For most law students, the prospect of securing a clerkship in Canada’s court system is something to strive for. During a clerkship, selected law students are placed with one or more supervising judges for the unique opportunity to experience the trial process first-hand, to work closely with judicial officials, and to substantively engage in a myriad of legal issues.

This year, Windsor Law’s Career Services Office reports that nine law students have obtained clerkships, including:

• Samuel Mazzuca – Court of Appeal for Ontario
• Ramisha Farooq – Federal Court of Canada
• Natasha Daley – Superior Court of Justice, Central West Region
• Andrea Bracaglia – Superior Court of Justice, Southwest Region
• Roxana Jahani Aval – Superior Court of Justice, Central East Region
• Ashley Ash – Superior Court of Justice, Toronto
• Leslie Schumacher – Superior Court of Justice, Northeast Region
• Robin Goldberg – Superior Court of Justice, Central East Region
• Hannah Thackeray – Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court

“Windsor Law has always been strong at the clerkship level, but this year I think is especially impressive considering everything was processed remotely,” says director of career services Anna Maria Decia-Gualtieri. “I’m grateful to be working with such a great clerkship committee.”

Besides Decia-Gualtieri, current members of the clerkship committee include dean Christopher Waters and professors David Tanovich, Kristen Thomasen, and Richard Moon.
