Last year SCC and ONCA interviews both went out Feb 4th for a last week of February interview. For BCCA, not sure about last year but the year before I believe it was the last week of January that interviews went out. -

My friend from high school has been wanting to go to law school for the past 4 years but doesn’t because he spent 2 years in prison. He wrote the lsat and got 171, got into 2 law schools he applied to but decided not to attend yet. He told me he looked up cases and said generally, when they did something serious it typically took about 8 years after the fact to start considering the person to be of good character, that’s when the person was forthright and took responsibility. It’s a lot of money to spend with the lingering fear of being rejected so be careful and wait for the right time. edit: wanted to add he got out about four years ago, so his plan is to wait another year and then go to law school so he finishes his articling around 9 years after he was released. -

Thanks for the input @Chewy! Will take note of it! -

That's a one-liner that'll get you appreciation from anyone who's already had a few drinks at a cocktail party and knows nothing about the practice of law. But to anyone who actually functions in the system, it's about as funny (and clever) as "aren't all cops racists?" and "aren't all cheerleaders sort of strippers-in-training?" Every one of those lines gestures broadly at an idea that could possibly relate somehow to a valid point in some sense. But as a contained statement, all it actually says is that you don't know what the hell you're talking about. I make that point because while it's forgivable for someone to leave that impression about a field they are not part of, if you drop that line as a law student you've got to ask yourself what audience you think you're ingratiating yourself to, by demonstrating you are completely clueless about your own chosen field of work. Just...don't. P.S. To answer the OP, it's uncontroversial to note that a criminal record is not, of itself, any kind of automatic disqualification. But certainly a record could cause problems. If you have concerns beyond that, you'll want to see qualified legal advice. -

Aren't all lawyers criminals in at least some sense? 😛 -

Why did you remind me of that. I'd almost convinced myself that semester was a bad dream.
