| Description of articling program |
Our stagiaire program is of a duration of six months, beginning in the spring, summer and fall, after the successful completion the Québec Bar School program. From day one, you'll do meaningful client-facing work - just as you will as a young lawyer. Taking responsibility for assignments from start to finish, you will develop close working relationships with colleagues and clients while gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience.
Your intellectual curiosity doesn't follow a fixed schedule, and neither do our programs. We don't have a dispatcher who assigns work because we have no preconceived notions about what students can or can't do, but you will meet regularly with the Director, Student Programs to ensure your workload is both manageable and diversified. Our program is designed for stagiaires who are highly motivated, have excellent communication skills and a fierce attention to detail. For more information, we invite you to consult our website. |
