This is the sixth in a series about information that Articling Students and new Associates should have before deciding to stay at a firm for the long-term.
Today it is about some of my favourite people in law firms – the Law Clerks (“LC”) (aka Paralegals).
During my career, I was fortunate to work with three phenomenal law clerks. I trained two of them. The third was trained on Bay Street. Each of them was exceptional because they were intelligent, capable, motivated, well-trained, and empowered.
Rarely accused of being overly immodest, I will take credit for empowering them.
How good were they?
