    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Junoon:</div><div class="quote_post">Me either. At this point, I have it instilled within me that I'm going to be a lawyer come hell or high water. By the way, what kind of law practice are planning on going to specifically? If I end up taking something like psychology, I'll probably aim for Criminal law, but my general aim right now is to get into civil law, more especially family law. I can't get into corporate law due to my lack of business courses and what not, plus I'm not exactly good with numbers. That leaves out Tort law, which I guess could be my other backup.</div>
    I'm most interested in criminal law, and I could see myself becoming a prosecutor or something like that. I definitely don't want to go into corporate law, even if that's where the money is. I have a cousin in NY that an immigration lawyer, and she said that if I went into a similar field we could open a joint firm. But, I'm not sure I'd find it that interesting and, the way I see it, there's enough brown immigration lawyers in the GTA as it is. Right now, I have a general idea of what I find interesting, but I'm waiting until I get into law school before I seriously think about it.

    My real dream though is to become a lawyer like Lionel Hutz and open a firm in a shopping mall called "I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm!"

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Junoon:</div><div class="quote_post">Since I'm lost on all the American colleges/Universities, I thought I'd open a topic regarding Canadian schools in this same thread.

    To any Canadians on this board, what schools do you go to/are planning to go to?

    I'm actually aiming for York or perhaps Ryerson, but it depends what path I want to go. I'm not sure what to take as an undergraduate before applying to law school, and that is my biggest problem. However, York offers things like Psychology, Social & Political Thought, Creative Writing, and Professional Writing as undergraduates, so I might venture into one of those. However, to any one going into law in this thread...would you reccomend taking a law course as an undergraduate? Cause York offers a "Law & Society" course as well with an undergraduate, and it transfers to a bachelors in Law (which you can obtain through Law school). However, I'm not sure because I have been told that I am quite a good writer and writing should definetly be one of my priorities...but I'm really not sure.</div>
    I'm in McMaster.
