"My summer experience at Neinstein was unparalleled because of the practical hands on experience. Not only was I responsible for going to court for motions, but all the lawyers repeatedly included me in their practice which gave me the opportunity to see how my assignments were applied in practice. For example, from writing the mediation briefs to attending the mediation to see the file settle; researching the issues that I watched be examined in a discovery; or listening to new clients tell their stories and then drafting their Statement of Claim. It was a fantastic experience and I felt involved in every step along the way!"
