Happy New Year everyone. Just wondering if anyone had any advice about moving from Big Law to Family Law after articling. I was very fortunate to secure a 2L summer position during the recruit at a Bay Street firm, and was offered articling which I accepted. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, Big Law is definitely not for me. I did not find the work interesting, I did not feel passionate about or emotionally connected to the work, and I just morally/philosophically don't agree with the practice and politics of Big Law. I don't want to end up getting stuck in Big Law practice. I took Family Law this year and l loved it. How can I go about with making a switch to family law? What does the job market look like for family lawyers right now? What should I be doing in 3L and articling to set myself up for success? Thank you so much in advance.

Just declined my offer - really hoping it goes to someone here! Good luck!

Thank you so much for all of your feedback everyone, I decided to choose Windsor! I really appreciate the time you put into your responses, they were so helpful

Just wanted to post quickly here to get some outside opinions before I make a decision... I was accepted to TRU at the end of May, assuming it would be the only school I got into. Two days ago I got into Windsor Single JD and that is complicating my decision. I am from Toronto and hope to practice in Toronto upon completing law school. I am very outdoorsy and was very excited to be moving to Kamloops for 3 years, Windsor is not very appealing to me in that respect. I also know that TRU places a stronger emphasis on Indigenous legal perspectives which is another big draw for me. I already leased an apartment and am unsure how difficult it will be to sublet it to another person before September. I know everyone on this forum says go to school in the province you want to practice, but at the end of the day I think it is the student that secures the job, not the school they go to. I know TRU students from Toronto who are now articling at Toronto firms, they just had to put in a bit more work networking-wise to establish themselves in the Toronto legal community. Thanks in advance

Accepted off the wait list just now! Check previous posts for stats I was rejected off the Windsor wait list last year so this feels pretty nice! Will 99.999999% be declining so I hope the seat goes to someone here - good luck with the wait everyone!
