“Starting summer articles in the midst of COVID-19, I was worried about losing out on the full summer student experience. Fortunately, from our very first day, we were made to feel welcomed and fully included in the life of the firm. Over the course of the summer, I had countless opportunities to engage in meaningful, hands on work, from contributing to a legal opinion on BC’s new UNDRIP legislation to drafting documents and interviewing witnesses for a complex wills and estates file. I am very much looking forward to returning to Clark Wilson as an articling student next year.”
