Hello everyone
I am starting this thread because I am looking for some advice.

I have received offers for the LLM program from Osgoode, UBC, UVic, U of Ottawa, U of Manitoba and U of T.

I am an internationally trained lawyer and I was wondering if an LLM from UofT would increase my chances of securing an articling position? (as comparred to an LL.M from some other School)

Any suggestions or additional information will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Same situation. However I think, for NCA purposes, Osgoode & UBC are better; career wise!
It's a hard choice; eating me alive actually!

Im from Canada and you can always do the UofT LLM & the NCA exams. I have friends who are in the UofT program where some of their classes cancel out the NCA exams but they are writing 2-3 NCA exams because UofT does not cover them.

Hope that helps haha

So, between UBC and Osgoode, I should go for UBC?
From what I've heard though, job prospects and networking opportunities are comparatively much better in Toronto than Vancouver! Isn't it so?

I'll still prefer UBC! It's a bigger University and a better experience. Also, I know networking will be an issue but I can still try to apply for Articling positions in Toronto after graduating from UBC! Init?

Yes, you can do that.

And how about UofT? (barring the NCA aspect)

Osgoode has a lot of law firms who hire directly from their school. So does UofT, also if you applied to UofC they also have Bennet Jones (HUGE law firm in Canada) that hire directly from UofC Law.

The former part of your comment; I think that's for the undergraduates. Firms don't directly hire LL.M. grads from Osgoode; so that part is not in favour of LLM students.

I have friends who are in the LLM program at Osgoode, they are so many networking events available for them to meet firms that hire directly from Osgoode. Also there is no undergraduate programs at Osgoode. Osgoode is the law department available for JD and LLM PHD students.

I dont have any resources in UBC haha or else I could give you some information! :)
