Confident In Canada? Maybe Not This Year.

It looks like our little legal meltdown is spreading fear and decreased job prospects to our neighbors up north. A tipster reports that rising 2Ls at McGill Law School are having the same problems as schools in the states:

[A]t McGill this year, only 4 firms are participating in OCIs (Paul Weiss; Ropes; MoFo; Chadbourne Parke) … 2 years ago, there were 24 or 25 (and last year had about 19). I guess the firms don’t want to be paying the extra money for visas, etc. for Canadian students.

I know things have been tough for lots of top American law schools, but imagine only have four firms to interview with. That’s not competition, its a deathmatch between you and every other student.
Good luck, Canucks. You might not get legal jobs in America, but apparently you’ll always have a health care system that works better than ours.
