility of the advisor, who must prepare a document identifying the meeting, indicating the date and the students’ signatures. If the zoom platform is used, this document is replaced by the activity report extracted from the platform.

Students’ attendance at meetings scheduled by the supervisor is mandatory; failure to attend any of the meetings constitutes grounds for exclusion from the final assessment.

3. Mandatory attendance at modules for the LSA internship, with sessions to be scheduled by the Presidency:
1. 2 hours on formalities with course director.

2. 2 hours of time management.

3. 4 hours of report writing.

4. 2 hours of reference and word management.

5. 2 hours of public presentations.
