LESA is now hiring to fill Summer Student positions. If you’re a student who has completed at least 1 year of law school, you could become part of an innovative and dynamic organization that makes a meaningful contribution to the legal profession.
Our mission at LESA is to serve the spectrum of educational and professional development needs of Alberta’s lawyers, articling students, and their staff. By joining our team, you’ll partner with us in our efforts to provide high-quality resources to the legal community. You’ll also gain experience and knowledge in the key areas of the law and hone the writing and research skills that are critical to success in a legal career.
Summer students are responsible for assisting the Legal team with legal research, writing, and review. They also help bring a valuable student perspective to our organization by assisting in updating resources for use by articling students, lawyers, and their staff. Research may be required to update existing legal content for both print publications and online resources.
Specific tasks may include:
- Reviewing and editing publication submissions,
- Researching and noting up case and statutory law for publications including practice manuals and foundational materials,
- Writing blog posts on recent legal developments (your writing could be featured here!),
- Assisting in the development of online courses, and
- Working to develop the online library (wiki).
If you’re interested in joining our LESA team, please apply by email to Daniel GarcÃa at [email protected]. Competition closes March 13, 2015.
