I worked on a remote basis as a summer student in private practice in 2020. For OP and anyone who might be worried about the uncertainties of how that works out, in my experience the technology set up was the easy part, as in the support staff did their jobs well and I rarely had technical difficulties, but unfortunately there is just no perfect substitute for walking by someone's office and poking your head in for a chat about work/non-work stuff. There were one or two lawyers who went out of their way to reach out and set up calls with me just to chat and get to know each other more casually, and it was super special knowing that they intentionally took time out of their day to make a student feel welcomed. The lawyers who assigned me work were very approachable and encouraged reaching out via texts/calls but I pretty much did not interact with lawyers who were not in the habit of working with students. My group chat with my fellow students was a life line, though, we watched out for one another and helped each other out with lessening the load when some of us were drowning in deadlines or needed an extra hand with specific tasks. That's the other thing with getting work assignments remotely, lawyers wouldn't oversee/overhear what their colleagues are doing in the students' area of the office and they also wouldn't be able to just walk by the students and see how busy/not busy they seem to be. The responsibility is on the student to assess their workload and decide if they need to de-prioritize and re-negotiate certain tasks and deadlines or recommend the lawyer to assign the task to another, less busy student. -

Hello everyone, just a question on re-submitting a transcript to make sure I'm doing this correctly - I simply re-send the transcript request on OLSAS, correct? -
Yes there are multiple versions of the test administered although I'm not sure how many. I had some different passages, games etc. from other people who sat the LSAT in the same month as me. -
Hey everyone! I write tomorrow and made the stupid mistake of reading how some people found their LSAT that they took yesterday. While doing so, I realized people could talk about the exam online and give pointers that could possibly increase someone's chances (I'm not going to go into too much detail but essentially there is a certain question type). I was wondering if there are multiple different tests that are administered? Thank you -
Ignore social groups until 2L 😂. Western was good in terms of integrating people into small groups and having events (orientation week and bi-weekly bar nights) to attempt to foster something of a "celebratory" culture. I would assume a more pleasant place than an Osgoode or Ottawa, but the prevailing mood is still what you would expect from a law school.
