We are pleased to announce that due to the success of our Law School 101 Workshop, led by our law consultant Kerry Sheppard, we will be facilitating individual appointments with Kerry for post-secondary students who are interested in learning more about their law school options. One student found the session so informative, they wrote us to say “Kerry was very informative and helpful. He covered a lot of information you cannot find online or get from an admissions advisor as well as, answering many of my questions. As a result, much of my uncertainty has diminished.”
As Options Solutions’ Law School Education Consultant, Kerry Sheppard has the experience and perspective to help post-secondary students assess the pros and cons of a legal career, to identify their law school options, and to navigate the admissions process. From his many years as a lawyer and recruiter, he has significant knowledge about law schools in Canada and abroad, and a unique insight about the opportunities available to post-secondary students thinking about a career in law.
Kerry graduated from the University of Victoria Law School in 1986, and was called to the British Columbia Bar in 1987. In his nearly 30 years as a lawyer, Kerry has practiced both as a solicitor and as a litigator. He has practiced both in a large national firm and in a smaller “boutique” firm, and he has practiced as in-house counsel both in the public sector (with the Public Guardian & Trustee of British Columbia) and in the private sector with The Law Society of British Columbia. Since 2010, Kerry has been the Director of Student Programs for a highly-respected national firm. In that role, he recruits law students to article with the firm, and travels regularly to Canadian law schools to conduct interviews and make presentations.
