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. -

Admitted - 2025
Congratulations!!! Did they call you? or send an email? I am still waiting. Do you know if they send R emails out? -

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

Looking for a Roomate
I am an upper-year Allard student, looking to sublet 1 room in my 2-bedroom 1-bathroom (and in unit laundry) Kitsilano apartment. My current roommate is finishing her degree this year and thus moving out. I am looking to sublet the room for a 1-year term from May 15th 2025 to May 15th 2026. The apartment is located 30 minutes from Allard by bus. I would prefer to live with another woman but would be open otherwise. If you are interested, send me a message and I will provide more details! 😊
