Anyone watching the match this afternoon?

Crazy outcome yesterday. Pep will be sacked me thinks.

I'm thinking Madrid will win at the Bilabao.

Any thoughts...

In Halifax, the potential job actions involve 870 Dalhousie professors and 3,800 health-care workers. The transit workers, 650-strong, are in the midst of their first strike since 1998.

Any thoughts? Does this affect the LS?

I am on the fence about going to Dal. I am looking for any experiences or opinions from current students/recent grads on your choice of going to Dal.

I love Halifax as a city and Dal seems like a great community. The course offerings look excellent. I am leaning towards the commercial/corporate end of things, but Dal offers some great opportunities to grow into an area of law.

If you have any comments, experiences or regrets please offer them.

Hello,

I am considering accepting my offer from Schulich and paying the $200 deposit because the deadline is Feb 29 to do so. Dal is definitely in my top two/three schools and I do not want to let the offer die. I am consider doing this because I am trying to buy some time for my partner to hear back from MA programmes that she has applied to. So far the only school she has been accepted to is Queen's, the only school where I have not been accepted to.

If I accept, will Dal communicate with other schools between now and April 1st to let them know that I have accepted their offer? Is it horrid form to accept and then decline?

Thank you.

From what I've read here, it seems that consensus is that it is wise to go to law school where you want to work afterwards. Where I am from, a small town in Ontario, the dichotomy has always been that those who did not pursue institutional education (university/college) went out West to work. On the other side of University, with good work experience and trilingual (incl. french) going out West seems like a good option. The reality is, there do not seem to be any decent jobs here that are attainable. I see them advertised all the time, but I do not even get an interview. I am applying to entry level "professional" jobs that I am more than qualified for.

This environment in Ontario is making a decision between UofC and Western very difficult; I have been accepted to both. I understand that the market for lawyers is different than the general labour market, but surely the general economy must weigh on the prospects for new law grads. Ontario's economy seems to be a disaster anywhere outside of some small pockets of affluence, mostly in Toronto. Law school is an extraordinarily large investment for anyone, especially those of us in our early 20s. I want to make a wise decision and be a in a place where I have reasonable opportunities to be rewarded for my investment and hard work. The future of Canada is clearly in Western Canada. It is where the country's population and economy is growing. The basis for that economy, resources, cannot be picked-up and moved like a Caterpillar plant. Would it be wise to follow that trend and relocate to Calgary?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
