Do Windsor grads struggle with articles/employment?

Hey everyone! I've found some conflicting information on this forum regarding articling placement and employment of Windsor grads, with some people saying that the kind of school you got to does not matter and others saying that Windsor and Bora Laskin graduates struggle to secure articling positions. I know that Windsor is a social-justice focused school and does worse in terms of big law placements than other schools in Ontario but is it really that much worse than other schools?

 

P.S. I recently got accepted at Windsor. I am not focused on big law but would like to know what my general employment prospects are as a potential future Windsor graduate.

I don't think anyone's saying (or at least they shouldn't be saying) that you'll struggle to find an articling position as a Windsor grad. I believe they, like all Canadian schools, have a very strong articling rate. 

Might your options be somewhat limited, in some areas? Sure. As you've identified big law and clerkships are two areas where you will have lowered odds of success. Certian boutique firms in other areas may also recurit more from other schools. Doesn't mean you're locked out, just means the odds are different.

But that is just a tiny slice of legal oppertunites and I suspect you'll find very few Windsor graduates who didn't secure a articling jobs.
