cbriody,
anything to help out a fellow Canuck (unless you're not Canadian - in that case you're not allowed to read my post).
just kidding. i'm from Toronto and am going to a law schol in Long Island in August. here's a board i trolled a bit when i applied to Canadian law schools. lots of good stuff on specific schools.
http://p210.ezboard.com/bcanadianlawschoolsif you have any general questions about the process (i'm pretty familiar with the Canadian schools too) than you can always e-mail me. the best thing to do is find someone who's practicing right now in Toronto or Calgary (the two hottest markets) and ask them what it's really like.
hope this helps.
if you want info on just the legal industry and general stuff, i suggest going to
www.nylawyer.com. click on the advice columsn like "Advice for the Lawlorn", "Crossroads", "Work/life Wisdom". Search past questions and answers and it'll give you a general feel.
