Mintz Levin setting up shop in Toronto
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/us-law-firm-mintz-launches-canada-with-toronto-office-2023-03-20/&ved=2ahUKEwiN06Sr7_D9AhWHmmoFHcRhDJIQ0PADKAB6BAgHEAE&usg=AOvVaw01_c9sqfbJR-k8hn9M0UF8 Surprised this wasn't brought up already. What are your thoughts on this? Hopefully this starts a trend where more US firms set up shop and light a fire under Canadian big law's asses to keep up with comp to retain associates. -

Canadian Lawyers Going to the US?
For what it's worth it seems like it's going back to pre-pandemic levels of hiring where only mid to senior corporate associates of very specific targeted firms are lateraling to the US. -

Just how disqualifying is having a 'C' for top firms (2L recruit)?
Yea, it was supposed to be that all A's is universally good, all C's universally bad. -

Government Hire Back
For what it's worth, the few people I know who summered at a Crown's office were hired back as articling students at that same office. Unsure if they had to reapply during the articling recruit. -

Just how disqualifying is having a 'C' for top firms (2L recruit)?
Sorry didn’t mean to imply you needed all As to balance out a C. I just mean that they tend to want the top third of the class, and a C may impact OP’s chances of being in the top third Roasted however I will say because law school is such tight margins on As (at least at queens they can only give out a certain number) you could have a B and still have done great work… just one of your classmates had GREATER work -

Government Hire Back
Yeah I assumed this was the case. I'm hoping my 1L summer position will at least make it easier to get a MAG or other government position for 2L summer. -

What are the five best employment law boutiques in Toronto?
Why do you procure Hicks and Mathews over other boutiques, and what other firms you consider if they're conflicted? Thanks! -

Viewed negatively because if they have all A's they are obviously too smart to work in BigLaw for any meaningful length of time.- 1

Rejected 2023
Did you do your education only at Humber? Western does say this on their website. “College courses are not included in your GPA calculation for the purpose of law school admission at Western. Further, Western Law currently does not accept college study as eligible pre-law study for admission.” -

Just how disqualifying is having a 'C' for top firms (2L recruit)?
I thought it would be absurd to suggest that a transcript with all A's would reflect poorly/negatively, so assumed you meant all A's or/and all C's (either As or Cs and no other grade).
