Articling at Bell, Temple is a great way to prepare for a litigation career. Do not, however, take our word alone.  Here are what a few of our former articling students had to say about their time with us:

"Bell, Temple provided me with an intensive litigation experience that helped me develop my skills as an advocate. Not only did my articling term include frequent attendances for motions and pre-trial conferences, but I also had carriage of my own files from their initial stages through to final resolution by trial or negotiated settlement."
Derek Abreu - 2002

"My articling experience at Bell, Temple was far from an extension of law school - it really taught me how to be a litigator. Bell, Temple provided me with experience in Courts all over the region where I got the chance to learn through arguing real motions before Masters and Judges. All this, plus my experience with Bell, Temple clients gave me a true taste of what civil litigation really is."
Anthony Mancuso - 2003

"Articling at Bell, Temple provided me with an excellent introduction to the world of litigation. From my first day, I had carriage of several files and regularly attended in Court. The 'door is always open' atmosphere gave me the opportunity to learn a great deal from experienced lawyers who were always willing to answer my infinite number of questions."
Elissa Boyle - 2005 

"Articling at Bell, Temple is an excellent way to become a confident and skilled lawyer. I was constantly challenged to develop my written and oral communication skills while also learning strategies for effectively resolving files.  The support network of a personal Mentor, combined with a strong group of experienced litigators, meant that I was always able to find an answer to my questions.  I would strongly recommend the firm to any student interested in civil litigation."
