It's pretty awful here in the states.

Not nearly as bad as in the United States. Law grads can find work if they're willing to move for it. Otherwise, if you want to work in a big city center, you're going to have to compete pretty hard.

Long term outlook, though, expanding class sizes, more schools, and some changes to the "articling" process might actually start produce more lawyers than needed.

in one of my cases, the associate from the plaintiff's firm broke into our gated construction yard to take pictures of the "oil contamination" and got caught by a security guard when he got stuck on the fence. we referred to him as the cat burglar from then on and it seems you're well on your way to achieving the same skill set as he. =)

the fence was up not to hide the work, but to reduce dust levels for the community and all they had to do was ask to see it (per discovery), but they chose the watergate route because they are idiots.

Haha! Speaking of funny stories, I work as a lawyer in our Supreme Court. One of the cases I handled was an administrative case for disbarment. The defense lawyer, during a break in the hearing, took some of the plaintiff's evidence, hid in the bathroom, and ate the documents. Stomach of steel. Anyway I suspended him from practice for a couple of years but couldn't bring myself to recommend his disbarment because of the hilarity of what he did (besides, the opposing counsel had duplicates of the document so it didn't really affect the case too much).

That story is priceless, almost to the point where spending 20 minutes in a dumpster with baghands is worth it, just so you can say you have that story.

And a friend of mine might know you. I don't imagine Windsor's Law circles are that big. Short redhead, and every bit as angry as you'd expect a ginger to be.

I've been interested in Law ever since I got a jury summons (in the usa, participating in a jury is a civic duty!). So as a result, Ive been playing all the Phoenix Wright games. They're really fun and they make being a juror/lawyer interesting...

Since you're in law school and stuff, how similar are the phoenix wright video games to canaidian law?

They're not at all even remotely similar in any conceivable way.

Browsing TL as a break from studying Tax Law and this is not what I expected to find. Pretty funny though.

I was in Windsor for Law Games 2013. Are you going this year to Montreal, HP?

I might make it out. I'm not participating, but a bunch of people want to just go up anyway to partake in the debauchery.

Thing is, I've got a moot to prepare for with a factum due in early January. We'll see.
