For those planning on writing both barrister and solicitor exams in June, have you started with Solicitor prep yet 😭

I study full-time, and I keep telling myself I’m going to move on from barrister or I’m going to do barrister in the day and solicitor in the evening, but by the time I look at the clock it’s evening and I feel like I haven’t done much of barrister (although I have) but it doesn’t feel like enough.

I’ve been doing practice questions for the barrister exam and some days just getting through 20 questions and then reviewing takes up my whole day and my anxiety makes it feel like I haven’t done much and then my brain says keep going and do solicitor tomorrow.. it’s a never ending cycle and I’m freaking out.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying for the Ontario Bar Exam and I’m hoping to be called to the bar in October 2026 if all goes as planned.

I’m actively seeking an articling position in personal injury law, or any opportunity to gain hands-on exposure (including volunteer or shadowing roles) within a PI firm in the GTA. I’m very flexible with location and more than willing to commute.

Personal injury is an area I’ve been genuinely interested in for a long time, both academically and personally, and I’m eager to learn the practical side of the work from client interaction to file management and litigation support.

I’ve found that PI opportunities don’t come up as frequently as other areas, so I wanted to reach out here in case anyone has advice, connections, or leads. Even the chance to speak with someone practicing in this area would mean a lot.

I’m happy to share my resume and background via DM.

Thanks so much in advance!
