The Associate Level Program consists of four courses: Litigation, Corporate, Real Estate and Estates. The program is designed to enhance the education and skills of law clerks already in the profession, expand the knowledge of experienced legal assistants and provide the basic academic foundation needed for people with legal experience planning a career as a Law Clerk. These courses are designed to prepare students to write The Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario's Provincial Examinations. The exams are worth 100 % of your course mark and are written online.
