I should add that there’s more miscellaneous at Big Firms because you end up doing things like lunch and learns, talking to prospective students, student events/bonding activities or weekly drinks with the firm (pre-COVID). And less admin cause there’s more staff. -

Sorry it didn't occur to me to mention earlier, but the urinals in Allard Hall are terrible. There is one for little people and one for NBA players. I think I forgot about this because thanks to COVID it's been a while since I last set foot in that building. -
Bonjour! J’ai un 3.6 et je viens d’appliquer. Je suis tellement stresser!! J’espère être accepter. J’ai aussi déjà accès à UOZone. -
My day is a pretty similar split as an articling student at a Big Firm but with longer hours (8-8-ish) and probably 10% administrative tasks, 10% miscellaneous. There's some mediations/arbitrations/client Zoom meetings/drafting disclosure documents/hearings/settlement conferences/trials thrown in there too, depending which practice group you're attached to at a given time.

Is Evidence not a required course at UBC? I think you should take it either way, for a couple of reasons: unless you've already secured a position at a solicitor-only firm, there's a good chance you'll have to do some litigation during articles; and you should know some general principles of litigation because as a solicitor you'll be advising clients on how to avoid being sued, which necessitates having an understanding of litigation.
