Employment and Labour Law Students’ Society Blog

The Employment and Labour Law Students’ Society (“ELLSS”) will be holding its Annual ELLSS Career Fair on the evening of Wednesday, November 18^th.

The Career Fair is the biggest event on the University of Ottawa campus for law students interested in learning more about a career in labour and employment law.  Each year, the ELLSS brings together private and public sector lawyers representing both the management and employee sides. Following a short meet-and-greet, the main part of the event is a moderated panel of 4 speakers practicing in this field who provide information to students on possible career paths, what led them to this area of law, their personal experiences, a general overview of practicing in this field, job possibilities, even topical points of law. The panel discussion is followed by a catered reception attended by representatives from various law firms involved in labour and employment law.

The Career Fair enables law students to learn more about what this exciting area of law has to offer, and to have one-on-one discussions with speakers as well as the many firm representatives who attend the event to meet with students.

This year’s event is sponsored by Sherrard Kuzz LLP, Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP, and Emond Harnden LLP.  The panel will be comprised of the following speakers: Lorenzo Lisi (Sherrard Kuzz), Lise Leduc (Sack Goldblatt Mitchell), Raquel Chisholm (Emond Harnden), and Anne Clark-McMunagle (Senior Legal Counsel, Public Service Labour Relations Board).

If you would like to attend the event as a student or firm representative, please RSVP to executive@ellss.ca. Firm guests are welcome (and encouraged) to bring firm promotional materials as there will be space specifically for students to peruse these materials.
