Harrison Pensa hires four to eight students during the Summer Law Student application process based on guidelines established by the Law Society of Ontario. Students applying for positions should include the following:

  • Covering letter
  • Résumé
  • Copy of your undergraduate transcript and your law school transcript to date, as well as your graduate transcript, if applicable. (If the timing of release of marks at your law school is such that your transcript will not reflect your most recent grades, please feel free to provide an unofficial record about those grades that is available from your law school
  • List of the law school courses in which you are enrolled, or in which you anticipate enrolling, in your third year.
  • Reference letters are not required but are welcome.

Summer Law Students receive a weekly salary of $800.

Each student receives one-on-one onboarding with a Learning and Development Coordinator to become familiar with our IT systems, training to use legal research software, and access to Middlesex Law Association and Western Law libraries. HP University is a series of sessions to introduce students to different practice areas, what to expect during discoveries, and other topics.

Harrison Pensa gives students and lawyers a competitive advantage with advanced technology for legal research and workflow management. We maintain high standards for data security training and operational excellence as part of our commitment to the security and privacy of sensitive data.

Throughout the year, we host social events, celebrations in our spacious mezzanine-level lunchroom, professional development and networking opportunities, and a listening ear when students propose initiatives that they’d like to offer. Join sports groups or get involved in community service. Well-being is a priority with access to a Multi Faith Prayer and Contemplation Room, and open invitations to weekly informal gatherings to catch up and unwind.
