Generally, we hire six to eight summer students every year.
We will be hiring summer students for summer 2027 in accordance with the Vancouver Bar Association Guidelines. Applications for summer positions generally open in early June. The VBA deadline for summer student applications is typically at the end of August of each year, though there may be separate deadlines for each school. On-campus interviews (“OCIs”) will occur throughout September. Please speak with your Career Services Officer to determine the OCI date and application deadline for your school. We plan to participate in OCIs for most Canadian Schools.
We anticipate interview week to begin Monday, October 19, 2026. We currently expect in-firm interviews will be conducted in-person.
To apply for our summer student program, please direct your cover letter, resume, a copy of your law school transcript, and your undergraduate marks to the attention of Christine York, Director of Associate + Student Programs. You may also include reference letters, and a list of law courses you intend to take, although these are not required. To ensure your application is not missed, we ask that you submit your application within timeline provided by the VBA guidelines.
We encourage you to submit your application through the online portal, vilawportal.com. We also accept applications through mail or e-mail.
