Richard and Adam are joined again by Kali Dimitrakoudis, who recently finished 1L at Osgoode Hall Law School. She nominates How to Get Away With Murder as her favourite this time (which Richard finds appallingly unrealistic).
Adam is studying for Bar Ad exams while social distancing and Richard laments that they are all remote from each other. Adam and Kali go on about the Socratic method and cold-calling again, as Kali has a near "sister act" going on with Sabah, relating her experience in Criminal law class. Kali says she trusted Richard because of listening to the podcast before she began law school.
Adam researched quickly while recording the podcast and found a provision in the Assisted Human Reproduction Act and learned you can’t do the gametes thing in Canada. He relates it to the Handmaid’s Tale but it means he admits he has no questions for Kali. All of them discuss doing extra-curricular activities at law school: Kali went to the national negotiation competition in New Brunswick, and they discuss the importance of negotiation in law. Adam talks about his attending the Canadian Client Competition in Edmonton and both of them talk about the bonding that occurs during these types of competitions. Richard explains how he was in the only year at his law school – in its entire 100+ years of existence – that did not have a moot program, so he never got involved in mooting or other forms of oral advocacy.
They discuss course selection, a highlight of the summer term for law students. Adam “crushed” his course selection because he thought it was a competition. Kali decides to let Adam make her course selections for her. They finish off by figuring out how one can maximize their course selection.
