The articling plan is a statement of the goals of the Principal and the Student-at Law for the student’s articles, on the understanding that the articling student’s articling experience may vary in detail although not in substance, depending upon the available casework and operational requirements of the Principal, and other unforeseen factors.
Rotations
If the student-at-law’s articling plan includes a rotation with different legal organisations or departments, the respective principals should endeavour to ensure a complete and varied articling experience. That is, if several articling competencies were not applicable to the context of one rotation it may be appropriate to consider ensuring they are the focus of another.
