Aashna and I are joined by AnneMichaela MacDonald Brodaric. AnneMichaela and Aashna were serendipitous roommates in 1L, despite Aashna's attempts. We discuss living arrangements in law school and the importance of networking in general. It's an important part of professional life these days.

I'm joined by Ebunoluwa Akomolafe (or Ebun for short). We talk about the a lot of things related to law school in Osgoode, to the practice of law and to mooting in Oxford. Ebun confesses she doesn't have a favourite judge. I don't think Oxford will care.

Another episode with Aashna Mehta, Sara Mah and Rhea Sandhu, aka The Team. We talk about the process of interviewing. I know I've had a few episodes about jobs and interviews and "The Process" but you really can't have too much on this. It's important, right?

I'm joined by Duncan Davies, a returning guest on the show. Duncan is now nearing the end of first year law at Dal and talks to me about how it's all been. Bottom line: Property law is better than Criminal law (for him, not for me!).

I'm joined by two returnees, Aashna and Sara, and another 1L student from their team, Rhea Sandhu. (As I quickly learn, it's actually The Team.) We talk about life as a 2L, how it's both the same and different from 1L. And even a little bit about Thomas Hobbes.

Richard is joined again by Aashna Mehta and Sara Mah. We're all lamenting the end of the winter break. You only get three in law school and then everything changes, so make the most of them.

Richard is joined by Aashna Mehta, who was previously on the podcast in episode #120, and one of her good friends in law school, Sara Mah. Both were in his criminal law class in the fall of 2024. Friendship is such an important aspect of going to law school and we talk at length about that aspect.

We are joined by Duncan Davies, who has been admitted to Dalhousie Law school to start in the fall of 2025. Duncan and Richard know each other through his parents -- he's one of the few guests who is a prospective student. Duncan explains how he got to the position he is in now. It takes a lot of blood and sweat, but not too many tears.

Let Go

(If you want a copy of Duncan's song, feel free to send him a note -- he'd love to provide you with an MP3 version)

We are joined by Aashna Mehta, another 1L student from Richard's criminal law class in the fall of 2024. More trauma bonding with Rianna, as Aashna recounts her pre-exam meeting with Richard. Spoiler alert: she has no trouble with criminal law concepts, just with her coordination.

We are joined by Karthikeya (Karth) Gautam, a 1L student from Osgoode. Another one of Richard's criminal law students from 2024. Karth learned quickly that the "Paper Chase" version of law school is no longer (was it ever?) accurate. It's both better than that and worse than that.
