Editing Time Issue
almostnot replied to AllanRC's topic in Forum Rules, Terms & Conditions, and Support
Also if you haven’t gotten this offer already. If you send me a link to your post with the revised text, I’ll edit it for you (assuming no substantive changes). We will slip rule this one. 😂 -

Would it be expensive to hire a lawyer in Toronto?
almostnot replied to Jody's topic in General Discussion
Sorry about your brother. That’s super shitty. This forum isn’t really intended for people to seek legal or legal adjacent advice. While your post isn’t technically seeking legal advice, I’m going to lock it and anyone that has a response for you can PM you. I will say, that for personal injury cases, it’s common for lawyers to act on contingency. -
I’m not positive they use the same scoring matrix that I’ve seen. I agree there’s relatively little given to overall impressions, but there are some points (maybe 15%ish) that go to presentation type things (grammar, language, persuasiveness etc). The overall approach I take with government interviews is threefold: 1) study the underlying substantive law 2) study the competencies 3) study your experience The best answer will be one where you can showcase your substantive expertise using a real life experience that also showcases the competencies.

Student Sponsorship for BCCAT Conference
almostnot replied to almostnot's topic in General Discussion
https://bccat.net/conferences/ here’s the 2020 conference. I’m looking forward to the AI in decision making discussion. I think it will be very interesting. I think BCCAT is still doing the student sponsorship. If you’re interested reach out to your admin prof/school administration. -
I disagree this is the purpose. It’s to allow the LSBC to say they’ve ensured basic competency in their registrants for the protection of the public. Since a lawyer can practice in any area, they can best meet this goal by covering a broad range of topics. (Especially those topics where they find the most claims and regulatory complaints.) ETA: I guess I actually agree that broadly this does constitute a “gap”. Your proposed solution In my view just doesn’t address the right gap.

A bit... someone direct me to a blog post by a smart person when it’s posted. I am not reading 3000 paragraphs.

BCSC and long suffering Judge Steeves released the final decision finding that there was no Charter breach. Also not super happy with Plaintiff’s counsel’s approach to evidence by the sounds of it. decision is currently PW protected but apparently circulating on Twitter. eta: the costs bill is going to wreck Cambie

Architect interns aren't excluded. That internship goes on for three to five years. They seem to be able to make it work.
