Hey there,
I've been looking over the LSAC website and noticed their list of schools in Canada that offer a J.D and the list of schools in Australia that offer a J.D as well.
Is it really possible for me as an American to attend a law school in another country, attain a degree and then practice law and live there?? If so, I'm really going to consider it.
Any help would be appreciated, and while I wait for a response I'll see what google has to say haha.
Thanks in advance.
Hey! I hope this helps!
Well, for a long time I was determined to be a police officer. The person I looked up to most was a cop, and I was determined to have a direct impact on people in our system. Then I took a job as a police cadet, 40hrs/week, great benefits and pay and all while still in undergrad. I wasn't happy, but didn't even realize how unhappy I was until I participated in my Uni's justice clinic, where we aided the public defenders office in our city.
I realized how much I hated being a cadet, uncovered some buried distaste for the law enforcement in my town in general (lol), and discovered that I LOVED genuinely helping people. From doing on the spot research for a defense attorney seconds before a case was called, to helping a mother pick up clothing for her son to wear home from his release. Even just tutoring people in Motor vehicle regulations and how it effects them in court felt GOOD. I was extremely happy, just helping out in a small way.
I think it's important for you to determine what your base needs are in a career. For me, it's being genuinely able to help someone in need.
Once you figure out what you NEED in a career, it's easier to figure out what careers could work for you.
