RSVP: opens two weeks prior to session date, RSVP via CSM

All Fall 2021 CDO Sessions will be held via Zoom. Only students who RSVP in advance will receive a Zoom link on the morning of each session.

While clerkship applications will be due in Winter 2022, it is best to begin your preparations early. Note: students can only apply to the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) during their 2L year. All other courts will accept applications from both 2L and 3L students.   

Clerkships allow students to engage in in-depth legal research, writing, and critical analysis under the direct guidance and mentorship of one or more judges. Some students may also pursue clerkships to satisfy the articling component in Ontario.

This 60-minute information session will provide you with an overview of clerkship opportunities across Canada, key dates, and the elements common to clerkship applications.

You should attend this session to gain a foundational understanding of the clerkship application process. This can help you decide if you want to clerk and what you can be doing to prepare effective applications.
