Thanks Turtles for your update as well! 1. I have heard about RA roles with professors but I don't know how you approach them and what’s the process to get accepted. Great if you can describe how it would work similar to my profile. 2. Can you also explain a bit by applying broadly (as also mentioned by GoatDuck)? The thing is that I applied to almost all firms in the 1L recruit for both places and also got to go on coffee/virtual chats with associates, articling students, and summer students but still didn’t get a response. But also the 1L recruit is different from 2L so what would this method of applying broadly entail now and what pointers I should keep in mind? Thanks once again! -

Yes I am! And I’ve found the same. Civ lit was a lotttt of material. I’m making it through crim with much more ease (especially as I’ve worked in crim so it’s more familiar - civil stuff is frankly a mystery to me lol). -

It is typically more like you won't be eligible for partnership until X year rather than billing out at a lower rate or getting less comp. But there aren't a ton of super senior US laterals these days to begin with. -

Does anyone know when grades / awards / prize notifications will be released for 3Ls graduating this June? I'm assuming they have to be posted earlier than for 1Ls and 2Ls (since we need to know whether we passed to attend convocation), but does anyone know how the school has gone about this re: timelines in previous years? Thanks! 🙂 -

Are you using the Beat the Bar questions for practice here? I wasn't sure if there's other companies that have practice questions for this section as well that you may recommend! So far I found civil litigation to be the most dense so far (I'm also into the criminal law section now, and I'm finding crim to be less stressful/dense). -

I’m now into criminal law, but, upon reflection, would encourage folks to take extra time for the initial civil litigation practice. This section is long and one day of practice was not enough for me to be as familiar with the materials as I had hoped. -

CB2021's post is spot on. Another point to add: as a general rule, the smaller a firm gets, the more important networking becomes. While applying through the general recruit may not be very successful due to Canadian schools being less recognized, it may be worthwhile to heavily network with a few select firms and then apply through referral (referrals are a lot more important in NY than Canada). Your grades will probably not hold you back with these firms as most firms outside the V20 regularly hire B average students. Your biggest hurdle will be showing that you are at a reputable law school which is where networking will be vital.
