Summary:

Jurisprudence dealing with Bar Courses examined. Claimant has a history of working part-time while attending law school. He even worked for the very Law Society which runs the course. However, a work history while going to school is not determinative in this case. He cannot practice law in Ontario without first successfully completing the Bar Course; therefore, any jobs applied for as counsel imply an intention to complete the course. Given this, I am not convinced that he viewed the successful completion of the course as anything but his primary concern.
