In The Case for Law School, father-daughter duo Victoria and Christopher C. Nicholls aim to explain what applying to and attending law school really involves today.

It includes the history of the Canadian common law system and practical information on legal education. Carefully exploring the law school application process and offering a glimpse of what an aspiring law student might encounter in a Canadian law school classroom, this text includes niche insight into thinking like a lawyer and the Socratic method, the role of statutory interpretation, and what qualifying as a lawyer in Canada really requires.
Whether you're already certain or are still on the fence, this book presents a reasonable and grounded guide for making a life-changing career choice. Practical and personable, the authors make The Case for Law School, but only you can be the judge of whether or not it's right for you.
