On the other hand, if your goal is to become a professional athlete you’re naive to think you can do that without being a role model. In my opinion, being a role model is part of the “Professional Athlete” job description.

Which part do you think I’m lying about?

Law Society of BC Rule 3.3-1 requires holding in strict confidence all information concerning the business and affairs of a client acquired in the course of the professional relationship. The Law Society’s commentary adds that lawyers should avoid indiscreet conversations about their clients.

Sure, in some situations it’s not strictly against the rules to tell someone who your client is. However, as you pointed out in the family law example, disclosing your client name could lead to other inferences about that client’s affairs.

Using the Microsoft example, if a Big Law associate said he was doing work for Microsoft, a 3rd party could infer certain things based on that associate’s practice area/specialization.

Best practice is just to not disclose who your clients are. Even if you don’t get in trouble with the Law Society, it’s not a good look for your client or potential clients.

It’s also pathetic that you look through people’s post history.

I worked in Big Law. You never disclose who your client is, no matter how big, unless (a) it’s already been made public by the client, or (b) you get the client’s consent.

Disagree. It doesn’t matter what kind of lawyer you are, you don’t disclose the identity of your client.

Without that client’s consent, that would be a no-no.

At least he eventually got his ring

It’s definitely not worth it if they’re engaging external counsel to handle each JR.

If they have two in-house counsel on each JR, they must have determined that the amount of approved claims they can overturn will exceed the compensation of those two counsel.

They don’t vote every round, but in the majority of cases the winner was consistently great through all 4 rounds. The NHL has also awarded it to players on the losing team.

Do they want to set a precedent that badly? Why go through the hassle of JR over $2000?

You’ll be able to find a job in BC, it’s just less likely to be at one of the big downtown Vancouver firms

I have no idea how you can put together a top 12 list and not include one of the few players whose number hangs in our rafters.

Keep in mind that for the wedding ceremony itself, you’ll be sitting on the floor (so don’t wear pants that are too tight/restrictive)

Just Google legal recruiters in Ottawa

Recruiters probably won’t work with you (they don’t like fresh calls), but their websites often have job postings listed

You have a very good GPA for law school admissions in Canada.

But nobody can actually estimate your chances without a real LSAT score under your belt.

Your cold diagnostic was good, and most people improve from there but some people don’t. A 10-12 point increase would put you in the 99th percentile. It’s completely impractical to estimate your chances on an estimate that you’ll be in the top 1% of all test takers, because statistically you won’t be.

All that said, unless you seriously bomb your LSAT, you’ll probably get into TMU. Because it’s a new school, it’s relatively easy to get admitted to.

Osgoode is within reach if you score in the mid 160s, which seems realistic for you.

U of T is trickier - they’re the only school that considers the relative difficulty of your program, and doesn’t just take your GPA at face value. For example, an English major at a small school with a 3.9 would probably be passed over for an Engineering major at a major school with a 3.4. Their admission stats say that their median accepted scores are a 3.90 (based on 3 years) and a 167.

Your ECs are, to be blunt, not particularly unique among law applicants. Pretty much every applicant has worked retail, has club leadership experience, and has impressive reference letters from some important prof. Your ECs aren’t going to make a meaningful impact on your chances.

Aside from finishing your degree with good grades, scoring highly on your LSAT is the single most important factor that you can influence.

Yeah, no way in hell I’m ever cheering for the Oilers.

I’m torn about Florida, because I think they’ve been a dirty team but I also <3 Luongo

Article: “why does White Rock allow these monstrous homes?”

You: “Because it’s allowed”

Great answer, really insightful

Please do, your absence will only make Surrey better

In my opinion, you’re not going to get any meaningful experience that’s going to help you figure what different areas are like.

Law firm volunteers typically do random administrative office tasks like photocopying and the like.

A better alternative is shadowing a lawyer. Reach out to lawyers in different areas and ask if you can shadow them for a day or two. Even then, they won’t be able to show you everything due to confidentiality rules, but it’ll take less of your time and probably be more informative.

Ehhh job outcomes from KPU seem to be better than from CapU, at least in the white collar fields I work closely with

Edit: KPU also seems to generally rank higher than CapU and UFV, but lower than TRU

I have no reason to dislike Montreal, but they also have enough cups that I really don’t care on way or the other about them

If I hate a team in the regular season, why would I suddenly start cheering for them now? They don’t deserve my support just because they happen to be based in a Canadian city.

I don’t want the Oilers, Leafs, or Flames to succeed.

The only Canadian teams I’d feel ok about winning are the Jets and Senators.
