Hi again, Paskwc! :D I was actually well aware of the law program at McGill. The only problem is that I'm a Canadian citizen enrolled in a U.S. high school, and thus do not have a CEGEP certificate. I'm not sure if that changes things for me, but it's definitely worth looking into. I'll be sure to ask for more details about that when discussing college options.

Yawn, I myself studied law for 6 years. A law study means that you always study the national law of ONE country. I for example studied in Germany, so this was all about German law. With this study I wouldn't have been qualified to work in another EU - country, because there German law is not valid. So if you want to work in the USA, you should study law in this country. Or if in Canada, you should study law in Canada.
But, this is just an info, you have so many years ahead to make plans, so you have all the time in the world.... Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Oh, I see. Thanks! I guess the country I'll eventually be studying law in will be one in which I'll have to permanently reside, so that will be a very important decision. Is there such thing as a common law that applies to the entire European Union, though? I often hear that for students studying law in the UK, they are also allowed to practice in the entire British Commonwealth, though I'm not certain if that's true or not. It would be great if something like that could be applied to the EU... :D Edited by yawn on 19 January 2010 at 8:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I am willing to bet you are under-estimating the number of female posters here. Many or perhaps most posters use gender-ambiguous names and do not post pictures of themselves. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In Canada, there is a process for the accreditation of foreign degrees. Prospective lawyers with foreign qualifications must be vetted by the bar associations of the provinces they wish to practice in. In addition, the bar exam must be administered. However, many Canadian law schools have orientated themselves to allow their students to practice in America. For example, the University of Windsor has a joint program with the University of Detroit and York University has a joint program with New York University. Similarly, some graduates from McGill and U of T practice in New York and Massachusetts. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, for the few profiles that I looked at, most had male names associated with them, so I assumed that there were more males than females. Of course, just like any scientist will tell you, this can very well be an erroneous conclusion due to the small size of the sample... :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ooh, interesting! This makes me wonder if there's a common bar exam that applies to all the countries in the European Union. There probably isn't, but in a few years, who knows? But for now, my foremost priority is to get my undergraduate degree - actually, no, to graduate from high school! Everything else will come later. I need to focus and do my homework now, haha Edited by yawn on 20 January 2010 at 5:03am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

By the way, do any of you guys know when to use the "Genitiv" and "Dativ" forms in German? I'm learning about them right now, but I'm extremely confused... Jiwon, perhaps you could help? :)
