EDITORIAL
A Befitting Career
IN THIS OUR ANNUAL STUDENT recruitment issue we include articles setting
out summering and articling best practices and career advice (p. 46); and we take a
closer look at the Art of the Deal (p. 32), and the Art of the Case (p. 40). We know
we are only scratching the surface on the career advice pieces, but hope they help
summer and articling students begin their journeys. Hopefully, the direction those
journeys eventually take will be into legal or alternative careers in which new law-
yers find an element of Art that is motivating and inspiring.
All the way through school, students are generally encouraged to follow their
intellectual aptitudes. Indeed, that kind of orienteering led many students to law
school. is makes good sense but it can bump into a roadblock when school gives
way to career. Of course, new lawyers need the appropriate intellectual aptitudes
for the roles they find themselves in, but they also need to find work that suits their
personalities. And for those for whom law is a first career, finding that fit can some-
times mean one or more detours. While this can be daunting, there are mentors out
there with whom to discuss this issue. Students might be surprised to find out just
how many detours some of their mentors took as well.
