Sachez que le CDP doit approuver toutes les offres d’emploi avant publication. Les affichages par des recruteurs tiers ne sont pas autorisés s’ils ne mentionnent pas le nom de l’employeur pour lesquels ils recrutent. All postings must conform with the McGill policy on unpaid internships: we will only allow postings for positions that are unpaid or that pay less than minimum wage for not-for-profit organizations.

If you have any trouble posting a position, please write us at cdo.law [at] mcgill.ca.

Organized Recruitment Processes

We send invitations to our Toronto and New York/US OCIs in May. To receive an invitation, please email cdo.law [at] mcgill.ca.

McGill and the Ontario law schools take turns organizing OCIs for Vancouver and Calgary employers in Toronto each September. If your firm would like to participate, please cdo.law [at] mcgill.ca (email us) or any of the participating law schools.

For information about organized recruitment in any other market, or in the above markets outside the OCI processes, please cdo.law [at] mcgill.ca (email us). If you would like to post a position, you can do so in the 12Twenty portal.
