During Your First Year"
Ottawa - August 20 (more details soon)
Toronto -

This essential program continues to be a popular event with updates included every year based on student feedback. The program provides practical tips and advice to help you make the most of your articling experience with particular focus 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 “attitudes and characteristics to display”, practice management, research and writing, networking, court and life after articling. In a nutshell, if you want practical tips from those with experience, this is the program to attend.
