What Kind of Jobs to apply for Law School?


Savak

Recommended Posts

My wife is presently enrolled in York University's BA in Law & Society program. She has just one more year left before she graduates. The plan after that is to prepare, study for the LSAT exam and then to apply to Law School.

She is a passionate public speaker and has participated extensively in the Toast Masters Group. I was wondering what kind of jobs should she be looking to apply for based on her BA in Law & Society program? What kind of jobs will help her in her pursuit of Law and will help her tremendously with her Law School application?

The job she works from now until when she applies to law school will have virtually no impact on her application. If you have to ask, there's certainly no option available to her that will "help her tremendously."

Canadian law schools care more about GPA and LSAT than prior work experience, even the holistic ones. You can get into law school with a high GPA and LSAT but no work experience. For the purpose of practicing law, however, it is better to have work experience than none because a lot of skills are transferable (ex: customer service, writing, public speaking, file management, time management, using tech/software, etc.) and it is less stressful entering the profession with at least some of these skills under your belt than none at all.
