Starting the long journey to law school. In the interest of time and money (I am mid thirties now) I have been looking into obtaining a law degree from the UK and taking the NCA exams upon return. Has anyone gone this route previously? Would it be a better transition to be called to the bar in the UK prior to returning to Canada? Thoughts and advice appreciated.

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.
