The purposes of the program are to:

i.)    allow law firms and the legal profession to gain greater insight into Aboriginal culture and issues;
ii.)   provide an opportunity for Aboriginal law students to obtain work experience early in their legal career; and
iii.)  foster opportunities for ongoing relationships to develop between the Aboriginal students and practicing lawyers.

Should your office choose to participate, your office will simply accept job applications from first, second or third year Aboriginal law students for the period running from early May to the end of August 2011.  Offices are not required to make an offer and no student is required to accept an offer of employment.  Summer employment will only take place between a legal employer and student who come to mutually acceptable terrms.  Student application deadlines take place in mid-January, with interviews to be held the first week of February.

Kindly contact Brenda Hesje by October 14, 2011, if your office would like to participate in the program.
