I paid for the application and I got a email with confirmation, however when I try to get to the document tracker link, it keeps showing undergraduate admissions and when I click undergraduate application it just says personal information. - I really need help to get back to the document tracker!! Please help!!

Being in court is so different from being in a labour arbitration. My goto was "This is totally new to me. I'm going to need a break." I guess that's the difference when you are the decision-maker's client as well as a party (to be fair, the union is in the same position).

There are some key phrases all counsel need to know to get out of a tight spot. "Your Honour, I wonder if we might stand down briefly so I can seek instructions from my client." "Your Honour, I hadn't turned my mind to this issue and I would like the opportunity to consult senior counsel regarding next steps." "Your Honour, I note the time and would appreciate an early break so I might better prepare for the _________ [ cross examination / submissions / reply]." "Your Honour, with my apologies, I did not anticipate this particular argument and would like to review the caselaw before going any further. Perhaps I might have a half hour / half day / an early lunch break ?"  Now, only use these when you have to. It's not a good look if you didn't do the necessary preparation and didn't research the law ahead of time. A young Crown who got Charter Notice had better be ready with the case authorities and applicable tests on hand. A young defence had better know how their client's statement to the police can and cannot be used against them at trial. These things you see miles down the road and not being ready will anger the judge. But if all of a sudden opposing counsel brings up some argument or consideration that hasn't been brought up previously, and you're new at this, flag it for the record and get yourself prepped before opening your mouth. If the judge makes you go ahead anyway and it explodes your case, you've preserved the record for a possible appeal. But most judges have no interest in doing that. 

thanks so much for replying! does it make any difference that my L2 is 3.88 in terms of Western, Queens, and OZ? 

After two back-to-back absolutely batshit self-rep trials today I can't second this enough right now. haha

WiseGhost is right, and there are many more options for civil law graduates to receive a JD/LLB after completing their civil law degree.  Off the top of my head, these schools have one-year programs to upgrade a civil law degree into a JD/LLB: - Dalhousie - Université de Moncton - UOttawa (Their 1-year national program lets a common law graduate upgrade to civil law and vice versa) - UVic To answer your original question, I'd opt for deleting the 156 from your record. If you're gunning for McGill it lowers your candidature as a whole.

Thanks everyone. This is making more sense to me now. I think I need to throw my academic hat out the window for a minute....its been a long time since I've written a personal essay. It feels very unnatural at this moment but these points help.
