My score was 69. It is a bit of a blow that I got zero points for my age. :lol: :oldtimer:

once I graduate I will. BUT, I would pretty much have to redo law school once getting into Canada (the process is different but it's roughly 2-3 years of testing and red-tape jumping). I've thought about it; I have a lot of friends up there and I like the people, the culture, the hockey, and the wilderness. Oh well, maybe I can practice American law for a firm that does business with Canadian companies, but is based in Toronto...or something.
