If you are thinking about law school – and becoming a lawyer – after your undergraduate studies, we can help with the road ahead: the pros (and cons) of a career in law, where to attend law school, the law school admission process, and searching for an articling position after law school. There is a lot to consider, and our Law School Consultant, Kerry Sheppard, will host an interactive discussion of topics relating to the journey from your undergraduate studies to the practice of law.  

Kerry attended the University of Victoria for his undergraduate studies (BA, 1983) and for law school (LLB, 1986), and he was called to the Bar in British Columbia in 1987. In his many years as a lawyer, Kerry practiced as a solicitor and as a litigator, and he was in-house counsel with both The Law Society of BC and the Office of the Public Guardian & Trustee. He was also, for nine years, the Director of Student Programs for a large international law firm and, in that role, he reviewed approximately 4,500 resumes and conducted more than 1,500 student interviews. Kerry has been Options Solutions’ Law School Consultant since 2015, and he works with undergraduate students seeking admission to law school, and with current law students seeking articling positions following completion of law school.
