Law school is actually one of the fields that rarely looks at entrance scholarships for admission (with the exception of UofT/UVic).

I don't disagree that those that show an aptitude/interest in something like debate would be interested in becoming a lawyer later.
Private debate clubs?

I honestly never heard of those. I didn't know they were a thing.

I'm not going to humble brag about my accomplishments/experience, but that is 100% news to me. Are they a new thing? Have they started up over the last 10-15 years? Not to derail I'm genuinely curious (DM me rather than keep this derailment going).
