We want you to experience our unique culture and walk away from your interview enthusiastic about our firm, understanding why we are consistently ranked as the best litigation boutique in Canada, and why excellence is one ofour core values . During the process, we will learn about you, your accomplishments, your path to law, and what drives your passion for advocacy. Our hope is that the tips and testimonials in this guide are a helpful tool as you embark on your recruitment journey.  \nOUR STUDENT PROGRAM TEAM  \n\\#WHERETHEBESTGETBETTER  \nTips  \nLAUREN SIGAL  \nDirector, Legal Talent  \nOn demonstrating your interest in advocacy…  \nFirst and foremost, we’re looking for well-rounded law students — driven, resourceful, confident, and enthusiastic. We want to hear about your interest in and passion for advocacy and a career in litigation. This could mean learning about your experience mooting, working at a legal clinic, or leading a community organization. What did you learn and how did you overcome obstacles? What impact have these experiences had on you? How have you developed your skills? If you don’t have legal advocacy experience, tell us about when you’ve successfully advocated for a cause, a committee, or in a previous professional experience. It’s not about any one thing. We want to hear about the skills you have that will make you a future expert litigator!  \nMARGARET ROBBINS  \nPartner  \nOn helping us get to know you…  \nWe know that the recruitment process can be stressful and challenging to navigate. We aim to help reduce some of that stress (through our various unique initiatives and resources) so that you can focus on what matters —helping us get to know you! We want to hear about your interests, hobbies and passion projects. Tell us about the teams, groups, and organizations you belong to. We want to hire the whole you.  \nBRENDAN MORRISON  \nPartner  \nOn what name-anonymization means for your application…  \nAll of our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Accessibility (IDEA) initiatives are designed with the principle objective of being more, not less inclusive. Nameanonymization is designed to interrupt unconscious bias before it happens so that reviewers can apply the lessons learned from our yearly recruitment and IDEA training and focus on the parts of your application that demonstrate you are the best person for the job. Avoiding unconscious bias lets us evaluate our future lawyers on what is truly important. So tell us who you are in substance and what you are most proud of —we can’t wait to get to know you, and we want to make sure we do it right!  \n\n| \u003Cbr>Make sure your application is polished, comprehensive and error free. |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Do your research.\u003Cbr>Know what you want out of the experience and where you want to be. |\n| \u003Cbr>Be true to yourself and let your talents and uniqueness shine. |\n| \u003Cbr>Consider your Wi-Fi connection and virtual background. |\n\n\\#WHERETHEBESTGETBETTER  \nTIPS  \nMADELEINE ANDREW-GEE  \nAssociate  \nOn writing a clear and effective cover letter…  \nA cover letter is a great example of written advocacy. Just like a factum, a cover letter should be brief, specific, and the best points should go first.  \nA well-written cover letter will effectively answer two basic questions: “why do you think you’re a great candidate for the position?” and “why are you interested in the firm?”. Before you begin writing, create a point form outline response to these questions. This should make starting to write less daunting and if you eventually encounter writer’s block, you can go back to this list andre-orient yourself.  \nYour cover letter should also meaningfu","cbCaipqoNyZBmeNi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipqoNyZBmeNi","pdf",1437596,9,"English","# Tips\n## Our Student Program Team\n## Writing a Clear and Effective Cover Letter\n## Learning About the Firm You’re Interviewing With\n# Testimonials\n## Choosing the Firm for Hands-On Experience","[{\"question\":\"What qualities are the recruitment team looking for in law students?\",\"answer\":\"The team seeks well-rounded law students driven, resourceful, confident, and enthusiastic, with genuine interest in advocacy and litigation.
