UNB vs Windsor Dual?
These are my two options at the moment. I am waitlisted for Windsor single and I have yet to hear back from Queens, Ottawa and TRU. Ideally I would like to practice personal injury law in Ontario (where I am from). Windsor is close to home for me however the price of the dual program is astronomical. If I chose UNB, would I have a good chance of being able to article/practice in Ontario? I am also scared that the tariffs being imposed will make the toll fee higher/tuition on the American side more but I do not want to jeopardize my changes of making it back to Ontario. Any insight is appreciated! -

Toronto Big Law Hireback 2025
Forgive me if this question seems naive. Aside from the obvious gut punch of not getting hired back, how fatal is it to not get hired back after articles? Is it similar to failing the 2L recruit insofar as you will struggle to land a Big Law job until you’re 2-3 years out? -

Admitted - 2025
Thank you! Yes, got a call (shoutout to the woman who called me, she was a gem but I didn't catch her name because my heart was pounding in my ears!) and then an email. I think they do send rejection emails out as they don't have a login portal until you're admitted, from what I know. -

Got accepted to Dual today, waitlisted for single back in March. not great stats so glad to be accepted, but still really hoping for single (cause the price of dual is crazy!) cGPA 3.6, LSAT 150, great work experience in government office, solid LORs, worked throughout all of undergrad in retail jobs, decent ECs took the April LSAT and waiting on score. Not feeling super confident about it though. -

Any interesting programs of study for a lawyer?
I strongly recommend going for Osgoode's online LLM program before considering non-Canadian options. If for no other reason than you'd be studying Canadian law. -

Toronto Big Law Hireback 2025
My information indicates firm sloppiness led to the list being made available to students when not intended. The firm then immediately moved up the "decision day" individual meetings to be able to touch base directly (as students talked and became aware of whether or not they were getting tossed). Anyone from Fasken (or with friends there): feel free to DM me if you can confirm or deny or add further details (will respect requests for anonymity and only share details you permit) or feel free to comment directly in this thread. -

Any interesting programs of study for a lawyer?
That’s awesome that your employer supports your education! Since you’re looking for 100% online programs, I’d suggest checking out online LL.M. programs offered by schools like University of Edinburgh or Boston University School of Law — both offer fully online options. If you're interested in something outside of traditional law departments, you might also consider certificates in business law, insurance law, or even corporate governance. These could complement your background in administration, insurance, and labor, and be a great addition to your legal expertise. -

Toronto Big Law Hireback 2025
I am told some students at Fasken gained early access to their hireback list and the firm accelerated decision release as a result. I am also told the result was "bad". Anyone care to confirm or deny?- 1
