First of all, I realize my question is not exactly about travelling, but I noticed that these kinds of topics have been discussed here in the past so I hope i’m not saying anything that would sound totally off topic.
I’m an Italian law student and in a year or so i’ll finish my program and receive my law degree. Law school lasts 5 years in Italy (it’s what we call a “magistrale a ciclo unico”, so bachelor + LLM combined) and in order to be qualified as a lawyer you then have to train as a “praticante” for 2 years in a law firm and pass the bar exam.
Since my boyfriend is Canadian (long story, believe me), our future plans will probably take us on the other side of the Ocean and that’s why I’m trying to understand whether becoming a lawyer in Canada is an option for me or if it truly is almost impossible, as everyone make it seem.
Is joining a Canadian Law School for 3 more years the only possible option? I would be willing to keep studying, that’s not really an issue, but economically it would be incredibly challenging for me to be able to afford it.
If any of you knows someone who went through a similar situation or is able to give an advice on this matter, please let me know. Thank you in advance! x
