What you'll do

**Responsibilities**:
At McInnes Cooper, our students are given the opportunity to gain first hand exposure to the life of a practicing lawyer in a busy law firm. Students are assigned to a specific team of lawyers for each month of the summer and depending on their areas of interest, they will have exposure to business, litigation, and labour and employment law. Students will not only receive exposure to what goes on inside the doors of a law firm, they will also have the opportunity to attend court and client meetings.
