During the summer articling period, a summer student will also rotate between practice areas, but due to the shorter time period, the number of practice areas covered will be fewer and narrower, and the time spent in each will be shorter. We encourage our summer students to work in two distinct practice areas during the summer, one of which should be a solicitor's practice area and one of which should be a litigator's practice area. However, where possible we accommodate requests to work an entire summer in a particular area.
