Document Summary
School was not necessary, was just a program. Practical and non-academic by being an apprentice then take some test to get your degree. Post-1950s undergraduate degree, then 3 year law degree to get your jd jurist doctor. 18-19 schools in canada, and admission is very competitive: measures of eligibility : gpa & lsats. Combination of both gpa and lsats eg. ubc 50-50 weighing, uvic 70-30. Undergrad degree of any concentration, no such thing as a pre-law degree. Lsats: test logical/analytical reasoning (4 hr test, mc), 75th percentile. 60% of admission have become women because they are more qualified. Groups that have had obstacles that as affected their gpa. Aboriginal students, access students (any disability) and mature students (late 20s or older) Once any of these students are admitted, they do not have any special treatment, they are treated like everyone else.
