An assignment of articling placement occurs when you permanently transfer to another approved articling principal during the term.
To receive credit with the first Principal, a
Certificate of Service must filed and the
record of experiential training must be filed by both you and your principal.
If a placement is assigned the very next business day, the
Assignment of Articles form will be filed. If more than 1 business day elapses before you begin articling for the new principal, then you must file a new
Articles of Clerkship form for this new principal.
The assigned Principal must file the
experiential training plan within 10 business days of the candidate’s start date.
If the placement is with two or more firms, either consecutively or concurrently, the issue of conflicts of interest must be addressed. Please refer to the
Rules of Professional Conduct on Conflicts from Transfer between Law Firms.
