Viva Voce

Daniel jumps into the pressure cooker known as the Course aux stages, the regulated process by which ambitious law students do their best to secure articling positions at prestigious firms across Quebec. Daniel interviews a second-year McGill Law student, Elisabeth Novak, a third-year University of Montreal student, Hanane Loumi, and his own articling student, David Chun, and gets them to share their hopes, fears, backgrounds and what they hope to get out of a career in law. Key lessons about mentoring, intentions, stress management, career expectations and finding work-life balance are shared. Daniel also gives his views on what makes for the best candidates.
