Career Day for foreign-trained lawyers

Career Day for foreign-trained lawyers

The University of Toronto Faculty of Law recently held a “Career Day” for foreign-trained lawyers enrolled in its Internationally Trained Lawyers Program. The first and only one of its kind in Canada, the 10-month intensive program is designed to provide academic and professional career support to foreign-trained lawyers working towards obtaining their licence to practice law in Ontario. Taking part as presenters in the informal panel discussion were Paul Saguil, Archana Medhekar, Shedrack Agbakwa and Manjeet Kaur. Abner Gener of Abelaw LLP joined the presenters in discussing career moves and private practice options with attendees during the networking session that followed.
