So, just a jargon note, but "IP" includes both copyright work and patent work. I'm assuming based on your reference to STEM you're looking for patent work. In that case it depend on what letter of STEM your background is. With competitive law school grades and an engineering undergrad, you should be able to get interviews for patent work. I had a friend with a software engineering undergraduate who landed in Calgary on the patent agent track (although she's since moved on). For science degrees, it usually requires more than an undergraduate degree; often it requires a PhD. I don't have any idea on tech or math degrees. You can browse the lawyers at an IP boutique (for example, Smart & Biggar) to see their undergraduates and get a sense. For copyright work, obviously a STEM background is not particularly helpful (although I wouldn't say it hurts). Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the IP hiring, so I don't know whether there are hiring preferences for USask vs UCalgary vs Dalhousie. For Calgary big law you wouldn't lose anything going to USask over Dal. -

Take the easiest electives possible, I loaded up on electives in my third year to get the highest cgpa possible and was accepted with only 90 credits. the class you take or even your major will not matter -

Hi everyone, Any interview tips for how to prepare for interviews with the MAG for crown attorney articling positions? Reading materials? Types of questions ? Thank you! -

I do not generally disagree with the cynical sentiment; but if you look at the decisions of the Tribunal, a good chunk are "current character" denials for contexts and reasons very relevant to OP. It would not be wise to proceed without recognizing that there may be a big (more like gigantic) pain in the ass at the end of law school. OP should be aware and prepare themselves accordingly. -

Honestly you are right, but closing doors is so hard for me because I genuinely have interest in both and have done research/work in both. On top of that, giving up offers to law school for a chance at med seems naive to me. I do want the option of calgary biglaw open, and the other thing that’s swaying me towards UofS is the COL. My GPA was calculated really not in my favor for UofC (administrative stuff) but with my gpa now, i’m above competitive, which is why I felt somewhat confident regarding the whole transfer thing. Regarding the IP course offerings, given a background in STEM could I still pursue IP jobs as a UofS/UofC grad? What opportunities would I lose going to UofS versus Dal considering I want to keep biglaw (including environmental and IP) work open? Ideal career path as a lawyer is biglaw 2-3 years to in-house or an IP/Environmental Boutique in Calgary. Thank you for your advice, you breaking it down into the decision tree was very helpful.
