Fulfilled my Dreams to Study Law in the UK

CLFA helped me to fulfill two dreams: that I would study law, and that I would study law in England. CLFA is a fantastic service–an absolute must if one has an interest in pursuing their legal studies in England. 

Their experienced staff and their resources have saved me countless hours of guesswork and frustration. In fact, CLFA has effectively removed all the guess-work a Canadian student would have to do in order to study law in England, allowing the student to focus on the most important, more personal components of the application, which CLFA will also advise upon. 

If studying Law in England is what you want to do then CLFA will help you get there.

The courses were really interesting

I found out about the University of Dundee through the University League Tables since they are consistently ranked in the top 10 for law each year. I decided to come here because I liked that the class sizes were a lot smaller than other universities for law which I find is a better learning environment for myself. I also liked the different courses on offer, such as the Telders module which allows you to compete in an international mooting competition.

How would you describe your time studying here?

I really enjoyed it. I met a lot of different people and got to experience the UK way of life which!

What were the best things about your course?

The best things about my course were probably the related extracurriculars such as mooting and the advocacy skills that I learnt. The courses were really interesting as well and I really got to know my professors.

What are the best things about the University of Dundee?

The best thing I would say is the size, its great since you don't feel like a number, which is how some other universities can make you feel if they are quite large.

What are the best things about the city of Dundee?

The city is great! Lots of things to do around the city center, nice restaurants and cocktail bars! It’s big enough that there are things to do but not so big as to provide a constant distraction from your studies.

What is your favourite memory about studying here?

I would probably say some of the mooting competitions with my two mooting partners for ESU and Inner Temple. It was a great way to explore the country while also bonding with my fellow law students!

What did you like the most about the facilities and activities available to you on campus, e.g. the sports facilities, the library, the Student's Association etc.?

I really love how each school has their own lounge. They're great for studying in but also great place to just catch up with people, have lunch etc! They're also good for when the library gets busy at exam time!

What work or further study have you been doing since graduation?

I am currently studying at the University of Law in Leeds and am taking the Barristers Practice Course LLM with the litigation program.

What has your University of Dundee degree given you, and how has studying here prepared you for life after graduation?

It's given me confidence in my advocacy skills which has helped prepare me for a career at the English & Welsh Bar.

Five Stars to Canada Law from Abroad!

I will be forever grateful for the assistance and support that my advisor, and Canada Law From Abroad, has given me since reaching out to them last year.

They have made this experience of applying to law school overseas so trouble-free that I would undoubtedly recommend their services to anyone considering studying law. My advisor answered all of my questions and set any worries I may have had, to rest. My advisor gave me all of the information I needed to be set up for success! I could not have done it without her! Nine months later since first considering to apply, I write you this, having obtained an unconditional offer from my top choice university, where I will be starting my program in just a few short months.

Thank you Canada Law From Abroad for all your help and support!

Best decision you will make!

I was a bit skeptical when I first started this process. How could applying to Law be this easy and stress free?! Plus - no costs attached for their services (an added bonus).  

I had Vivian as an adviser through Canada Law From Abroad and it has been the best process since the beginning. I was able to get all the information I needed and ask a million questions to ease my mind. Vivian always provided prompt responses to my questions. Canada Law From Abroad helps you with the entire application process, including contacting professors for your reference letters, and making sure you apply to schools that are best suited for your grade levels. They are there to help you all the way through and I'm thrilled to say I will be accepting an offer from City, University of London!  

Don't think twice about having Canada Law From Abroad assist you with your choice to study Law in the UK! I have absolutely no complaints, and I'm sure you will have the same experience that I did.

Stress free application process

I would like to thank Canada Law From Abroad, especially Vivian for all the help and guidance this past year. My application process was well guided and stress free. I am moving to London to start law school in ten days and I cannot thank Vivian enough.

You're in Good Hands!

I was so lucky to have met Vivian at a Go Global Fair where she enthusiastically answered my exhaustive list of questions about studying in the UK as a Canadian. Prior to the fair I had no idea that services like this existed, and especially free of charge! CLFA matches you with an adviser, sends step by step explanations of different parts of the application process and reminders of upcoming important dates.

After Vivian became my adviser she helped me with choosing a school by explaining the distinctions between the different programs while addressing my specific interests. She even recommended residences based on her personal experience. Vivian provided helpful advice after reading my personal statement and checked over my UCAS application making the whole process as smooth as possible. She went above and beyond my expectations of an adviser by touching base with the schools’ admissions departments when needed, doing a fantastic job at explaining how to obtain documents, and always replying to emails in a timely fashion (sometimes within the hour!). 

When it came time to apply for a Tier 4 Visa Vivian sent relevant and up to date information compiled from official UK websites, making the application a lot easier to understand. The CLFA experience always felt simple and personal. Vivian was friendly and supportive every step of the way. She not only gave me the confidence to pick law schools from across the ocean but also the comfort of talking to someone who has gone through the whole process herself. 

I’m very grateful to the whole CLFA team, especially when I think of how many students they have helped achieve their goals of studying abroad. I now recommend CLFA to absolutely everyone who shows an interest in law school!

Can't wait to study in England

My name is Airianna and I’m just writing to express my gratitude for all of your assistance. Between the application and my many questions, you were extremely helpful.

I have decided to take my offer from City University for their Graduate Entry LLB. I’m very excited and cannot wait to be in England studying.

If it was not for CLFA I would not be going to law school this year. I would have waited, possibly working a year or working towards a different unnecessary degree before pursuing law.

Thus, thank you so very much!

LLM Application Process

Vivian Mak from Canada Law From Abroad was excellent! At first glance, applying as a non-lawyer into a LLM program was very daunting for me. 

Once I conducted research and got into contact with Vivian my experience and efficiency of application was expedited to a service level that I couldn't believe. Her knowledge of the application process and experience was undoubtedly one of the only reasons as a non-lawyer I was able to get accepted. 

I would highly recommend Vivian to anyone and in fact, already have had conversations with colleagues attempting to move forward in their education endeavors.

Organized, Resourceful and Knowledgeable

Undertaking the decision to apply to Law School in England through CLFA was the best decision I made. Not only was I provided a personal consultant who helped me step by step, starting with the application process until departure. I had the security that most students do not have, access to insider information and advice from students/ advisors who have completed their LLB’s or LLM’s in England at the finest of Universities. CLFA as an association is organized, resourceful and knowledgeable.

My advisor was able to keep me on track, steer me in the right direction and offer options that were catered to my individual needs. I must express the value CLFA has brought to my experience of applying to Law School. I had the opportunity to attend the Pre-Departure Networking Event that was hosted, I am appreciative for the valuable information I retained and the fellow contacts I was able to meet.

I can proudly say that, this year I will be entering into the graduate entry GE LLB, studying in the heart of London, thanks to CLFA! 

I strongly believe that law is a central facet to the functioning of society and now I can join the legal profession as I embark on this new and challenging enterprise.

As Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote, "If a man is tired of London, he is tired of life"
