The class profile is avalible on their website. Only 11% of this year's had a grad degree and I can't imagine that a huge number (anything close to a majority) are non K-JD. -

I've heard it stated that most of the people who've often been accepted into UofT Law usually aren't straight out of undergrad. They've either gone onto grad school or maybe gained experience working and stuff. That's just what I've heard from one person though, so I'm curious if it's true from your experience. Did you and many of the people you know come straight out of undergrad? -

Applied to UBC, UVic, UofC, Osgoode, Queens, and Ottawa. Also retaking LSAT in January. -

Yeah. I'd say the inverse is difficult, but this should be doable with even light networking. -
By Rashabon · Posted
This is true although there are also plenty of associates who either at the usual time (or ever) are just not prepared or ready to be partners at all, especially with partnership being more competitive in Canada, in which case the rise of the "Counsel" title allows them to stick around. But I do agree on the lateral point. I've seen very talented people whose business case is questioned at their current firm but are undeniably otherwise talented and who should be partners and sometimes they need a change of scenery to continue on the proper trajectory. -

I've worked at firms and government. You have busy times. You have slow times. It's honestly a culture thing more than a where you practice thing. I really recommend you switch employers. From the sounds of your practice area (sorry, but it's not difficult to guess with what you mentioned), you have your pick of options both in firms, government, and in-house. -

Thanks for the advice and input everyone. Absolutely - I am trying my best to make my lifestyle more family-friendly, but it's hard to pair with the expectation that I have excess time and flexibility. RE Q1. I think I would need to directly ask to access to any employment policy, although I doubt anything formal exists. RE Q2. That seems very obvious now that you say it. I suppose there is only one way to find out what their reaction will be. Better to find out sooner rather than later. Correct. The expectation is for the articling students that are hired back to simply keep working and gradually take on more serious work until called to the bar. Not sure how commonplace this is, but the technical 'end' of articling is basically disregarded. Thank you for the nightmare fuel...
