I invite those making silly jokes about the Juris Doctor degree to do us a favour: 1. Sit for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and publish your scores on @X. 2. Apply for admission for the JD program at any leading law school in Canada such as the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School, McGill Faculty Law or UBC Law School and report the results. Alternatively, apply for admission to any leading Law School in the USA. Then report the decision. Admission to the study of law in North America routinely requires one to have a first degree, usually a 4-year honours with high GPA. Then an extremely high score in the LSAT, plus an accompanying essay. Law schools in North America often admit students with distinctions or 4 level GPAs and the 3-year study is far more rigorous than in the British system where high school graduates are admitted. Often, people with PhDs in other disciplines and graduates of Medicine and Engineering study law in North America. But it’s a 3-year degree on top of 4 years of an undergraduate degree—that’s 7 years of tertiary education. In Canada, you then must do articles of clerkship (the equivalent of pupilage) then successfully attending the Bar Admission Program, before writing and passing the Bar exams before being admitted and licensed to practice law. So, whereas we don’t want to comment on Ojwang’, those casting aspersions on North American legal education are either motivated by ignorance, envy or malice, or all of the above.
