I interviewed with a lawyer from a small Montreal law firm today. I arrived around 10:30 am and when I met the lawyer she rescheduled our meeting for 3:30pm, she had a very important transaction to complete. She insisted that I return today for she wanted to make a decision very soon. I returned at 3:30, only to wait until about 4:00, the view overlooked Mont-Royal and McGill University so I didn’t mind. I then had a half hour to convince this lawyer to hire me over the summer. We both had similar backgrounds in political science and interests in international relations and international criminal law. She was also interested in my journalism background and excited to know that I received a High Pass on my Factum and moot last semester. I must keep note of these reactions.

Working at this firm would mean conducting research on a case that is going to the Supreme Court of Canada. The prospect of being involved on such a project is very enticing. My fingers are crossed! I should find out within the next two days…
