Montréal
Articling Student Programme
Hiring
The Montréal office usually hires six articling students, divided into two groups of three. The articling period is six months and, with Bar School (completed before articling) being either four or eight months, some juggling of timetables may be required.
In general, we begin one group in early February until early August. The second group then enters and continues from August to February. We strive to have at least three articling students at all times present at the Montréal office.
Rotations
We do not have a rotation system for our articling students. We favour a “real life” approach where lawyers are seen as clients, to be approached for work and with whom relationships and affinities may develop.
