Articling with Pivot Legal Society

We have one articling position available and will be accepting applications immediately and until August 17. After the 17th, if not sooner, we will be contacting successful applicants to schedule interviews.

There will be two rounds of interviews and our selection will be made no later than mid-September.

Applicants are encouraged to apply immediately.

Interviews will begin prior to the application deadline (August 17) and it is possible that offers will be made prior to mid-September, so get your application in early.

Applications for articling students at Pivot consist of four parts: a cover letter, resume, transcript, and writing sample.


 

(1) Your cover letter should speak to your choice to study law, your reasons for applying to Pivot for your articles, and your future plans.

(2) Your resume should cover academic, professional, personal and volunteer experiences and successes as well as your extra-curricular interests.

(3) Transcripts should cover the extent of your legal education.

(4) For the writing sample we ask that you submit a 500 word essay on why you would like to article at Pivot and your interest in social justice work.

If you have any questions about Pivot's articling program please contact Michaela Montaner at mmontaner[at]pivotlegal.com or Laura Track at ltrack[at]pivotlegal.com.
