So, You Want to Become a Lawyer ?

Here are some of the things you will need to do to achieve this goal:

1. Graduate with your high school diploma

Complete your high school education, regardless of your educational system, e.g. Ontario Grade 12, US Grade 12, GCE/GCSE at the A/AS level, CAPE, IB, etc.  

---

2. Attend university, with the goal of earning an undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree

You cannot enter Canadian law schools directly from high school. After finishing high school, continue on to university studies. Any university degree is good preparation for law school, e.g. BA, BSc, BBA, BComm, BEng. BMus, BPHE, BKin etc.

There are people at U of T law school who have degrees in engineering, biochemistry, English literature, political science, economics, music etc. For your undergraduate degree, select  the program that you will enjoy studying, since no subject is better than another for getting into law school. For applications to initial undergradute studies at the University of Toronto, please visit the undergraduate admissions webpage.

Finish your degree

Undergraduate degrees are typically designed to be completed in four years of full-time studies. In order to qualify to be accepted into law school, most law schools in Canada require the completion of at least three years of your degree or a completed degree. 

Even if the law school you are applying to does not require it, your application will be more competitive if you have completed your undergraduate degree. At the University of Toronto almost all law students have completed at least a four-year degree.  In recent years, approximately five applicants a year have been admitted without completing a four-year undergraduate degree.
