Does my private bar rotation have to be with a private law firm?

Generally, yes. The private bar rotation exposes students to areas of legal work not handled by the Attorney General, such as matrimonial and estates law, and law office management.

Nevertheless, a rotation with a legal advice clinic may be possible provided the organization's activities do not place the student in a conflict of interest that cannot be accommodated on their return to government. Students must be supervised by a practicing lawyer who meets the Law Society's requirements for acting as a principal.
