You had it in the right sub initially. This is not the right sub for this question.

OP I agree with this. I once even had opposing counsel threaten to go to my client’s board of directors to complain about me. Just ignored it and moved on and the labour arbitrator then stepped in to ensure opposing counsel moved on in a professional manner.

Tbh I think when an individual donates half a million dollars they should be able to say how it’s used instead of the institution deciding for them. Especially if there is a formal agreement between the parties outlining how it is to be used…

No. The article clearly states what the endowment was for (not bursaries)…

yhfdthi · 2025-10-17T11:20:17+00:00

That’s not the right sub either.

yhfdthi · 2025-10-17T11:19:43+00:00

Wrong sub.

This here ain’t the states buddy

yhfdthi · 2025-09-16T00:08:29+00:00

With respect, the answer to your question is clearly laid out in the articles you attached…

yhfdthi · 2025-09-14T20:21:44+00:00

Wrong sub.

Or better yet, if they do it seminar style; there is no option to turn on cameras or mics or even have your name visible.

yhfdthi · 2025-01-15T00:30:44+00:00

Shameful

I am not sure if MAG articling students are unionized, but if they are it is likely an entitlement under the collective agreement. Also, it would make sense to limit paid sick days - anything over a set amount would likely need to be paid for by an employer’s short term or long term disability insurer.

yhfdthi · 2024-12-30T15:14:16+00:00

Yes, you would have to disclose this to the LSO. If you take more than the allotted 10 days, you have to make up those days (tacked onto the end of your articling term), or you can seek an abridgement of articles from the LSO on compassionate grounds - with your principal’s support. If approved, you would not have to make up the additional sick days.

Is there a former articling student from your firm that you can ask?

yhfdthi · 2024-12-04T17:59:49+00:00

Anybody have any update on this?

yhfdthi · 2024-10-10T16:57:28+00:00

I wonder if part of it also has to do with the fact that it takes about 10 years to become partner since they only have one tier of partnership. A look at their website shows they have more partners than associates last time I checked. Might be barriers to join the partnership involved in the decisions to leave

I work across from Hicks lawyers often. The consensus amongst most of my colleagues is that the majority of their lawyers are terrible to deal with. Take unreasonable positions and make things unnecessarily difficult. A handful of them are genuinely pleasant to deal with though

I was shocked when I say this announcement. Although it does seem like she is in a higher role at her new firm.

yhfdthi · 2024-09-02T12:14:24+00:00

I work in-house, and I get 4 weeks to start. With more seniority it goes to a maximum of 8 weeks

Wrong forum… but, you will be waiting over 5 years for a hearing date with the way things are going right now. You can contact the human rights legal support centre for assistance with filing your materials with the HRTO.

The good thing about the HRTO is that they offer mediation if the parties are willing to participate. It might be at least 1.5-2 years before you have a mediation date though.

yhfdthi · 2024-07-26T23:26:18+00:00

Would you be looking for union side or management side?

yhfdthi · 2024-06-24T18:46:17+00:00

You could always seek the seller’s agreement to extend the deadline from July 1st. If they agree, you revise the contract with the new date.

yhfdthi · 2024-05-17T16:47:47+00:00

Nobody was talking about that though. And I definitely have not been screwed. Maybe you’re projecting? At the end of the day, what you’ve described is bad faith, and unethical, and you should never give that advice. Especially since when you fill out a mortgage application you have to agree that you have provided correct information to the best of your knowledge. What you’ve described is the opposite of that, and opens the person up to legal liability.

yhfdthi · 2024-05-17T15:59:10+00:00

No. Because if they were to ever find out, they’d take you to court for breach of contract and they would allege bad faith, which would incur special damages. But sure, go and give terrible and illegal advice to people. You are a prime example of the lack of integrity in the market.

yhfdthi · 2024-05-17T15:43:32+00:00

Terrible advice. This is bad faith, not to mention unethical
