Does your firm offer a rotation? If so, what does it look like for summer students and articling students?
Summer Students and Articling Students handle a variety of assignments for all our practice groups, from assisting with trials to helping with various corporate transactions. Students are also encouraged to be entrepreneurial, and seek work and experiences of interest to them. In this way, our program provides students with a greater insight into Miller Thomson, the overall practice of law and areas of law that may be of interest to them.
