Application Tips

What should your application look like?

Here is what your application should include, and some helpful hints:

Include	Hint
Resume	No longer than 2 pages List interests that you want to talk about in your interview Ensure the information is current
References	References are more likely to be read if they are from someone we can identify References from someone who is obviously a family member you worked for last summer are not impressive Don't get a reference from a famous professor if he or she does not really know you
Transcripts	You must include them and ensure they are current Summarize your marks on an attached sheet to make them easier to read Include your undergraduate transcripts Include a list of the courses you are going to take next year
Cover Letter	If you know who we are, let us know. A letter that shows you have looked into the firm will always get the reader's attention. If you are taking a special course which is not in an area which we practice, i.e. the Criminal Intensive Program at Osgoode Hall, address it in your letter or we may assume you are not really interested in us
Interview Week	Plan to visit the firms you are interested in on Monday or early Tuesday

Before the interview week, can I come for a tour, visit, coffee...anything?

Minden Gross LLP is offering firm tours for students who will be participating in the fall recruitment process for summer positions.

This is a great opportunity to tour our offices and meet with our lawyers, students and staff. And, we'll provide lunch to boot!

We offer firm tours in August prior to the summer student recruitment process.
