What‘s Law Got To Do With It?121. Try, Try AgainWe 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.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: Let Go by Duncan Davies (If you wan...

What‘s Law Got To Do With It?120. How to Meet with a ProfessorWe 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.

What‘s Law Got To Do With It?119. Shattering IdeasWe 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.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

We talk about strategies for what to do after you write a law school exam. Rianna, as always, teaches Richard something new -- this time it's the notion of trauma-bonding. We debate whether that is a description of law school.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

Nathan seems to do just about everything, but still stresses the importance of having a school-life balance. It isn't exactly how he manages to achieve this, but he does.

In short, it's the first of two WLGTDWI celebrations!   Turns out, we were able to wrangle Felicity.

Things like Felicity's graduation, Richard's sabbatical, the pandemic, and the ennui that follows almost put a permanent end to the podcast. But it all changed when Richard was approached by a former student, Rianna Spence, asking to co-host. What joy! This episode introduces Rianna. It's a short one.

In it, we mainly talk about Zaf's incredible involvement in the Ukrainian air disaster case of January 2020. It's an example of the interesting things that law students can fall into. When we recorded it, there was no inkling of the further tragedies that would befall Ukraine.   I struggled as to whether we should post this episode at this time, but I decided to do so as long as it was accompanied by a warning.
