Throughout the year the student will be involved in the following practice areas:

There will be no organized system of rotation through the practice areas as the student will work in all the above areas throughout the term of articles.

We will involve the student in various marketing activities of the firm including social events, receptions, sports, staff functions so the student develops an understanding of the importance of marketing in a small law firm.
