Articling salary - $42,894
You will receive a salary during your articling term.

During the articling term, students will rotate through 2 sections – a litigation section (including the Public Prosecution Service of Canada) and a non-litigation section. A few months prior to the student’s arrival, we will send a booklet listing all the possible articling rotations. Students will pick their top 5 choices for each section. Although we try to obtain your top choices, it is not always a guarantee.

Students will be assigned a supervisor for each rotation to provide them with professional guidance and support. Most of the time, one of these supervisors will also double as the student’s principal.

Throughout the articling term, students will have the opportunity to network and establish contacts with potential hiring managers in various sections for possible work opportunities once you are called to the bar.
