COURSE DESCRIPTION

A maximum of 11 clerkships will be available: 9 for the Alberta Court of Justice and 2 for the Court of Appeal. 

Clerks should expect to spend 6-8 hours per week at the Law Courts. 

Students should be available to attend the Court of Appeal for a full morning every Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of the academic year. 

METHOD OF SELECTION

Application only. There is no interview process. 

Clerkships are awarded and registration is available only to students selected by the Vice Dean. To apply for a clerkship, a student must submit the following to the Experiential Learning site Google form (follow the APPLY button below): a letter of interest addressed to the Vice Dean, your curriculum vitae, and an unofficial transcript of law school grades including your Winter 2026 grades. Do not submit your application until your Winter term grades are available. Reference letters are not necessary. There is no interview process. 

The letter of interest should indicate the Court(s) in which an applicant would like to work. Successful applicants may be appointed to a Court other than a preferred Court. Selection is made based on grades and an expressed interest in litigation. Preference may be given to students who have completed the equivalent of four terms in the J.D. program. Students will be advised by email of the disposition of their applications.
