@"grace.tang.ca" said: @LSATisland , I'm going to be pursuing a combination of corporate, health and IP law Those are the areas of interest for me as a science and business major. The Law School I'll be attending has a patent clinic and healt…

Hi @"grace.tang.ca" I think most of the areas of law I can think of are practiced in Canada just like in the US, though your point re: size of Canadian market vs US is of course true. Is there a particular area of law that you're thinking of?
-
Unlikely Princeton Review has access to those, but I'm all for hoping.
-
Bumping this thread to the front as I'm on here again after a long time away and I would be happy to help anyone if I can.
-
No idea (though I'd imagine different) - but welcome!
-
Don't get too stressed out about reading prior to 1L. You'll have enough opportunity for that once school starts. Try to enjoy your pre-law school summer. Try to spend more time with friends and family - things will get busy at the beginning of 1…

Some of this stuff depends on each person and their particular skills - but for me I think I felt LR might have been slightly more difficult in earlier versions of the test.
-
I wouldn't visit a second time. You seem to have communicated your interest satisfactorily via visit and letter. I hope you get the decision you want.
-
If you have access to all I'd stick mostly with new material, though reusing PTs is still very helpful. As long as you are still going through the proper thought processes and techniques, you will still be sharpening your skills and the patterns wi…

Yes there is quite a range for 1L summer. While optimally you want to gain legal experience in your field of interest, many even try non-legal positions and some fill their summer with travel and other interesting things to speak of on interviews f…

I'm sorry to hear that - I hope the remainder of applications turn in your favour.

Take the leap and open it - hope it's good news

Law has general qualities but much depends on the area of law as well as the process adopted. Logical thinking certainly has its place and value, but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the specific designs of the LSAT as a paradigm to be re-encoun…

I believe there are some other test centres than U of T. I live in Toronto, too, and took mine about a half-hour drive out of the city. If you'd like to take it in June, I would apply and pursue alternative test centres if U of T is full.

@akeegs92 Sounds like a plan! I think you will find that most lawyers remember being law students themselves, and many will be generous with their time and advice. Also, I am sure that law school itself will help clarify your area of interest. …
-
@akeegs92 My pleasure! The specifics regarding how often they hire, etc. will likely depend on each market, so I'd recommend researching the particular area you're interested in. During my first year of law school, I was also interested in learnin…

I'll answer from the Canadian perspective, but much obtains across the border: There are in-house positions available for law school graduates ("articling students" in Canada). Often, you will see senior lawyers leaving a firm to go in-firm with a…

Hi @mk940808, Good luck! I'm sure you will be fine. I interviewed back in 2014. It was pleasant and it's over before you know it. Although my interview was 3 years ago, feel free to PM me if I can help with anything.

I received the following response when I emailed Columbia for a fee waiver in 2014. I was never notified of a fee waiver, but when I submitted my Columbia application via LSAC I saw that my application had been waived by Columbia (I didn't request …

Hi @legal_name If possible, perhaps consider keeping the basic parts of the current PS that reflect best and adding an element connected to what you did this past year.
-
@"Maxine Peskens" I wouldn't worry too much about this question, as schools are aware of the difficulty in predicting this. Just make a guess at what you think you would do, and - if answering yes - don't put too many hours.
-
Hi @HasaDigaLSAT I would postpone without wasting a take and having it on record. For replicating the actual test experience, you could take an administered test that is offered by schools and other organizations. Much of the anxiety of the act…

@szanelli Another fellow Ontario-ite! Welcome aboard!
-
My law school, like others, has all types of people and personalities and there are, of course, many different types of lawyers. Like anything, you'll find some jobs that are better suited for extroverts and some better for introverts. I wouldn't …
-
If you can get LSAC to share LoRs with OLSAS, consider going into international relations instead of law
-
Yeah, I found LSAC more efficient than OLSAS when I applied. (Btw, I think some Ontario schools don't ask for reference letters, so you could submit application to them, if still waiting for letters.)

No problem @cacrv567

Hi @cacrv567 Answer (A) posits that failing to do something one ought to do = failing to keep one's promise. This is not true and reverses the truth. Promises are a particular instance of something one ought to do. But there are many other thi…

@"Casey Bee" You might want to try asking on lawstudents.ca (I'll also check my school's CDO database to see if they have any relevant data.)

I missed this?
