This week Julie talks to our three graduating research assistants about what they've learned working for NSRLP, and how it will affect their legal careers.
Lidia Imbrogno has worked for NSRLP throughout her law school career, on a multitude of different projects; most recently she has developed and expertly managed the Case Law Database project and team. Lidia will be articling at Willis Business Law in Windsor.
Becky Robinet has worked for NSRLP since her 2L year, on the Legal Coaching Project, and the Transcripts Project, and has taken on the vast responsibility of responding to SRL enquiries, with great empathy. Becky will be articling at Miller Canfield in Windsor.
Sandra Shushani has also worked for NSRLP since her 2L year, providing meticulous research and writing for the Case Law Database, and assisting Lidia in managing that ever-growing team. Sandra will be articling at the City of Windsor.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank the University of Windsor Law School, and the Law Foundation of Ontario, for funding our research assistant program at the NSRLP. The efforts of these wonderful students are integral to the work we do, and we are grateful for this financial support.
In other news: Canadian Lawyer Magazine takes an intelligent look at the controversy surrounding the expanding role of paralegals in family law matters in Ontario; and Julie was interviewed by Michael Enright on CBC’s Sunday Edition last weekend about the SRL crisis – why it’s happening, what the response has been from the profession, and what it takes to address the issues.
