This clerkship program has been in operation since 1995. 46 The clerks are overseen by a clerkship program coordinator, who is also a research lawyer. The clerkship program coordinator oversees the clerk selection process, organizes clerk training and provides research support to the clerks. The Court also employs seven other lawyers (five in Montreal and two in Quebec City) to assist with procedural matters. They provide information to lawyers and unrepresented litigants regarding court rules and procedure. They also prepare files for mediation and, to that end, prepare summaries of those cases. G.
