Employment
Leading law offices from Canada (particularly Montreal and Toronto, but also Vancouver and other cities), the U.S. (primarily New York and Boston), and Europe (particularly London and Paris), and Asia (particularly Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing,) employ many McGill law graduates.
Beginning in 2005, McGill was one of a handful of leading law faculties (including Columbia, Geneva, Harvard, Michigan, New York University, Strasbourg, University of Toronto and Yale) to be invited by the International Court of Justice to supply clerks to the Judges.
Since most students are fluent in both English and French, and receive a uniquely transsystemic legal education, they are highly successful as candidates for clerkships at the bilingual and bijuridical Supreme Court of Canada. Seven students were selected to serve as Supreme Court of Canada Clerks in 2001-2, three in 2002-3, six in 2003-4, five in 2004-5, eight in both 2005-6 and 2006-7, six in 2007-8, five in 2008-2009, six in 2009-2010, five in 2010-2011, seven in 2011-2012, and six in 2012-2013; there are only 27 such clerkships offered each year. McGill students also gain clerkships at Courts of Appeal across Canada and in foreign courts, for example the Supreme Court of Israel.

Famous quotes containing the word employment:
“What most clearly characterizes true freedom and its true employment is its misemployment.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“What exercise is to the body, employment is to the mind and morals.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
