Yeah when I saw the sticker price I was blown away, for the same reasons. -
I don't know what the numbers are like for other provinces (hopefully lower) but the LSO charging roughly $5000 for articling students to receive their licence is gross. I'm lucky enough to be with a firm that is covering part/potentially all of my costs, but my colleagues going to practice outside of big law, many in less financially remunerative but critical areas in criminal defence, legal aid, family law, etc are expected to shell out $5000 more for the privilege of working an articling job they secured themselves and to take two online exams? We are in the middle of a global pandemic, financial pressure on everyone is increased and there was already a shortfall in articling positions before COVID (1.6 new licensees to every new practice position, per the ON gov). I'm honestly disgusted with the LSO at the moment, especially considering the same day they sent us these bloated invoices, the current Benchers voted down a motion to consider permitting articling students voting rights, not even to actually provide us with some representation in the organization where fiscal decisions significantly impacting us are made. All while the LSO announces it has an unexpected $15M GAIN from 2020. Just sick stuff. -
Just reading this now and glad I’m not the only one. Last semester of undergrad and motivation really took a hit in mid feb. After a couple weeks of video games, procrastination, and getting high, I finally feel like I’m back and can focus on my studies again. Hoping the best for everyone! -

I'm sure once U of T sends out its final round of acceptances in the next few weeks we'll hear more from Osgoode and other schools! *crosses fingers* -
