Trio of legal regulators back interns code

updated on 12 August 2011

As reported in Legal Futures, a best practice code aimed at preventing the biased granting of internships and improving social mobility for underprivileged students has received backing from the Legal Serves Board (LSB), Law Society and Bar Council. The code - called the Common best practice code for high-quality internships - covers recruitment, induction, treatment, supervision and payment of interns, and sends a message that the internships its members provide are "transparent and open to all, irrespective of background". It was developed by the government-backed Gateways to the Profession Collaborative forum, which represents 60 professional bodies including the three above.

LSB chief executive Chris Kenny told Legal Futures: "It is crucial that access to these opportunities is not based on personal connections but on a transparent and fair recruitment process. It is equally important that internships carry with them appropriate remuneration, so that they are not just the preserve of those who can afford to work for nothing."
