The trio talk about creativity in law and alternative approaches to using the transferable skills developed in law school.
Richard plays a clip about the "Vibe" of the Australian Constitution and speaks to his time in Australia with Charlotte. Charlotte talks about her love for the arts and its impact on her non-traditional legal career. Adam thinks podcasts are the new blog and tries to dive into the nitty gritty of meeting one's significant other at law school.
