    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!     Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

    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.     Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/     Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It   What's Law Got to Do With It Music by Tina Turner; Lyrics by Nikolas Koschany

    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.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/     Music Attributions: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

    This is Part 2 of Alex Mulligan's report on the 2021 job interview process. As noted in episode #73, Alex is a 2L student at Osgoode. Today's episode is all about the second part of the process where candidates have longer interviews. Again, Alex and Felicity have a lot to say on the subject; Richard continues to simply tag along, although he coins a new term, OZI (which the others make fun of).   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

    Alex Mulligan, a 2L student at Osgoode, joins us today and for the following two episodes as we do a special series on the job interviews in 2021. Today's episode, Part 1, is all about the "OCI" process in Ontario, where employers and students get together for 17 minutes to decide if they'd like to get together for longer later. Richard is just along for the ride.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/     Music Attribution: What's Law Got to Do With It Music by Tina Turner; Lyrics by Nikolas Koschany   What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

    Our guest this episode is Erin McCready, a friend of Felicity's studying at Northeastern University School of Law in Boston. We first had Erin on the show in episode  #57, NUSOL v. MAGA, related to the 2020 US election. As we indicated then, that episode was actually Erin's second episode with us, but we simply had to launch it first because of the timing. We now go back to the future for Erin's first recording with us. We discuss what it's like to be a Canadian student at a US law school and Erin and Felicity re-connect over their Quidditch triumphs.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/     Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It
