Testimonial:

‘The extensive practical hands-on experience I received during my summer co-op placement at Marler Law Firm resulted in an exceptional opportunity to apply my academic knowledge to a workplace setting. Everyone at Marler Law Firm included me in their work activities exposing me to many aspects of the practice. I was able to attend court and meetings with clients providing me with the opportunity to see how my assignments impacted the clients in the courts. For example, I edited a legal settlement and then attended the court date to see the file settle. It was great to have a lawyer to mentor me and provide training for all my assignments. It was a fantastic experience! The on-the-job training is the best way to learn’ – Nicole Morris, 17
