Vancouver Island - criminal law

[Hegdis]

Some one on the Island reached out to me today about a job for a new / junior Call. NOT an articling position.

Criminal law only. Would mean relocating to the island if you aren't already there.

 

If anyone is seriously interested, send me a PM.

Sigh. I could really use a change of scene, and the island sounds nice. But criminal law is not really my thing.

The Island really is a paradise. Lots of people making the move.

I dunno about criminal law not being your thing... dealing with individuals who has behaved badly and negotiating the fallout IS sort of in your wheelhouse, isn't it?

Just do what the other city slickers do and summer in PEC. It's...technically an island (since 1889).

Yeah, but I'm not prepared to have someone's freedom in my hands...

I did touch on some criminal law previously, and it really wasn't my thing.

I could probably find an employment lawyer gig in BC if I was really serious. I could probably even convince my boss to let me move there, though the time zone would be an issue.

We do rent cottages every summer (the last thing I'd want to do is own one) and we like PEC, but it's a little overpriced.

Does a canal create an island? If so, most of downtown Ottawa is an island too.

Well, if we want to be maximally reductive, I guess mainland North/Central America is an island to the Panama Canal.

Yes, PEC is ridiculously priced these days.

I am not extremely price sensitive, but we rented an apartment about 100 metres from the Mediterranean Sea in June/July, and a cottage about 100 metres from Georgian Bay in August, and the Georgian Bay one was almost twice as expensive per night. And that's probably 50% less than something in PEC.

I highly recommend the maritimes. Rent a super nice cottage in walking distance to a beach at a budget price.  Spend the savings on daily lobster/scallop binges.
