16. From the Grave - Myths Revisited ... Again
Sunday Feb 24, 2019
Sunday Feb 24, 2019
Richard and Adam are joined by Ayah Sharari, returning guest and 2L student at Osgoode. They head back to their roots and discuss more law school "myths", such as:
"Students who have relatives who are lawyers have an advantage"
"Students who ask the most questions and speak the most in class do the best"
"There are certain courses I must take to pass the Bar Admission course"
Adam tells about the unfortunate time he whistled to get a professor's attention. Ayah and Richard share their favourite student hypotheticals. Ayah manages to bring the conversation to the 2003 hit single "Crazy Frog".
