[QUOTE="jmosk99, post: 107093, member: 20802"] That all sounds really cool. Thanks for that. My background is in Kinesiology (graduated from Western last June). Bit of a long story, but essentially in Grade 11 first semester I had an unbelievable Intro to Canadian Law teacher (former lawyer, really smart critical thinker) who really motivated me to consider studying law. But then in second semester of that same year I had an even more incredible biology teacher (brilliant, funny, and just gifted in digesting complex info and communicating it). He got me interested in studying sciences at university, especially b/c I enjoyed them and was good at them at the high school level. Western Kinesiology is a unique program b/c its the only Kin program in Canada that allows you to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts in Kin, or a Bachelor of Science in Kin. This way if you're unsure whether you want to go full-on with the hard sciences, there's more flexibility to take liberal arts courses (while still taking the required sciencey courses like anatomy/physiology - which I loved). And so I did that, a BA in Kin, after realizing in my first year that I would probably enjoy and better excel in essay/writing liberal arts courses than Chemistry/Biology/Statistics. And so I decided to take both Arts and Sciences courses (best of both worlds) at Western. So, to answer your question, I guess on paper I'm a career changer, but I've always maintained a longing for law (but still comfortable with sciences). And yes I do have legal experience (also business experience before that, as an admin assistant in a corporate office). I was a Court Reporter for Ontario's Ministry of the AG this past summer. I sat in on criminal law cases to manage the court record of trials/bail hearings/pre-lims, ensuring that participants could hear each other and that the record was in fact recording. Also had to make annotations based on what was being said in court. Really great job as I got exposed to the litigation process - a court-side seat no pun intended :) . This is a key reason for why I'm keen on exploring dispute resolution... and HSF is that place to do so. Apologies for the long message, just wanted to give context. [/QUOTE]
