Have raised pigs, will confirm there are blue pigs and pink pigs and sometimes blue and pink pigs!

:O Fascinating! 

This piggie wasn’t a very normal shade of blue. 

I dont think there’s many piggies that color, but, i’ve been wrong before!

Hi!Could you please recommend some interesting lawblr blogs to follow?Thanx😊

depends on your ~aesthetic~ as there’s a bit of a rift in our community between lawblrs and “real” lawblrs. lawblrs post the normal aesthetic shit like i do, but are /in law school/, and “real” lawblrs shitpost about law school and how miserable they are but are also /in law school/. i do a little of both, and love both ends of it so i’ll list some of both!

there are so so so many of us on both ends of the spectrum though, so check out the real lawblr and lawblr tags and dig around a bit! :-)

What are the Canadian levels? The US "just" requires a bachelor's degree to go to law school, then 3 years of law school, and passing the bar and ethics exam.

We start out the same. You have to have a University degree (although some schools will accept you with only three year’s of a degree so there are in fact a handful of students who never finished their Bachelor’s prancing around with JD’s). 

Then three years of law school. 

Then after that you have to complete the competency requirements to be called to the bar. These are: 

Articling, which is basically working as an apprentice under a certified lawyer for 10 months; OR 

In lieu of articling, some provinces have introduced practicums whereby you work in a classroom environment mocking a real law firm / do unpaid internships to gain the experience everyone else gets while they’re articling. It’s a pilot program to address the “articling crisis” which remains ongoing. 

Regardless of which of those avenues you choose, you still have to write the bar exams. In Ontario you self-study and write the Barristers Exam and the Solicitors Exam in separate sittings. Some provinces have bar-ad courses that you take instead for a few weeks and then write a test at the end. They also wrap our Rules of Professional Conduct up into these exams so we don’t take a separate (how ethical are you) test

After all of this has broken your soul, you’re eligible to be called to the bar.

This also means that while I graduated in June 2015 and started work in August, 2015, I am only in my second year of practice (second year call) because I articled for the 2015 - 2016 year and was only called to the bar in June, 2016.

They aren't secretaries, they're administrative assistants.

This poor secretary does everything for this guy. She’s more like a punching bag for him.

Update? How many died?

I second @advb16​'s inquiry

Wait what did the partner do???

Well, after some very loud and frightening back-and-forth (in which the partner emphasized that she works for him and the secretary emphasized that she was a person and not a machine), the secretary was sent home in tears. The partner bitched for the rest of the day about the Nerve™ of admin these days, but was otherwise his usual nightmarish self. Unclear if we will be seeing the secretary again tomorrow.

Awe Beagle! If it makes you better, I'm staying in because I have no life.

Tbh I think New Year’s Eve is sorta overrated anyway and I probably would have preferred to stay in regardless. I just wish it was without the addition of a cold...
