Richard and Adam are joined by Viktor Hohlacov, who recently finished 1L at Osgoode Hall Law School. Adam finds a criminal code provision - defence of property - that is controversial and possibly ill-drafted. Adam has gone back in time and about to enter law school. Adam, Richard and Vik continue the existential question of when 1L ends and a new moniker begins. Adam realizes what question to ask a student who has just finished first year. Vik claims law school is the most challenging and rewarding thing he’s done. The group discuss getting involved in extra curricular activities.
All engage in a lengthy discussion about student government. Richard doesn’t realize that Vik has NOT BEEN on student government, but WILL BE on student government next year. Vik notes the amount of readings required for law school is significant, and how it may be different between first and second semester. Adam disagrees, even though he has yet to go to law school (at least in his time traveller mode). Pub nights were a highlight for Vik; Adam wonders if faculty have a pub night. Isolation naturally lends itself to discussion about haircuts. Richard tells the story of getting his haircut with horse clippers while a law student
Richard asks for advice teaching Criminal law by Zoom; Vik explains how just showing crimes happening in the streets of Toronto may be beneficial. Adam’s final question asks Vik to give a unique study strategy from his 1L.
