Milton, Canada Ombudsman Ontario Full time

Are you a law student looking to gain work experience in a legal setting in the summer of 2024?

The Ontario government is one of the largest employers of law students in Canada, hiring approximately 75 summer law students and175 articling and law practice program students every year. Our law student programs offer the opportunity to gain legal skills in a supportive and collaborative environment. Students participate in work that has a real and meaningful impact on the lives of Ontarians. For information about the work of each of MAG's areas of practice, please visit the Law Student Programs Practice Areas.

The Halton Crown Attorney's Office is seeking one (1) 2L summer law student for summer 2024.

The Crown Attorney system is responsible for prosecuting the vast majority of Ontario's criminal cases. Organized on a local basis, each office is supervised by a Crown Attorney and staffed by Assistant Crown Attorneys. In becoming a proficient prosecutor, an Assistant Crown Attorney must master all aspects of trial practice including such matters as case preparation, witness examination and cross-examination, the use of forensic evidence, legal argument, and the art of addressing the jury. There is no better way to develop a barrister's skills than to embark on a career as an Assistant Crown Attorney.

Apart from trial work, Assistant Crown Attorneys may provide a range of related services. They give legal advice to police during the course of investigations; they assist police in obtaining search warrants; they review police briefs and conduct "charge screening" (by which they endeavour to eliminate charges where there is no reasonable prospect of conviction); and they try to facilitate reasonable resolutions of cases prior to trial whenever possible.

OPS Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism:
We are committed to build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve and to promote a diverse, anti-racist, inclusive, accessible, merit-based, respectful and equitable workplace.

Visit the OPS Anti-Racism Policy and the OPS Diversity and Inclusion Blueprint pages to learn more about the OPS commitment to advance racial equity, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion in the public service.

We offer employment accommodation across the recruitment process and all aspects of employment consistent with the requirements of Ontario's Human Rights Code. Refer to the "How to apply" section if you require a disability-related accommodation.

What can I expect to do in this role?
Summer law students will be responsible for preparing Charter responses as well as doing legal research for Crowns. Students will be encouraged to then go to Court to watch the legal arguments on the matters upon which they have worked. While research and writing play a very important part of the overall learning experience, students will also be encouraged to follow cases or types of cases occurring in that Courthouse in which they may have an interest, as well as observing the various types of court as time permits (e.g. bail court). In such cases, students will be able to get a behind-the-scenes look at how cases are prepared and ultimately presented. In addition, if possible, students will likely be able to attend at least one Crown education program.

How do I qualify?
Mandatory
Applications are welcome from students in their second year of law school.
