Full Description

Unsure of what to do after university and considering law school? Mid-career and wondering if you should take the LSAT?

In The Case for Law School, father-daughter duo Victoria and Christopher C. Nicholls aim to explain what applying to and attending law school really involves today. Taking the intimate form of a fireside chat between a law professor and a potential student, the book gives special insight into the ins and outs of being and becoming a Canadian lawyer. It includes the history of the Canadian common law system and practical information on legal education. Carefully exploring the law school application process and offering a glimpse of what an aspiring law student might encounter in a Canadian law school classroom, this text includes niche insight into thinking like a lawyer and the Socratic method, the role of statutory interpretation, and what qualifying as a lawyer in Canada really requires.

Whether you're already certain or are still on the fence, this book presents a reasonable and grounded guide for making a life-changing career choice. Practical and personable, the authors make The Case for Law School, but only you can be the judge of whether or not it's right for you.
