Delay in Publication

The 2nd Edition of So, You Want to be a Lawyer, Eh? has been delayed somewhat by the publisher. We expect it to be available by May, 2007. It has taken some extra time to gather the new information and corroborate its accuracy. As well, there is lots of new information, so that has taken longer to sort through with editing, etc. It will be really good though, and is worth the wait. In the meantime, you will still find the First Edition very useful and well worth the $15.

For those of you who have purchased the book - thank you. I really appreciate your support. I also really appreciate the positive feedback that some of you have left at Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and Chapters.ca. Thank you.

That First Post Law School Job

There's a nice short article about considerations in choosing a post law school job (i.e. articling position). Some good ideas, but it kind of reads like an advertisement for a recruiting firm, which it probably is.

Osgoode renovations to cost $25 million

"York University's board of governors approved a $25 million renovation for Osgoode Hall Law School in order to accommodate growth in enrollment."

"The expansion plan for the 33-year-old building will begin in June 2008. The expansion, among other things, will allow for more classes in the building and will expand the law library."

For more detail, go to Excalibur - York University's Newspaper.

I think growth is good, but I question an increase in enrollment. This isn't the only law school who is increasing enrollment. Being on the other side of my law school years, I can tell you that there are plenty of current and graduating Canadian law students who are not too happy about this idea. What do you think?
