Why is it a good idea to grant graduates of ABA-accredited law schools equal access to the Canadian licensing system?
Graduates of ABA-approved law schools are educated equivalently to graduates of Canadian law schools – Law schools in both Canada and the United States feature similar teaching methods and philosophies, similar skill development, and similarly high standards; Current Ontario bar admission regulations discriminate against ABA-educated law students; removing these restrictions would raise the quality of service in the Ontario legal market; and Graduates of most common law schools are given open access to the New York bar, and New York legal practice thrives under this policy.
