LOR advice for osgoode

[legallyeli]

Hello!
I'm looking for advice regarding my letters of recommendation for my application this fall.

I'm worried about the redundancy of submitting two academic LORs. I was hoping to submit one academic and one non-academic from a probation officer I worked with when I worked at the Ministry of the Solicitor General's office.

Should I play it safe and just submit two academic LORs or go with the scenario above^?

Thank you in advance!

There is no "best" scenario here. Pick references that know you well since they will be able to speak personally to your abilities as a future law student.

For context, my references were both academic and I got in just fine. If the references at the above placements don't know you very well, it likely won't amount to a great reference letter. If your professors that write your reference letters don't know you well you'll also have the same issue.

Submit a non-academic reference letter if you have relevant work experience
