Students

We have now completed both our summer student recruitment for the 2013 term, and our articling recruitment process in relation to the 2013/2014 articling term.

Summer Students

We are currently looking for summer students for the 2014 summer period.

The Summer Student Program at SmithValeriote is an important part of our growing firm and we highly value the opportunity to invest in our students to provide a meaningful learning experience for aspiring members of the Ontario and Guelph Bar.  All students are matched with a lawyer as their Mentor, who will be available to the candidate to assist them in providing a rewarding learning experience.

Applicants must be in their second year of legal studies at a duly accredited Canadian law school, and have demonstrated strong academic accomplishments while displaying a commitment to one’s community. At SmithValeriote, the successful candidate will be exposed to a wide range of legal fields, with opportunities in civil litigation, real estate, corporate-commercial law, criminal defense, family law, wills & estates, condominium law, and municipal law. Successful candidates will commence in May 2014 and continue until August 2014.
