Young Lawyers' Division:
"Excelling at Articles"
Surviving and Thriving During Your First Year

excelling at articles Ottawa - Aug 26, 2008
London - Sep. 15, 2008
Toronto - Sep. 18,  2008

Excelling at Articles last year had the highest attendance in years. The program has been updated based on student feedback and will provide practical tips and advice to help students make the most of their articling experience. The program focuses on private practice in a non-criminal law setting although it will apply (to varying degrees) to public practice, in-house practice and criminal practice. Judges and/or masters, seasoned lawyers and those fresh from the trenches will discuss topics such as the articling student, practice management, research and writing, networking, court and life after articling.
