Careers in Law
Summer and Articling Student Program
This year we would like to welcome Daniel Michaelson and Sonia Cappe to the firm in our Summer Program.
At Neinstein & Associates, the articling program is designed to expose students to every aspect of litigation and to provide them with the skills necessary to be a successful lawyer.
Students are provided with practical hands on experience that only a smaller, boutique firms can offer. Students are provided with a wide range of assignments from all lawyers within the firm. They gain valuable experience in drafting pleadings, motion materials, factums and memoranda of law, as well as in the art of oral advocacy. Our students are expected to attend and argue their own motions before Masters of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, conduct Pre-Trials in Small Claims Court and appear on behalf of clients before various Tribunals, including the Canada Pension Plan, Social Benefits and Criminal Injuries.
Students are also given the opportunity to have carriage of their own files, under the supervision of the responsible lawyer. Students are invited to sit in and contribute to client meetings, examinations for discovery, mediations and pre-trials.
Not only are students an integral part of the firm, the articling program at Neinstein & Associates also acts as our recruitment system. We invest a lot into this program because we are always looking for new intelligent students to join our expanding firm. With a practical legal training through active participation , with guidance of a mentor to provide insight and direction, we are able to accurately assess an individuals potential while providing one of the most practical articling experiences in the city.
Neinstein & Associates articling program has been extremely successful for both the firm and the students. Four of the past five articling students have returned to the firm as lawyers. We are confident that at the end of the articling term, our students will have developed a solid foundation for a career in civil litigation and acquired the tools necessary to excel.
We welcome all candidates interested in joining our team to submit their resumes, including law school and undergraduate transcripts to Greg Neinstein, greg@neinstein.com
Summer applications are due November 30. Please note that we will not be participating in the On-Campus Interview Process. Articling Applications will be accepted in compliance with LSCU guidelines
