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.

Richard is joined by his first co-host/guest combo -- Ethan Martin. Ethan is currently contemplating applying to law school, so on our scale, he is most likely a -1L. He's the perfect person to start off this new season as we talk all about what it is to think about going to law school.

Richard explains what he's doing and what he plans to do viz WLGTDWI. If you want to play a part in continuing this thing, shoot him an email and let him know: rhaigh@osgoode.yorku.ca. (Even if you aren't yet in law school, but want to go, there may be a role for you!)

Rufaida Hashmi and Emily Kim return for a second time, having been our guests in Episode #79. We continue our conversation about first year, focusing on the changes that occur in second term. Both give valuable advice to incoming students. Basically, don't listen to anyone (except this podcast, of course).

We are joined this episode by Megan Phyper, a 3L law student at Osgoode Hall Law School. Megan and Felicity were teammates on the Wilson Moot this year and the two of them discuss all things moot-related. Richard was their coach. Richard and Megan bond because they are both shy.

Nikolas Koschany makes a return appearance with us. Nikolas is a 1L at Osgoode, now known for their "What's Law Got to do With It" podcast song intro (but this time, we are putting it at the end as an outro just for their benefit). We continue our discussion about 1L law school life in general. The guest takes over the hosting and starts asking Richard too many questions.

We are joined this episode by two guests, Joey Galinsky and Ryan Delmar. They are the two founders of "Law School Life and Beyond", a blog, podcast, and social media enterprise dedicated to exploring the inner workings of law school life. Since our goals and missions are very much in sync, we discuss what it's like to try and dispel the myths of law schools. In fact, Richard worries that they will take us over (not really!).

Our guest is 1L Osgoode student Hafsah Memon. We're still going on about the first year, first term experience, this time focusing on exams. The first set of them (usually December, first year) are always a little scary and stressful. Two of us veterans give some good advice looking back from having done many of them; Hafsah tells it like it is from her much fresher perspective.

Rufaida Hashmi and Emily Kim are our guests today, both 1L students at Osgoode. We continue to discuss the first year, first term experience, continuing on from our conversation with Andrew last time. Both are surprised at how law school affects their eyes. Welcome to law.

Our guest today is Andrew O'Brien, a 1L student at Osgoode. Andrew discusses what it was like to complete his first term of 1L (partly in a pandemic, although Richard always wants it to be more generic). Then all three go on to discuss how to maintain an online profile when you are embarking on a professional career (albeit, Richard mainly listens since he has no online profile). The bottom line: boring people will excel in this new world!

Our guest today is Dante Trunzo, currently an aerospace engineer in Montreal but in September of this year, a 1L at McGill. (We refer to him as a 0L which we may ask him to patent/copyright/trademark/whatever). Richard and Felicity try to handhold him through the process of becoming a law student. Dante clearly doesn't need our help.

Christina Tassopolous is our guest today. She's a 1L student at Osgoode whom Richard taught in the fall term of 2020. Christina talks about how her first year has been going, why she joined student government and why, unlike Richard, she's an angel who belongs in law school. We have yet to determine where Felicity is on the rebel/angel scale.
