If I want to be a lawyer, is it better if...?

If I want to be a lawyer,
1) is it better to learn, (study, go to school) outside of Canada? If yes/no, than why?
2) If i want to work on one subject (for example: murder) can I change subjects for the next case (for example: peodophiles) whithout having to go back to school???
Any information that you give me will be helpful...
THANKS!!!

It does matter where you go to school. Whether you're in Canada or not, the important thing to look at is the ranking of the law school itself. Those schools have well established networks and job recruiters are likely to flock there than the lesser known schools.

Also, lawyers are presumed generalists. I wouldn't say that formal education is needed to try a new specialization, but a few continuing education classes, on the job training and mentorships should help.
