u/K-Wyled

I'm entering 3L and currently looking through the MAG articling postings trying to get a realistic sense of workload across the different offices before I put together an application list.

I've done my research on the practice areas and have a decent handle on what each branch actually does, but what I can't figure out from the official descriptions nor online forums, is what the day-to-day actually looks like hour wise. I've seen it mentioned a time or two that offices vary wildly (some are standard 8 hours, others regularly run way past that).

Would anyone who has articled at MAG (or knows someone who has) care to share their experience? Specifically curious about:

• Which offices tend to be more 9to5 vs those with demanding hours
• Whether workload differs significantly between the litigation offices vs. the ministry legal services branches
• Anything you wish you'd known beforehand

Happy to dm but just looking for somne insight. Thanks in advance.
