We are joined by Nathan Williams, a 2L student at Windsor Law. 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. Including forming a wine club at the law school -- Richard wants Rianna to do the same at Osgoode.

Erik Glasford returns to talk to us about the first months of law school and how it changes a person. Some things are expected, some not. Making new friends fits the first category; all that reading is in the second.

We just can't get enough of Lil. This time she thinks about what it means to be a young lawyer, and how to find your place in the profession. Some luck, some perseverance and some smarts. And don't forget that you will have forgotten some things, like your civil procedure class years ago! (And thanks to Felicity for the perfect title!)

Richard and Rianna have another chat with Jinee Chong, this time about ethnicity, diversity and fitting in at law school. It can be challenging, but can also be rewarding.

The return of Morgan Deiseroth and Michael Conroy, this time to talk about what it is like to be Americans coming to law school in Canada. There's a significant number of Canadians going to law school outside of Canada, but the numbers of Americans coming to law school in Canada is tiny. Morgan and Michael bring their perspective on why that is, and why Canada is so great. Maybe they will start a trend…

Our guest today is Will Graham, an Osgoode student who recently finished first year. Rianna (on the road like a rock star) and I have a great discussion with Will about 1L. It's all about the highs and a little bit about the lows.

Our guest today is Dante Trunzo, another former guest of WLGTDWI who wanted to come back and let us know how things are going. We couldn't refuse! We talk about Dante's experience of law school in general, of going to McGill in particular, and what he plans to do now that he's finished.

Richard and Rianna (who's in a car recording this podcast!) chat with Jinee Chong, a student in Richard's Public and Constitutional law class. Jinee hails from Edmonton, and so she and Richard also share growing up in the same province. We talk about what it's like to 'come from away' to go to law school. We all agree it's a good thing.

Our guests today (two!) are Michael Conroy and Morgan Deiseroth, two students who Richard taught in his Public and Constitutional Law class. Early on in September they were very open about being a couple coming to law school. While it may not be novel to have couples forming during law school, it's uncommon to arrive that way. We discuss how it all works. Turns out, exceptionally well.

What do you do for a 100th episode celebration? Bring back Adam, of course!
It's almost as if he never left. Adam forgets to do his readings, but gives some excellent advice about how the legal profession depends on making relationships, and then finally reveals a TV show about law that he watches. It's a fitting tribute.

For our 99th episode, we had to attempt getting either of the previous co-hosts, Felicity Radan or Adam Lachance, back. And whoever we had for this episode, we'll do everything in our power to have the other for the 100th. In short, it's the first of two WLGTDWI celebrations!
Turns out, we were able to wrangle Felicity. She makes a typically bold return, regaling us with how she's been and what she's done since leaving the fold, including clerking, moving to Vancouver and being prepared (for the unprepared). (At the same time, claiming to be the best co-host Richard has had!)

It's our first new guest since the re-launch. Rianna and Richard talk to Erik Glasford, a section colleague of Rianna's who also took Criminal Law from Richard. Erik has a long history of mooting -- well before law school -- and he shares his love of it with the team. It turns out that it is never too early to start thinking about law!

Richard wanted to rekindle some old memories to relaunch the podcast. Who better to help out than the very first guest Adam and Richard had back in September, 2018, Lil Cadieux-Shaw? We catch up with Lil as she reflects back on what she's learned since leaving law school and what she can impart to new and prospective law students. A lot, it turns out.

WE'RE BACK! It's been 2 years since the last episode. 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. But please stay tuned as we have a lot more to come.

I'm joined by Kristen Shorer, who has just finished her first year at University of Toronto law school. Kristen did some pro bono work with Richard, and so they discuss the project, what it's like to be at U of T, and how she coped. (Hint: she did her readings!)

Richard is joined by Zafir Jetha-Rattani, an Osgoode student who appeared on an earlier episode (#93). This episode was recorded last year. 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. You may wish to avoid listening if you find the current situation in Ukraine too disturbing.

Richard is joined by four of his students from our constitutional law class of 2019-20. Two are known to the podcast -- Dylan Yan and Kaliopi (Kali) Dimitrakoudis -- and two are new -- Shae-Lynn Chung and Zafir (Zaf) Jetha-Rattani. It's a longish episode because the five of us have so much to talk about: you might say that the episode has nothing to do with law school, and it has everything to do with law school.
(And if you want to listen to the original Dylan Yan property law episode referred to in the show, it is #61, "Taking Photos for Property Law.")

Frederic Diebel continues as a co-host/guest for his second episode (after the usual WLGTDWI Holiday Break). We continue our discussion about the differences of a small, northern university law school, the interests of its students, and how rankings figure in law school reputation.
