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.

122. It Makes You Tough
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.

121. Try, Try Again
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.

120. How to Meet with a Professor
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.

119. Shattering Ideas
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.
