Scott Hall LLP offers a unique articling experience, giving our articling students exposure to all areas of the legal practice, while working in a small-firm atmosphere.

Students will gain experience in a number of critical areas including general litigation, both civil and commercial. Scott Hall LLP has an emphasis on insurance defence work which includes personal injury, property loss, professional liability, coverage issues, and all other areas of insurance practice. We are also able to offer a student experience in family law, real estate, wills and estates, criminal law and general corporate/commercial work.

• What do we look for in an articling student?

We believe it is an asset to have work experience in other areas before starting law school. We require superior interpersonal skills and a strong work ethic. At the same time, we look for students with interests outside of the law such as sports, politics and volunteer and community service.
  

• Do you hire summer students?
  
  Yes. Our summer student program is designed to feed into our articling program. Our goal is to allow students the opportunity to have exposure to the articling experience at Scott Hall LLP while at the same time giving the firm the opportunity to assess the student's academic and work abilities as well as their overall "fit" within the firm. Our goal is to be able to offer our summer students an articling position. As a result, we have an express preference for first-year law students.
