What is STEP
STEP, is a trainee exchange programme that enables law students and young lawyers to gain first hand experience of the substantive and procedural law as well as the culture of another country. The traineeships are between 2 weeks and 18 months and can take place in any law related area; law firms, courts, public institutions, banks, in-house legal departments, consulting firms and international organisations.
Before and during the traineeship, ELSA provides assistance with finding accommodation, applying for visas, when necessary, and organising social events to involve the trainee in the daily life of the local community.
If you are an employer interested in hiring a trainee through our programme, go to our partner's page to find out more about the benefits of taking part in the STEP programme.

What are the benefits?
The benefits of a STEP traineeship are immeasurable. STEP gives increased knowledge of a particular legal system or area of law, thus strengthens the professional skills of the trainee. As important as the academic and professional skills are, the improved language abilities and the experience of another culture that the trainee gains while participating in STEP are invaluable.
Furthermore, the trainee acquires valuable contacts, personal as well as professional, and future employment prospects.
In consequence the students and young lawyers are better prepared for becoming lawyers of tomorrow, working in an international environment.
