Is TMU law considered a bad school for employment?
I currently have one offer but as an ottawa resident if I was forced to decide between Uottawa, TMU and Queens I know everyone would scream Queens or Uottawa.
However, I could potentially save the cost of rent overall in Toronto since I have a family investment there (fully owned). My wife would also have probably more job opportunities in Toronto as a CPA, and we even have daycare stuff ready for my daughter.
My goal is not to do big law, but I would like to work at a mid sized firm. Not exactly sure what law though.
I have 5 years of federal government experience in national defence which again screams Ottawa law school, but saving rent for 3 years is something that has been nagging at me.
I’m also waiting on Queens as well (which seems more like a long shot), but I’d appreciate advice from folks who’ve already been through the process.
Save rent for 3 years or go to a school with more reputation?
