Summer fellowships
In addition to our summer law student positions, we also offer the following summer fellowships.
- Our Douglas Knowles, QC, Annual Internship in Insolvency Law is open to first- and second-year law students attending the University of British Columbia. The first half of the summer will be spent working as a summer articling student with the downtown Vancouver office of Dentons and the second half of the summer will be spent conducting insolvency-related research with our lawyers practising in this area.
- Our UVic and TRU Fellowship position is open to first-year law students attending the University of Victoria and Thompson Rivers University in alternating years (TRU in 2022, UVic in 2023, and so on). The first half of the summer will be spent working as a summer articling student with the downtown Vancouver office of Dentons and the second half of the summer will be spent assisting a University of Victoria/Thompson Rivers University law professor with a research project. Sometimes this second portion of the summer is based in Victoria/Kamloops and sometimes the research may be done from our offices in Vancouver, depending on the professor’s preferences.
Further details about the programs, including details of the application process, are available through the university career services office.
