Student Program Our Program The Ottawa office usually engages one, but has in the past hired two, articling students each year. Due to the size of our office and the nature of our practice, students do not follow a formal rotational program. There is a close working relationship between the students and all of the lawyers. Our students are typically involved in research at the CRTC and other specialized tribunals before which we appear, including the Copyright Board, and more traditional forms of legal research. Students participate in meetings with clients, attend tribunal hearings and are very likely to have the opportunity to see files develop from the beginning through to completion. Aspects of business law permeate our practice so students can expect to be introduced to corporate and commercial law. Our goal in working with articling students is to provide a constructive and friendly environment in which students learn the practice of law and become directly engaged in work for clients. We also encourage participation in continuing legal education initiatives. Students in the Ottawa office are welcome to participate in training programs conducted out of the larger Toronto office. For many years the firm has co-sponsored a national, biennial conference on Communications Law and Policy. It is not necessary for students to have prior exposure to communications law. Students should have an enquiring mind and an interest in written advocacy, public policy and administrative law. We offer a competitive salary and benefits in keeping with other Ottawa firms.
