Students say going back to pen and paper after years taking tests on a screen will be a challenging shift. Two third-year classes at Victoria University have been told they'll be handwriting their upcoming exams, after concerns it won't be possible to prevent cheating with AI. Are they being disadvantaged, or should university students be expected to be able to write freehand? Kate Green reports.

Reality is beginning to sink in for Tréchelle Bunn following a surreal couple of weeks that saw her wrap up her second year of law school, claim an Indspire Award and become the youngest and first female chief of Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation.

Victoria University law students are being told that some of their exams will now have to be handwritten, to prevent against the threat of AI cheating from laptops. Victoria University student association president Liban Ali spoke to Alexa Cook. Briony James says the university is investigating some technology which could guard AI embedded technology.

Juggling university life, work commitments, and social activities seems like an impossible task for many law students. However, Aaron Lee argues that with the right strategies, law students can effectively manage their studies without compromising other important aspects of their lives. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Aaron Lee, a fourth-year commerce and law student at the University of NSW and a paralegal in personal injury law, about how his interest in problem solving and overcoming challenges inspired his pursuit of a legal career, his personal experience with burnout and how it has fuelled his passion for promoting a balanced lifestyle among law students, how burnout begins long before entering the legal profession but also during university, and the impact it can have on law students early in their careers. Lee also shares the strategies he has personally implemented to manage and prevent burnout, reveals that he divides his day into three distinct mini-days to create a more balanced lifestyle, explains what this breakdown looks like in a practical sense, emphasises why it is crucial for law students to prioritise a healthy, balanced lifestyle, explores the challenges that law students face in achieving this balance, discusses whether universities should take a more active role in promoting wellbeing among their students, and addresses the common misconception that prioritising other aspects of life will negatively impact academic performance.

Show Notes: Rebecca Hollander-Blumoff shares her journey from college to law school. After deferring her law school for a year, she spent a year in Spain to gain language and cultural experience. She then went to law school in Cambridge and clerked for a federal judge in New York before going into practice. Rebecca was initially interested in becoming a federal prosecutor but realized she first had to go into practice.  She worked for a small boutique litigation firm that did about 60% white collar criminal defense and about 40% civil litigation. While she loved being a counselor to her clients, and a person who a client could call, day in, day out, she found the law firm's hierarchy unappealing. The Psychology of Negotiation, a PhD., and Teaching Rebecca decided to pursue a PhD in Social Psychology to study the psychology of negotiation. She talks about negotiation in law, and she began taking classes in NYU's master's program and eventually obtained a PhD in Social Psychology with a dissertation on procedural justice in negotiation. She taught in the lawyering program at NYU and was an adjunct at Seton Hall in New Jersey teaching negotiation. After obtaining her PhD, she went on the job market for academia; she got a position at Washington University in Saint Louis. Rebecca has been teaching at Washington University in Saint Louis since 2006. She teaches various core classes, including civil procedure, federal courts, law and psychology, negotiation, negotiation for executive education, and has also developed a course in women's leadership and negotiation. She has worked for groups like the Brookings Institution and the Rodel Institute. Women's Negotiation and Navigating Stereotypes Rebecca's approach to teaching women's negotiation is not about focusing on gender differences but rather on understanding the research that informs her approach. She believes that women need to be armed with knowledge about the effects of gender, culture, and race on negotiation. This knowledge can help them navigate through stereotypes and roadblocks that may arise in negotiations. In her classes, she also discusses the research that is relevant to everyone, not just women, and mentions the issue of different perceptions of men and women in and on negotiations, and how behavior of men and women is perceived differently. The discussion also touches on the misconception that some people are born good negotiators and others are bad at it. This is a misconception that can hinder effective negotiation. The best way to think about negotiation is as an experience that can be prepared for and analyzed from both structural and interpersonal perspectives. This involves considering possibilities, actions to take if negotiations don't work out, and the interpersonal elements present. Negotiation and Problem-solving Rebecca mentions that negotiation is often seen as adversarial, but it is actually more about strategically problem-solving to increase the size of the pie and generate low-cost but high-value outcomes for both parties. Examples of negotiations that are not adversarial include family law, business contracts, and reputational effects. Negotiations can have broader implications, as people may still be in each other's lives after the negotiation. The key piece that students often overlook is the relational aspect of negotiations. In negotiations, parties are not in front of a judge, and the outcome must be decent for both parties. For example, in a negotiation for a new salary or project, one person has all the power, but the decision by fiat can lead to less positive results over time, less employee retention, and less positive feelings about the project. In real-world situations, negotiations can have other elements and dimensions available. Lawyers should question their assumptions and think about the best end goal for their clients. They should also consider the potential negative consequences of their actions and the impact on their reputation and business relationships. Negotiations in Practice The conversation turns to the dynamic between attorneys and clients in family law negotiations. Research has shown that when lawyers experience fairness in negotiation, they are more likely to recommend the agreed-upon outcome to their clients, believing it forms the basis for a better long-term agreement. However, the client is not in the room, and the lawyer may manipulate the client's desire for fair process and present things differently to the client based on what they think might happen. This can lead to a gap between what the lawyer is experiencing and what the client is experiencing. Research by a professor at UC Davis has found that one of the most desirable forms of dispute resolution for regular people is negotiation by their lawyer while the client is present in the room. This could reduce the dissonance between the lawyer and the client, potentially leading to better negotiation outcomes. A Year in Madrid Rebecca recounts her experience in Madrid after college, where she lived with a family for most of the year, a difficult but interesting experience. She studied at the Complutense University, where she participated in a Hispanic studies program, which taught history, language, grammar, and art in Spanish. The program was an international one, and the students from around the world were taught in Spanish. Despite the initial loneliness and lack of familiarity, Rebecca found it fascinating and eventually moved into an apartment with friends. She found that Madrid was a large city, but not warm and fuzzy, and it was a great place to live. A Passionate and Adventurous Baker Rebecca is a passionate baker She enjoys sharing her creative side with her students, who are always happy when she bakes for them. In her home life, she has three boys and two nephews who live nearby, making the house full of baked good eaters. Baking provides a time to disconnect from the stress of professional life and connect with the world through the act of baking. One of her favorite projects was when she baked 12 cakes of Christmas based on the 12 days of Christmas.  She also used cooking as a project to open her children's horizons to different cultures and ideas, especially when her kids were younger. They would research a country and make a whole meal of that country's cuisine, usually with a baked dessert. One of her favorite baked goods is a Kringle, made from an Estonian recipe. Her oldest child also fell in love with the Mongolian beef patty, a dish made from a dough of flour and water wrapped around ground beef. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Rebecca took Justice as a freshman and ironically found it to be one of her least favorite classes. However, she enjoyed her classes in the history and literature concentration.  She also took a phenomenal French literature class and enjoyed a class on modern poetry, which she likens to the study of law, as every word and construction has a reason or purpose.

Many students at elite law schools end up working in Big Law for at least a spell. The Trump administration's attacks on the industry, and deals with some of its top players, are making the choice of where to start their careers much more complicated. Students are stuck between two very uncertain options: go to a firm that struck a deal with the White House, despite concerns about a lack of principles; or, go to a firm that's fighting Trump in court, despite concerns about the firm remaining financial stable. Bloomberg News reporter Claire Ballentine wrote about how students are making these tough choices and she speaks with Bloomberg Law editor Jessie Kokrda Kamens on this episode of our podcast, On The Merits. Ballentine talks about how some law students are organizing to help each other make a decision and how the massive debt loads many of them shoulder are factoring in.

Brennan is a current 3L at the University of Georgia Law School. Brennan's journey is just getting underway but is full of amazing insights about the Law School experience, while still fresh in the mind. Brennan and I started before Law School, during his time at UPenn. He would explore many different routes before deciding on Law, but his inspiration for Law School came before arriving at UPenn. His late father was a prosecutor and family law attorney, so Brennan was surrounded by the law at a young age. He always questioned the law and was interested in the wall between those in the legal world and everyday people.We then moved to Brennan's first year of Law School, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and understood as well, that he was not going to enjoy and love every second of it. Brennan loved the structure it brought to his life, and accepted and was ok with doing it for hours on end every week, always having goals in mind. Brennan then spoke about his work experiences throughout Law School, focusing on a topic we talk about with every Law Student and Lawyer who comes on the podcast, finding out what they want to do with the law, which is important, but especially finding out what he did not want to do with the law, in terms of specialization. Finally, Brennan and I would look towards the future, where, after being a summer associate at Kirkland & Ellis this past summer, Brennan will be returning there post-graduation, so a huge congratulations to him! This episode with Brennan is wide-ranging in topics but also full of wisdom and advice about achieving success at any Law School!Brennan's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brennanroseRhetoric's Moot Court Madness Competition registration is now live, with a grand prize of $5,000!

It's no secret that substance abuse among lawyers is more common than we admit. Scott Spradley spent nearly four decades grappling with alcohol addiction, a struggle that cost him dearly, including the end of his marriage. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Scott shares his journey from denial to self-awareness and finally embracing change after realizing that moderation was not the answer. His story is a personal triumph and a beacon of hope for many in the legal profession who face similar challenges. We explore how societal expectations can often camouflage addiction and the critical need to develop healthier coping strategies. Scott recounts the pivotal moments that led to his recovery, including an honest confrontation with an addiction therapist and the decision to enter an inpatient treatment facility. Scott opens up about the difficult but necessary transition to sobriety, emphasizing the resilience and determination required to maintain it. His candid insights into the first year of recovery, supported by daily AA meetings and new passions like photography, provide practical guidance for anyone looking to reclaim their life from the grips of addiction. Scott's journey highlights the importance of personal resolve, the power of community, and unexpected support. The episode underscores a touching gesture from a professional rival, Peter Hill, who managed Scott's practice during his rehab without expecting anything in return. This act of compassion exemplifies the camaraderie and support within the legal community, proving that empathy can foster profound change even in competitive fields. Scott's dedication to helping others find their path to self-awareness and sobriety exemplifies the enduring impact of kindness and community support. In this episode, you will hear: Scott Spradley's personal journey from alcohol addiction to recovery and the impact on his professional and personal life Challenges and prevalence of addiction within the legal profession, emphasizing societal norms and pressures Key moments of self-realization and acceptance leading to Scott's decision to seek inpatient treatment The critical role of community support and empathy in recovery, highlighted by a rival attorney's generous gesture Scott's transition to sobriety, supported by AA meetings and new hobbies like photography The importance of self-awareness, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and confronting underlying issues Scott's commitment to helping others in the legal community navigate their own paths to sobriety and self-awareness Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Ben's journey to Law School and the Law, takes us from Law School graduate to lawyer, then from Australia to London, and now Texas becoming a Pre-law and professional development expert.

Ben would spend 4 years in London at TLT, and not enjoying everything, he decided to head off to the United States of America, more specifically, to Baylor University, becoming the Pre-Law Program Manager. After 5 years as the Pre-law Program Manager at Baylor, this would lead Ben to hang his shingle, Founding PreLawPro in 2022. Ben would speak at length about PreLawPro where he focuses on helping students with the JD and LLMs admissions process, and professional development for Pre-Law, Law students, and early Legal Professionals.

This Day in Legal History: Harlan F. Stone Appears Before Senate Judiciary CommitteeOn January 28, 1925, Harlan Fiske Stone became the first U.S. Supreme Court nominee to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. This marked a significant turning point in the judicial confirmation process, as prior nominees were not required to appear in person. Stone, a former Attorney General and respected legal scholar, was nominated by President Calvin Coolidge to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. The decision to have him testify was unprecedented and came in response to concerns raised about his political independence and potential ties to Wall Street interests.  During his appearance, Stone assured the committee of his commitment to judicial impartiality and independence. He addressed questions about his legal philosophy, his past work, and the role of the judiciary in upholding the Constitution. His calm demeanor and straightforward responses helped to dispel doubts and earned him bipartisan support. The hearing was also held publicly, setting a new standard of transparency in the confirmation process.  Stone's testimony contributed to his swift confirmation as an Associate Justice by the Senate, where he served with distinction. Later, in 1941, he became the Chief Justice of the United States, further cementing his legacy as one of the nation's most respected jurists. This event set a precedent that has since become a critical part of the Supreme Court nomination process, allowing the Senate and the public to scrutinize nominees more thoroughly.  The decision to include nominee testimony is seen as a key development in ensuring accountability and public trust in the judiciary. Stone's appearance before the committee reflected a shift toward greater transparency in government, a principle that continues to shape the confirmation process today.A transgender inmate, identified as "Maria Moe," has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's executive order mandating federal recognition of only two unchangeable biological sexes. The order requires transgender women to be housed in men's prisons and ends funding for gender-affirming medical care for incarcerated individuals. The lawsuit, filed in Boston federal court, argues that the order violates the Fifth Amendment's due process clause by discriminating based on sex and the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. It also alleges a violation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by denying medically necessary care. Following the executive order, Moe was informed of her impending transfer from a women's prison to a men's facility, and her official prison records were altered to reflect a male designation. The lawsuit claims that such a transfer would expose Moe to heightened risks of violence and sexual assault. Additionally, Moe's access to hormone therapy, which she has used since adolescence to treat gender dysphoria, is at risk of being discontinued. Moe's legal team is seeking to block her transfer, maintain her medical treatment, and have the executive order declared unconstitutional. Both the U.S. Justice Department and Moe's attorney declined to comment.Transgender inmate sues over Trump's order curtailing LGBT rights | ReutersNovo Nordisk has agreed to cap insulin prices as part of a settlement with Minnesota's attorney general, who accused the company and two other major insulin manufacturers, Eli Lilly and Sanofi, of inflating insulin prices to unaffordable levels. Under the settlement, Novo Nordisk will limit out-of-pocket insulin costs to $35 per monthly prescription for cash-paying patients, regardless of insurance status, and will provide free insulin to low-income Minnesotans earning up to 400% of the federal poverty level (about $128,600 for a family of four). This agreement mirrors earlier settlements Minnesota reached with Eli Lilly and Sanofi in 2024. Together, the settlements are expected to cut insulin costs for patients by over 90%. While Novo Nordisk denied any wrongdoing, the settlement will remain in effect for five years pending court approval. Minnesota's attorney general, Keith Ellison, criticized insulin makers for prioritizing profits over patients' lives, accusing them of artificially inflating list prices while negotiating rebates with pharmacy benefit managers. Insulin is a life-saving drug for individuals with diabetes, particularly type 1. Minnesota's legal battle began in 2018 under Ellison's predecessor, Lori Swanson.Novo Nordisk to cap insulin prices in Minnesota settlement; joins Lilly, Sanofi | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's recent federal hiring freeze has disrupted career plans for thousands of law students seeking government jobs or internships. Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the IRS, and the Environmental Protection Agency, have revoked permanent job offers to third-year law students accepted into prestigious honors programs. Additionally, hundreds of summer internships, both paid and volunteer, have been canceled, impacting over 2,000 positions in total. The DOJ, the largest legal employer among federal agencies, has rescinded job offers and canceled its summer programs, which typically place around 1,800 students annually. The hiring freeze has also led agencies to withdraw from law school recruiting events and remove job postings. Career services officials warn that these cancellations harm both federal agencies, which lose a critical pipeline of future talent, and students, who miss out on essential work experience often leading to full-time positions or judicial clerkships. Judicial clerkships, funded separately, are unaffected by the freeze. Law schools nationwide report significant disruptions, with many students left scrambling for alternative opportunities. Legal professionals and career advisors express concern over the long-term impact on government hiring and students' career trajectories. The White House has not commented on the issue.Trump's hiring freeze leaves thousands of law students out in the cold | Reuters This is a public episode.

Marco is a University of Nebraska College of Law graduate and currently works as the Owner of Brown Family Law. This episode with Marco is full of amazing insights, and a ton of philosophical wisdom about work, life, and the Law! Marco and I start years before arriving at Law School. He would start at the University of Anchorage Alaska, and then head off to BYU, first majoring in Physics, then deciding to change to a psychology major, following in his grandmother's footsteps. With a degree in psychology, Marco would take 2 years would serve a mission for his church in Italy, as well as work with intellectually impaired individuals. Being too combative to be a psychologist, he decided Law School would be the next step in his journey. Marco and I would speak about his first year in Law School in which he described it as Learning to read Chinese, while writing a manual, in Chinese. He handled it gracefully with a firehouse of information and loved it immensely. We then went into the various internships and clerkships he had. Marco would key in on the fact that he wanted to be a criminal defense attorney but was not great at it, allowing him to narrow it down from his options. He suggests that Law Students try a wide range of experiences, and get good at what they enjoy. On top of going through his journey of Law School, Marco would give some of his critiques of Law School. We then moved to Marco hanging his shingle, opening up Brown Law LLC. Marco would describe the first years as walking blind through hell. Marco would describe the story of how he got into divorce law and spoke about the importance of reinventing yourself and solving those big problems, that lead to the solutions of 100s of small problems, or what he calls, an apex problem. Finally, Marco and I spoke about his love for Kafka, as well as his love for Pizza, one of the reasons why we know god loves us.

Amanda is a 3L at the University of Baltimore and currently works as a Law Clerk at Selzer Gurvitch. From dropping out of High School to a current third year Law Student, Amanda offers a journey that is uniquely hers, and illustrious from start to finish. Amanda and I started a full decade before going to Law School. Amanda always wanted to be a Lawyer but life threw some curveballs her way that had to put off that dream for some time. After an ankle injury in high school, Amanda dropped out of high school, later receiving her GED. She went on to work at American Airlines throughout her 20s and eventually began at Community College. She would do so well at Community College, to then be offered an opportunity to go to Harvard extension school, gaining a plethora of knowledge, and a great foundation for Law School. After the Covid Pandemic, hundreds of airline employees, later including her husband, were laid off, Amanda realized that her time in the airline industry was never certain, and needed something to fall back on. Inspired early in life by Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird, Amanda would embark on her Law School journey, at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Amanda would speak on her first year, which was full of struggle, not only dealing with law school, but the loss of her husband's job, her mother being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, as well as being a mother herself. Amanda would learn a great lesson in perseverance, learning how important it was to have such a strong support system around her and to ask for help when she needed it. Amanda would finish the year strong, and go on to hold clerkship and internships in multiple different domains. Amanda's advice to everyone? Imagine what life would be if you quit. This question would drive her to continue her success in Law School and secure her place at a job post-law school. Amanda's journey is a testament to her strong character, and courage to chase her dreams, despite some obstacles. Be sure to check out Amanda, as she is one you don't want to miss out on!
