<p>Quebec government lawyers are now on strike, including “Crown Prosecutors”, the analog to American District Attorneys.</p>
<p>[CBC</a> News - Montreal - Quebec government lawyers strike](<a href=“http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2011/02/08/quebec-lawyers-strike-crown-prosecutors.html]CBC”>http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2011/02/08/quebec-lawyers-strike-crown-prosecutors.html)</p>
<p>I wonder will American lawyers get any ideas from this? From the comments, there is not much public sympathy.</p>
<p>Did you actually intend to post this in the “Parents Forum” at a site called “College Confidential”?</p>
<p>It’s cool that he has 2^10 posts. Perhaps this should go in the cafe. Unless it’s meant to discourage Canadian college students from going into law.</p>
<p>I guess it should go in the cafe. I intended it as a “conversation piece”. There have been several threads on CC re: the plight of law graduates. Unionized lawyers? Yikes!</p>
<p>Quebec is known for labor unrest, in many professions, and the legal world in Quebec is different than in any other Canadian province. It is Civil law there, Common law in the rest of the country. Most Canadian law students, including many of those in law school in Quebec, have no desire to practice in Quebec, nor would they be qualified to do so.</p>
