York University will have a new hands-on business law internship program for the university’s Osgoode Hall law students this year.

Canadian law firm McCarthy Tétrault LLP donated $150,000 to help create the program, which will be a joint initiative of Osgoode Hall Law School and the Schulich School of Business at York University. Up to five students a year will be placed in for-profit or not-for-profit organizations from May to August starting this year.
