Their attorneys cater for problems notwithstanding any geographical location.

This program provides an opportunity for students considering law school to work within a law firm, to observe what lawyers actually do in their daily activities, and to perform a variety of tasks that will help them determine if they have the desire, capabilities, and temperament that it takes to be a lawyer.

The specific tasks that students will perform will be worked out between the firm and the student and they will vary depending upon the student’s abilities and previous experience, and the student’s performance. These tasks may, however, range from copying and filing to doing basic legal research, assisting in the interviewing of clients, and assisting in the lawyer’s courtroom preparations and duties.
