Everything you need to know to succeed, but they didn’t teach you in law school

 

Eight months. That’s an articling student's window of opportunity to prove their value to their principal or firm. We invite all articling Students/Licensing Candidates to join us and learn how to succeed and lay the best foundations for a career as a lawyer.

 

The early years of a legal career can feel like a sprint with no finish line in sight. In this session, Safiyya Vankalwala, Communications Counsel at LAWPRO, offers a down-to-earth conversation about how to manage your time, your workload, and your mental health. Whether you are feeling burned out, struggling to stay organized, or just trying to keep your head above water, you'll walk away with practical tools and a bit of reassurance that you are not alone.
