Possible Articling Position for Right now August 2017

Posted on August 4, 2017 by Anita Szigeti

We are thinking of taking on a student again – asap.
It’s a barely paid position.
On the upside we do amazing work.
What we need is someone obsessed with mental health law.
Dark sense of humour.
Very smart.
Jays fan, not bandwagon.
These are tough times for the boys, but we still go to games.
That’s about it.
Expressions of interest to be emailed ONLY to Joe at joe@asabarristers.com with a copy to leanne@asabarristers.com.
