Hi ameek,Sun May 04, 2008 12:43 PM I am not a person who can advise you efficiently concerning your query. But you can find the relevant information on the webpages of the big law firms such as Gowlings, Bereskin & Parr, BordenLadner Gervais, Davis, Osler, Miller Thomson etc. You can browse Careers page of the website to view requirements of the firm for hiring associats or articleship. Since you have already received response from NCA, could you please let me know how much time NCA usually take to respond after submission of evaluation application. I am planning to apply for evaluation in next couple of months. regards |

Thanks jaideep!Sun May 04, 2008 05:59 PM NCA approximately takes 2 months for evaluating the credentials. so my suggestion would be to apply right now instead of wating for couple of months. neways, u can browse through the official NCA website, its got complete details of the entire process: www.flsc.ca |

Hi - I have posted a similar message in another thread 'Moving to Canada'. I am looking for other people in my situation.Fri Aug 29, 2008 01:22 AM I plan on writing challenge exams in January 2009. Is there any one else out there who has to write the following subjects: criminal law and procedure; civil procedure; evidence; family law; administrative law; professional respopnsibility. Any notes / outlines, tips or advice are welcome. are there any websites where I can get outlines or condensed noted, as i believe the exams are similar to those of the law faculty of University of Ottawa. ps I have passed constitutional law and corporations already. |
