Articling Rotation
At Blaney McMurtry, we maintain a flexible, individually tailored rotation system involving two principal stages.Litigation
Our students are exposed to commercial litigation, insurance litigation, administrative law, insolvency, mortgage remedies, labour and employment, aboriginal, family and environmental law.
Business Law
In this stage of their articles, our students have rotations involving a mix of corporate and commercial law, taxation and estates work, and real estate.
Through the rotation system, we try to ensure our students are exposed to as many disciplines of law as possible. The articling program is very much focused on the teaching and instruction of our students. The rotation format is also designed to allow our lawyers a fair opportunity to assess each student's potential as a prospective member of the firm.
We believe in enrolling our students in all facets of our practice. Considerable emphasis is placed on each candidate's sense of initiative and willingness to assume responsibility. Our students are continually challenged and can expect to become involved in matters of increasing complexity and responsibility as their abilities develop through the articling year.
In addition to legal research and analysis, our students can expect to be directly responsible for assisting in the formulation of strategies for problem solving and drafting documents. They can expect direct client contact and reporting, and advocacy before courts and administrative tribunals within the parameters set out by the Law Society.
