HELPPPP TRU or UCALGARY
You're asking us to make the decision for you without telling us anything about who you are, where your family/support system is located, your finances, where you want to work when you graduate, what field of law interests you. Start there, and you'll likely get better responses. -

Try looking it up on Nalp, and assuming it's not there, trying looking up a comparable firm or two. -

How much funding is available for UAlberta students?
Can back up what Lilbb19 said for approximate bursary range. I got roughly $15k for 1L and 2L each. You don't get them right away in the Fall though, and I know more than one person who didn't get much or anything because they had too much in savings/earned too much the prior year/etc. They won't weigh a line of credit against you if you have one though. -

Do 2nd day OCI interviews mean the firm isn't that interested?
I have some interviews on Wendesday, the first day of OCI's for the Ottawa recruit. I have more on Thursday, the second day. I've heard that second day interviews means the firm isn't that high on you, or is that purely a scheduling decision? Have to determine whether to study as much for these second day interviews as I did for first day interviews. -

Toronto Summer Student Salary (Expected)
Hi everyone I was hoping to know what the summer salary is for second year law students in a a full service firm of approximately 15 lawyers/small size firm. Specifically, in Toronto and outside of Bay Street. If anyone has any knowledge based on their experience or a friend. Also any recommendations on how to negotiate your summer salary would be great. Thanks! -

We Are Public Sector Lawyers - Ask Us (Almost) Anything
To add onto this: you should be willing and open to working at other branches. If your goal is to work at MAG, this is the deal. Finding counsel positions at MAG is very difficult as a junior lawyer. You will compete with lawyers with years of experience under their belt. Interviews are substantive, and sometimes to a degree where unless you worked at that branch, you simply won't have the requisite knowledge to be successful. People do it. But you have to be very flexible with your ministry and practice area desires.- 1

JD/PhD Political Science joint degree program?
I know a few people in the JD/PhD in Philosophy and I'm accepted into the JD/PhD in Philosophy for the next year. I think the core idea of the JD/PhD is roughly the same for all programs at UofT. Feel free to dm if you have any questions. -

JD/PhD Political Science joint degree program?
I think doing this is really rare so you might not have any luck finding someone with experience on here. I know someone doing the Philosophy joint program, but don't know anyone doing this one. I recommend you email Assistant Dean Faherty (who is listed as the contact on the program page) and see if she can arrange for you to contact an alumni, current student, or the faculty advisor for the program. -

Clerkship Interviews 2024-2025
I spoke to one of the professors sitting on the SCC clerkship committee of a [law school in Western Canada], and they have not heard of a single invitation being received. Seems highly unlikely that not a single applicant from this school would receive an interview. Combine that with the fact that it is Sunday and no one has posted about receiving an SCC interview, and it seems extremely unlikely that offers went out Friday afternoon. So keep those fingers crossed! Sending you all good vibes.- 2
