The summer programmes allow students to experience the working environment at Miller Thomson prior to their articling year. Summer students will be involved in a variety of assignments and are encouraged to join our lawyers to observe proceedings. These experiences provide the students with greater insight into Miller Thomson, the practice of law and the areas of law which may be of interest to them. The rotation system at Miller Thomson provides the students with optimum exposure to the diverse areas of law which are practiced at the firm. While students are encouraged to explore all areas available to them, our programme is flexible if a student has a specific interest.
Students accept work on request from any lawyer in the area to which they have been assigned.
That lawyer will advise, supervise and provide feedback to the student throughout the work assignment. Miller Thomson prides itself on its people-oriented approach to problem solving and assisting students in the completion of their assignments. Students are assigned tasks with a level of responsibility commensurate with their experience and interest in the particular area in question. Our libraries employ dedicated staff members who provide valuable assistance to students in their research assignments. Students also participate in introductory research seminars given by our librarians and senior lawyers.
