ABOUT ME //
Hi! My name is Mithea and I’m a recent law grad from Ontario. I make videos about the law student/articling life and how I balance that with my other interests! Hoping to inspire law students out there to pursue their passions beyond law (whatever they may be). Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!

I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔
Please does anyone know who this Mr Thomas is? I really need to speak with him I’m frustrated
Thank you so much for sharing! I am taking my next month and I'm SO nervous
Lol.
The truth is most new law students you see today passed with Thomas help, my sister passed thanks Thomas and I’ll be sitting for my lsat exam next month, I’m studying what Thomas provided already, I trust him and I know with him I’ll pass .
Ooh my world you all know Mr Thomas too...what a small world, i got enrolled for the direct license option because l had no time to study I got admitted 2 Months Later
Super helpful, especially the tip to match personal statements with the school. Thanks for sharing!
This video is great, I get asked by people all the time how to get into law school so I'll share this next time I get asked. Pretty much bang on. I got in back in 2015 and this is pretty much the approach I took to get in. The personal statement actually makes quite a difference, I also know, as someone who did a one year masters in between that at least Dalhousie, where I went, really values those.
Thank you for sharing! Can you make a video on your LSAT process specifically and what textbooks you used to study?
nice to hear about your journey!
This was so informative! Well done as always!😊

Question to creator or anyone else: How were you able to get academic references if you waited two years after finishing school before applying?
Btw, informative video, thanks!
Hi Flora! I took seminar classes in my fourth year of undergrad which had smaller class sizes (8 students) so thankfully the professor still remembered me and was able to write a reference.
Hi. I from Nigeria, I studied philosophy.
What are the requirements to get into law school in Canada ?
Hey Vitalis, I’m a law student in Ontario and what you need in order to get into law school in Canada differs depending on the province. In Ontario, we have to complete an undergraduate degree before we can enter law school. We also need to take the LSAT. What you choose to study as your undergrad major is not as relevant as the grades that you got and your extracurriculars. So I would focus on studying for the LSAT and building up your extracurriculars/hobbies/work experience in the meantime as you are applying. If you are applying to law schools in Quebec, the process differs because some law schools do not require the LSAT as part of their admissions process.
Hey can diplomat holders give lsat in Canada
A little late to the party but pretty much every school (ex-Quebec), even if they don't require it, now wants people with fully completed degrees. It's also gotten way more competitive since I got in. I went to Dal, which is considered one of the harder schools to get into, and, today, I probably wouldn't have gotten in if I'm being honest. You basically need a GPA in the 3.7 range, on a 4.3 scale, and an LSAT of at least 160 to go to even the more "regional" schools now. If you want to go to the "national" schools, you now need at least a 165 and 3.8 plus extracurriculars and stuff. One thing that can also make a difference is if you do a masters degree. Certain schools think this is impressive. I know it helped me to get in.
Can diplomat holders give lsat in canada??
Can you tell me what are the qualifications need to be studying in law in Canada
And do all video for me:"::
thank your explnation, i am japanese lawyer who want to go to excellent us llm , i worry about my gqa in my japanese lawschool. It is just 1.8.
But i went to lawschool while i worked as securitery analyst.
Can i go to top 15 us llm nevertheless such a gpa?
Depends on a lot of things. Assuming you have significant practice experience, grades matter a lot less. Some schools weirdly have a cutoff. I ended up doing a PhD with a fairly impressive record from my LLM (including existing publication), and, while many top schools didn't care that my JD grades were below average, as law school and law academics are two very different things, some just had a weird cutoff policy. If schools like that don't want you, it's their loss.
Hi, I’m from Azerbaijan. I’m going to move to Canada within a year. (I'm in 10th grade now). Do you think it will be difficult to study to become a lawyer in Kingston, Ontario? Which universities with a law faculty in Kingston or in nearby cities can you recommend to me? Pls answer me🥹
Hi there! It's great that you're planning so far in advance. In high school, take courses that help you develop your reading and writing skills (e.g. english, philosophy, history, etc). Continue this in university and complete a degree in a subject you enjoy. As for law schools, there is Queen's University Faculty of Law in Kingston Ontario. Good luck!
thank you sm!❤
I have a friend from Azerbaijan who moved to Canada at a similar age I think. She is now a tax lawyer. Look her up, Rafiga Law. So it's definitely doable. I, as well as every lawyer I know, will tell you the best way to get into law school in Canada is to go to any university and finish at the top of your class in your undergraduate degree at a decent, not great, university. Going to a top school and finishing mediocre will only hurt you. The LSAT is important, but, unlike in the US, a 165 will probably get you into just about anywhere. Also, try to limit the partying during your first degree. I know it's challenging but the sacrifice will be worth it once you get to law school. Once there, your grades matter less than people think.
Can someone with Bachelor’s degree in Education Major courses like English language apply for Criminal law schools courses in canada?
No. Law school is a postgraduate course. It's not like Europe or the UK where it is undergraduate.
All the tip I need a drink law school as well
How uselfu is a PG diploma in Law?
How important is it to have the minimum grade for admission?
It really depends on the school you're applying to. While grades are important, some schools have a more holistic approach and also consider things like your extra curriculars and community involvement.
Today, aim for a 3.7 on a 4.3 scale. It's gotten way more competitive than when I applied. If you have a crazy good LSAT score, a Masters degree in something or a professional designation already, that can really offset your undergraduate GPA too. I hope this is helpful.
Can we do with a paralegal diploma or any of them ... And secondly can we apply after a 3 year post secondary diploma or we have to a seperate 1 year course im so confused studying in 12th standard from india 🙏
Hi Aman, generally to be academically eligible to enter most common law schools in Canada requires obtaining an undergraduate degree. You should consult the law school you are interested in to find out whether degrees from other countries are accepted.
@@TheJurisJourney thanks for replying , Basically I want to ask that I want to do 2 years diploma from canada and After that 1 or 2 more years diploma further I'll proceed will be converted into degree and Can I eligible for law school . 👍
Thnx and give more info
Thank you for watching Aman!
Is it necessary to do paralegal to get in law school?
Hi BalKar! No, it is not required!
@@TheJurisJourney k 👍🏻
Hello. I am 14 years old, and I've known for some time I want to be a lawyer. How do I start angling myself?
Start reading. I don’t care what, but read every single day. For a few minutes, up to an hour. A newspaper, article, book. You must hone your reading comprehension skills to a level of mastery by the time you do your LSAT. Your ability to critically analyze paragraphs in a logical frame and identify arguments is paramount. I got into law school a few days ago, and I had wished I had begun working on my analytical skills early on in high school. Good luck!
@@KC-sm2ox best tip for all the Law school aspirants. 👌
Aside from working on your reading comprehension, logical reasoning, etc. that has already been mentioned in the comments. I would also strongly suggest building up a network of references from your community (volunteer/work). You’re quite young so this would be too soon but you can start envisioning what kind of narrative you want to pursue for when you do actually choose to attend university and apply to law schools thereafter. Extracurriculars are very important to many law schools. They usually weigh it equally on par with the LSAT and your university grades.
@@musicbeauty00 As for extra curriculars, I really love debate. Came 13th at nationals this year. Reading comprehension is good but still needs work, thanks for the advice guys!
