I helped CLASP develop its new Family Law Program and assisted Supervising Counsel manage, train and mentor new students.I also undertook full carriage of complex family law files, where I: • Conducted client interviews, performed legal research, provided summary advice and communicated with opposing counsel• Utilized DivorceMate to draft family court forms• Participated in alternative dispute resolution processes

I assisted self represented litigants draft and file court documents at the Ontario Court of Justice under the supervision of Duty Counsel.

I conducted research in International and Comparative Family Law for Professor Kierstead's course at Monash University. As part of my research, I utilized international legal databases to access case law and legislation. I created teaching aids by consolidating articles and preparing case summaries.
