From our Litigation Department

  Before the troubles of Covid-19 I enjoyed meeting the new candidate attorneys that have just joined the firms here in my area and seeing how they go about their business at Court and hearing what they had to say at our Attorneys' Circle meetings. Up to now, however, I have had little time and chance to do so. Since I have joined my current firm, however, I was once again reminded of what a new and exciting time serving articles is in any candidate's life. This post is for you who have just begun looking for employment as a Candidate Attorney or who has already entered into a contract with a firm. Sit down a bit and listen. This old-timer has some pointers for the road ahead... You see- those 4 (or in some cases more...) years that you have spent at University have not prepared you for the work that you are about to do. You will soon understand why you are required to undergo that Practical Legal Training and trust me- you will in due course appreciate the Practice Management...
