Ganado in Session is back just in time for students preparing to take the next academic step. This episode is dedicated to one of the most important milestones in a law students' journey: choosing a dissertation/thesis topic.

Hosted by Yasmine Ellul and Krista Refalo, both advocates within Ganado’s Dispute Resolution team, they offer a practical and relatable discussion drawn from their own academic experiences. Together, they guide students through the process of identifying a field of interest, narrowing it into a focused and researchable topic, and crafting a clear and effective dissertation title.

The discussion explores 3 key considerations:

• How to choose a dissertation field without feeling locked into a lifelong career path;
• The importance of specificity and manageability when narrowing a topic; and
• Common pitfalls, including topics that are too broad or too under-researched

The episode also highlights the value of supervisors’ guidance, the reality that research topics often change over time, and the importance of starting early while remaining flexible throughout the process.
