  • Reflecting on the 2L Recruit
    Dec 23 2024

    On the last episode of Season 3 of Beyond the Briefcase, your hosts reflect upon the 2L recruit. Now with summer placements (and hopefully articles!) lined up, Sarah and Meg catch you up on their experiences with OCIs, Call Day, and Interview Week.

    Disclaimer: What Sarah and Meg say is wholly their personal opinions and experiences. By no means will this reflect your experience going through the 2L job recruit. As your hosts will share - no two experiences in the recruit are the same!


    Sarah and Meg predominantly participated in the Toronto private law firm recruit. They did not apply for positions in government, with fellowships and clinics, or out of province in Canada. Please speak to your career development office for insight and advice that will best anticipate and suit your concerns and intentions.


    This marks the end of Season 3. If you've made it this far, thank you so much for your support :)
