The Summer Program is one of the cornerstones of our recruiting activities for our Vancouver office. Each year, we seek to fill a number of our articling positions with students who have worked with us during the summer.

We pay summer students the same monthly salary as articled students. In addition, we pay third year tuition fees and a book allowance to an aggregate maximum of $5,500 for any Vancouver summer student who is returning for articles.

Our summer students are treated in the same manner as our articled students, with one significant exception. Due to the relatively short period that our summer students are with us, we do not rotate our Vancouver office summer students through our various practice areas. Rather, we assign each student to a particular practice area and appoint a mentor for the student within that area. However, the summer program is flexible and we encourage students to work with lawyers in other practice areas if they choose.

In the Vancouver office we obtain temporary articles for our summer students in order that they may appear in Court.
