Articling Students

Thomson Rogers’ articling program best prepares students to become first-class advocates, future associates, and eventually partners with our firm. As an articling student, you will learn by doing. We believe in teaching you advocacy skills and allowing you to utilize these skills through practical and increasingly complex courtroom experiences.
