My summer experience at Clark Wilson has been wonderful. I have had the opportunity to do all kinds of work in a range of different practice areas, including reviewing medical documents for a capacity assessment, drafting a mediation brief, preparing research memos, and writing for textbooks. Throughout all of this, I have been most appreciative of all of the mentorship I have received. Everybody at the firm has been receptive and eager to help, and I have consistently felt supported, both as a student and as a young and developing lawyer. I am extremely excited to be returning to Clark Wilson next year for my articles and look forward to all that there is to learn then!
