Each year, Gowlings Calgary hires approximately 6 - 8 students for articles commencing in the summer of the following year. Applications are accepted from second and third year law students. Interviews are granted to selected candidates after careful consideration of all applications.
In selecting articling students, our criteria include:
- academic performance;
- the interview, as indicative of personal qualities and abilities;
- employment experience;
- interests and activities;
- references; and
- any other relevant factors, such as fluency in other languages and academic background.
Gowlings Calgary seeks students who thrive on challenges and the multi-faceted legal experiences of private practice. Gowlings Calgary regards the articling experience as an investment in a long-term relationship, and an exciting future, for the student with Gowlings.
Gowlings Calgary recruits according to the Law Society of Alberta guidelines. Please visit www.lawsocietyalberta.com for further information on these guidelines. Gowlings is an equal opportunity employer. Nonetheless, we appreciate the value of diversity in the make-up of our professional complement. Aboriginal persons, members of visible minorities, or persons with a disability should, therefore, feel free to self-identify. Successful applicants are selected based on individual merit and input from across the Firm.
Please submit your application, including résumé and current transcripts, to J. Barrie Marshall Q.C., Chair of the Articling Committee. The deadline for articling student applications is May 14, 2010.
Gowlings Calgary typically hires 6 to 8 students for the articling program. We have hired 8 articling students for the 2009-2010 term and 5 articling students for 2010-2011.
We wish all articling candidates success in their search for an articling position!
