Summer Student Program
The Summer Program at Blaney McMurtry is designed to provide students with the opportunity to work in an area of their choosing. We feel that the summer session is too short for a formal rotation system, so we will match each student with a lawyer in the student's chosen practice area who will act as a mentor and guide during the summer session. Summer students will receive interesting and varied assignments, similar to those given to articling students.
We believe in involving 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.
Blaney McMurtry is committed to the development of the student as a professional. Through our Mentor Program, summer students are teamed with a junior associate. The mentor monitors the flow of work to the student, as well as progress generally. In addition, the mentor provides both formal and informal evaluations to the student as to his or her progress. The Mentor Program affords a unique opportunity for each of our students to establish an ongoing relationship with an experienced member of the firm.
Blaney's summer program is open to second-year law students.
