• Summary:"Are you an international student or foreign trained lawyer looking to get licensed to practice law in Canada? The Canadian legal market is changing rapidly and every year, more students study abroad and foreign trained lawyers decide to transfer their skills and practice law in Canada. The Canadian legal market is a great platform for practicing law and growing professionally. However, breaking into the legal job market can be difficult for those who have not studied law in Canada. Canadian Legal Career Guide for International Law Students and Foreign Trained Lawyers will guide you through the process of getting an articling position and licensed in Canada. It is a career guide similar to that which students at Canadian law schools often receive upon beginning their legal studies. Each chapter gives in-depth information on the legal job search process, with chapters specifically on finding summer and articling positions in Canada and non-traditional legal careers. The Guide includes information on the National Committee on Accreditation process and how the timing of these exams interact with the timing of the Canadian legal recruitment processes." --publisher's description.
