Program description
Because it is the only program of its kind in Ontario, the Law Clerk Advanced program will help you gain experience in both general legal practice areas like corporate, litigation, family, and real estate, and more specialized fields like securities, intellectual property, employment, and immigration law.
You'll be prepared for a clerkship in any legal setting, whether at a private firm, a corporation, or a government body.
The need for college grads has never been higher, and many students find full-time jobs in their field of study even before they graduate.
