Recipients may receive an additional $10,000 for each of their second and third year of law school provided they continue to meet the eligibility criteria.

While our My Future in Law: Student Recruitment Guide remains a helpful resource, it does not address virtual recruitment or how students can best prepare for that process. Because we all hope for an eventual return to in-person interviewing, rather than rewrite the Guide, we scoured the internet and decided to prepare this addendum with some additional tips to help students with remote interviewing in Spring 2021. We hope you enjoy. Read our Virtual Interviewing Tips. Calgary Initially, our reputation in Alberta was built upon our work in the oil industry.
