GENUINE ARTICLE: The First Trial

For three days in November the fiercest competition in the Canadian legal profession rages not in the courtrooms, but in the towers of Canada’s financial heart on Bay Street. The prize is not winning a case, but winning law student interns. And, for both the firms and students, the stakes are as high as they get. For the first time ever, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the legal profession’s unique and dramatic recruitment system. This is GENUINE ARTICAL: The First Trial.
