One thing that is very appealing about studying law in UCC for someone from North America is that the schools don’t require your Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score. I ended up applying to UCC because it was a two-year programme instead of a four-year programme.
In addition to the group of friends in the School of Law, I joined the UCC Hockey and UCC Lacrosse teams. UCC and Cork, overall, have a great social and sports scene. Some of the best friends I made during my time in Cork were through these clubs and my fondest memories of Ireland are being a part of those teams.
After graduating from UCC, I had to do a year of NCA exams to have my degree accredited in Canada and then a year of articling before becoming a lawyer. I was recently called to the Bar in Manitoba in November 2021. I am now working for Eric Wach Law Corporation as a criminal defence lawyer.
