On commencement, you participate in an induction program designed to provide an understanding of who we are, our clients, the work we do and how we do it.
You will be assigned to one practice group for your clerkship and have an allocated support network at all levels for guidance and support throughout your clerkship.
In addition to on-the-job learning, you will benefit from lunchtime partner connect sessions where you will hear their personal story and learn about different areas of practice.
You will complete a broad range of tasks, such as conducting research, reviewing and presenting documents, attending client meetings, court hearings, mediations and settlements, as well as shadowing partners and lawyers in client meetings.
You will receive regular feedback during your clerkship as well as a formal feedback session at the conclusion of the program.
