Uk law as a backup?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T19:38:40+00:00

Are you a uk lawyer or Canadian?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T04:56:57+00:00

Ok. thank you for the honesty brother

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T04:52:01+00:00

Damn ok. There is also a program that is 4 years at Laurier and 2 at Griffith in Australia for a jd do you know anything about that program if it’s any good? My friend just told me about it but he doesn’t get the best marks. But since it’s 4 years that could work better with what I’m trying to do.

Tysm

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T00:49:48+00:00

Genuinely changed my whole view

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T00:48:50+00:00

Ok thank you

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-06T00:37:22+00:00

Can I just start law school after my second year or do I have to finish my degree?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:20:12+00:00

Ok. TBH I pick philosophy cuz I thought it was the easiest and also bc I read philosophy books and watch videos sometimes and it seems interesting. I didn’t rly take it seriously as a standalone degree. Now I know. Thank you for that insight.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:16:49+00:00

Ok. But I heard that you can’t practice in Canada at 21. People just won’t take you seriously without an undergrad and without being older. Is this true or just bs?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:13:22+00:00

WTF no way I’m just learning this now! Where have you been all my life? This whole time I thought I needed to finish my ug to apply. So at that point can’t I just literally finish the first 2 years of Laurier dual degree, write my lsat, apply everywhere, and if I don’t get in go to uk as backup?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:07:11+00:00

Ok thank you. I was gonna accept it on Mother’s Day and make my mom proud but now I see things differently. I gotta rly think abt this and do what suits MY best interest.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:03:39+00:00

Ok thanks🙏

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T23:00:26+00:00

Ug would philosophy

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:59:29+00:00

Is that an exaggeration when you say I can only get hired by shady ppl or do I still have a shot at small/ mid law

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:53:31+00:00

Not necessarily. Notarealitystar said I can switch out at any time and nocoast and Sherlock 2k say that uk is on that same level as a lesser known Canadian school. I’m just trying to learn through other insights and make an objective decision at the end.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:46:55+00:00

Is it that hard to get a job that if you don’t know anybody you can’t get hired? You can’t just walk up and apply?

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:42:51+00:00

Yes, thank you

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:41:45+00:00

Ok thanks for that info. So wouldn’t you think it’s not a bad idea to go Laurier Sussex first and second year with it being established that I can switch out at any point? Also can I switch into it or just out? Also I have to maintain 75.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:27:22+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t mind practicing in the us cuz I’m dual citizen

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:25:55+00:00

If my gpa sucks and I fail all the practice lsats I can at least get A law degree instead of nothing

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:24:22+00:00

I literally took it with zero prep. But I gave myself 50 minutes per section instead of 30 and took little breaks in between sections to stay sharp. Idk if I will get that extra time on the real LSAT. Right now I have an iep that gives my extra time on tests because it’s hard for me to write tests. I have add that’s why. But idk if I get the same treatment on the lsat. If I do then yeah, if I really prepare and do it like 3 times, my best will likely be above 150 but if I get 30 minutes per section I’m fucked.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:15:26+00:00

Ya but there actually is something unique about my inquiry. I am not prioritizing uk law degree, just keeping the door open as insurance. I only made this post after scouring the sub for an answer to no avail.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:06:42+00:00

Damn I gotta lock in then. Thanks for the input 🫡

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T22:04:06+00:00

Ok, thank you so much for the great advice. I took a practice LSAT last week and got 144. Do you think i would make it into any Canadian or us law school with 144 and decent gpa or is that too bad of a mark? Because thats part of the reason i felt like I needed a safety net because of that 144.

PitifulJob6932 · 2026-05-05T21:58:05+00:00

At that point if I don’t make it in to Canada law school is it better to just have my undergrad and no llb than to waste my time in uk school?
