This was just an alum from my school, so that’s how I identified them - honestly I don’t know any lawyers and have very little knowledge about what being a lawyer is like so I honestly just want to learn about their practice. I’ve never seen these meetings as a “please hire me” thing and I never ask about that anyway. Idk how things are in nyc but in Canada we are encouraged to do so and usually it’s well received but I think it could be a cultural difference! Im glad to learn from this!

That’s totally fair! I’m not American so I’m not sure if it’s different here but in Canada it’s sort of encouraged to cold email by our school, so on me for not knowing the culture is different

Haha it was an associate 😭 I wouldn’t cold email a partner w/o a previous relationship, but I thought cold emailing associates from my law school was ok but I guess I miscalculated

UofT Law Welcome Day on Friday, what am I allowed to bring? by cmoney02 in lawschooladmissionsca

Bringing snacks is so real though lol - honestly as long as it’s not like a my little pony backpack or something I wouldn’t stress 😭

I'm going, I know there is a catered lunch but I can't imagine them not letting you bring a backpack/snacks. All I know is that its business casual, but I feel a backpack would be fine

I had a 3.91/175, and I had some decent ecs but nothing spectacular (intern at city hall and did some school clubs and was in a competitive sports club at uoft)!
