That’s such a great reply ! Thank you very much.
I understand your point but:
- I think it’s now too late to apply to a British or Canadian LLB, isn’t it ?
- British, American and Canadian Law are different aren’t they ?
Yes they are.
But most Canadian programs (such as McGill) will expect a Bachelor’s degree. So, you could apply to McGill’s Law degree with a BA from any of the 5 universities you listed.
It would include BOTH Civil “Code” Law and Common Law since both are required to work in Canada.
There are also post-bacc British programs. Again, your ability to get a First will matter most.
I think that it is too late now to apply to post-Bac British programs but the McGill program seems great. However, do you know if with this program, I would be able to practice in the USA or elsewhere ?
Post bacc = after a 3or4-year degree. HS students aren’t eligible. In the Uk you’ll need a First to apply to good postbacc LLBs.
The First is an Honor granted the best students in a class.
McGill is recognized throughout North America. You would need to add the bar where you want to practice but that’s par for the course, everywhere.
Even in Quebec where the French language universities admit to law directly after the DEC and recognize the French bac as equivalent to the DEC, there are other paths.
So 
You’re 4years early. (Although McGill accepts 3-year degrees too).
Yes, hence the questions about someone from one country wanting to study law somewhere else, especially somewhere you cannot be sure of getting the right to work after you graduate.
(I do know someone from my home country who went to Yale law school to do a JD and now has a green card. I don’t know how much funding he got from Yale, but he worked for a solid 5 or 6 years full time after his undergrad law degree to help save up. )
I see ! (As the high school diploma in France is called the Baccalaureat, when we speak about “Post-bac” it means just after high school, that’s why I didn’t understand)
That’s great, thank you. So I will need to work hard to be First !
I just checked the tuition fees and they are around 40,000 for International students, but they precise that they are helping students financially, so it may be fine.
4 years including year abroad or internship ?
To SJ2727: Which country do you come from? He was accepted after multiple years of work ?
At McGill you’d be considered as a Canadian student for fee purpose due to an agreement between France and Quebec.
A First is like a mention TB. Roughly 20% students get it. It means you’re better than 80% in your subject, every year.
I can honestly not thank you enough for helping me that much. You should be granted a PhD in helping.
I think I have a great idea here, but i will post something if i have further questions
No problem :). I work with French students a lot 
Wait for all your offers. Check out where they have US exchanges if you need additional criteria to decide which one to “firm” as a first choice and make sure your second choice “insurance” has given you easier to reach conditions.Then, it’ll be up to you to do everything you can to stand out academically and in your chosen endeavours.
Good luck, and don’t hesitate to post again!
Indeed, thank you ! I will tell you about it when I will have received all the answers.
Have a nice weekend !
Also: all of the major UK law firms have (paid, competitive) summer internships, and you do not have to be a law undergrad to get them (I know students who were studying Italian, History, Theology, etc who got them). There are short ones over the winter and spring vacs, but the big ones are for the summers. These will both give you a better idea if this is the path you want, and will stand to you when/if you apply to law school. It appears (but is certain) that even with Brexit that will continue to be an option for non-UK students who are enrolled in full-time courses in the UK
The UK has a process for students who don’t do law as undergraduates (a conversion course). Depending what happens with Brexit (admittedly not the most encouraging situation), that could possibly be a path as well.
I didn’t know that ! And you are absolutely right, they could be beneficial in many ways. I will try to search for them, thank you.
correction to post #30- " It appears (but is certain) that even with Brexit "- that should be it is *not certain
So I have made a few researches about internships in UK law firms, and I found that in the first year of a BA, what I could apply to was a “FIRST YEAR TWO-DAY INSIGHT SCHEME“, do you know about these ?
Also, do you know which UK law firms offer internships in the conditions you mentioned ?
There are a variety of short form schemes, from a couple of days up to a week or so (usually on short breaks, such as spring vac).
Most of the major law firms (and pretty much all of the top tiers) offer internships, all are paid and pretty much all are competitive. The competitive process generally goes: internship opps are posted, student sends in application, 1st cut is online testing, 2nd cut is group assessments, 3rd cut is interview (2 & 3 are usually done on the same day), offers are made.
Opps are posted through the universities, socs (student societies, aka clubs), etc. The same process also applies to investment banking and management consulting firms. It’s hard to miss internship season!
Alright, thank you !
