Elle is a walking oxymoron. She stresses she is a lawyer, but never explains in detail what she does and gets very defensive when people want clarification. We never get lawyer stories, which are ok to share if the matter is inactive and details identifying the individual are left out. Instead her channel acts as a marketing platform for her Ali Express pearls and focuses on 'wifey' material topics.
Elle could be a great barrister since she has the knack for answering questions without giving a direct answer. When people ask her whether she is a lawyer, it is intrinsically implied that the person is asking whether she does lawyer work, not whether she has the qualifications or licence to practice. Instead, Elle always answers 'Yes, I am a practicing lawyer'. Sure, previously in the Law Society of BC, Elle was registered as a 'Practicing Lawyer' which means she can practice law, but in reality Elle does not (see explanation below). Also, it isn't hard to get the 'Practicing Lawyer' status; all you need is to pay the annual $2k ish yearly licence fee and fulfill some continuing studies CLE credits. Elle likely paid the $2k fee herself and used the 'work trips' as credits to fulfill most of the CLE requirements (yes, you can do that).
At her old job, Elle may have done the legwork (aka investigation) for proceedings, but had never represented her organization in court. She basically was a paralegal. I work with similar individuals like Elle in Vancouver: got LLBs in the UK, passed the credit transfer exams, articled, registered as practicing lawyers, but they work in a paralegal capacity. Their titles are paralegals, which is equivalent to Elle's 'investigator' title. Nothing wrong with being a paralegal, those coworkers of mine pull in a healthy 6-figure without the 'yearly 2000 hour' target real lawyers need to meet. However, never in a million years would those paralegals call themselves 'in-house counsels'.
