What Former Students Say About Their Rotations With The Solicitor Groups
"I really enjoyed the solicitors' rotation because it was, surprisingly, in this group that I got the most advocacy experience. For example, it was while I did a rotation with the Revenue Tax Group that I appeared in Chambers and while I did a rotation with the Resource and Environment Group that I represented the province in a hearing at the Environmental Appeal Board."
~ Aaron, Lawyer, Revenue and Taxation Group
