The 2L recruit can be a very stressful and sometimes even discouraging time for some students. For students who want to work in a large law firm or are dreaming of a specific firm, this podcast reminds students that there is more than one path to becoming a successful lawyer. Our host, Harleen Bhangoo, speaks to Corey Willard, who is now a partner at Gowling WLG.  In Corey's 2L recruit, he was unable to secure a position with a law firm. Instead, he spent his summer working and volunteering for various not-for-profit organizations and working at the House of Commons. This episode discusses his perspective on the 2L recruit and provides insight to students who are also struggling with securing a law firm position.
