Despite progress in recent years to raise awareness of in-house vocational pathways, much work remains to be done, one GC argues. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with University of Adelaide general counsel and executive director of legal services Shanti Berggren about why she is so passionate about the education sector, the ever-present need to increase awareness of in-house vocational pathways for next-generation lawyers, what is missing from career conversations, and how technology makes it even more important to communicate the value of such pathways. Berggren also touches on what constitutes a good in-house lawyer in the current climate, how other business units are increasingly appreciating the legal function, the need for law departments to better promote themselves to graduates and students, how her university is starting to make strides to educate those coming through the ranks, moving past misconceptions, and the key pillars for good leadership and development for the next generation.

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.…

With voting now underway for the 2025 federal election, we take a look at the legislative and constitutional requirements governing our electoral processes, the quirks of the Australian system, and what – apart from the beloved “democracy sausage” – makes the Australian way special. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Professor Donald Rothwell of the Australian National University about his work in international law, how our electoral system came to be at the time of Federation, the advantage for the incumbent prime minister of the day, major changes we’ve seen to our electoral laws, and how Australia ended up with a preferential voting system. Professor Rothwell also reflects on whether our current legislative and constitutional frameworks are fit for purpose with our elections, the appetite or otherwise for reform, the recent saga of MPs who were dual nationals, whether job-sharing MPs will be a thing of the future, the laws and processes governing minority government, whether such governments are truly representative of our democracy, and other interesting and quirky features of our system.

Given the unique needs of clients in family law proceedings, it is fundamental that those in regional and rural Australia have access to the requisite court resources, processes, and, ultimately, access to justice. Much more work, one principal argues, needs to be done to ensure this. In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Tiyce & Lawyers principal Michael Tiyce to discuss the political promises that get made to better support those in the regions, the gaps faced by such citizens relative to those in the cities, how the advent of technology has assisted or worsened matters in family law, and whether the major parties are pledging change ahead of next weekend’s federal election. Tiyce also delves into the impact on family law practitioners from such limited access for regional clients, how those families have to navigate the barriers in front of them, how and why Australia has such a gap between those in the regions versus those in the cities, how urgent such issues are from the practitioner perspective, what more can be done to accommodate regional Australians, and how the courts and practitioners are working together to better support those on the ground and ensure access to justice.

While one cannot control the external environment, one can control the progress and direction of their legal career. As this BigLaw partner has learnt, putting one’s best foot forward on any given client matter and making the biggest difference one can is the best way to get ahead and open new professional doors. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clifford Chance partner David Clee about his professional journey, the idea of not always following commonly trodden pathways in one’s career, the importance of being open to different pathways, how he has remained open-minded about opportunities while also following a guiding light for what he has wanted in his career. Clee also delves into the need to “maximise the return” on any client matter one works on, being clear about where one wants to end up while also not looking too far ahead, mitigating the “natural inclination to be in a hurry”, finding greater purpose, overcoming environmental uncertainty, adopting the right mindset, and the importance of seeking feedback.

The complexity of cyber security implications for businesses, and therefore their lawyers, “has exploded” in the last few years, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) being used in such criminal activity cannot be understated. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Norton Rose Fulbright partner and Australian head of cyber security Annie Haggar to discuss how and why this year is so busy for cyber lawyers, the proliferation of election disinformation and misinformation and how this impacts cyber lawyers, how the nature of such legal work will continue shifting ahead of 2030, and how data breaches involving AI are changing the game. Haggar also delves into how businesses can navigate the threat of AI and its intersection with cyber security, whether this intersection is the next frontier for cyber lawyers, lessons from recent case law involving Medibank and an ASIC proceeding involving a financial services provider, and what the rest of the year looks like for lawyers in this space.

While some law students may believe that rushing through their degree offers a competitive advantage, this might not be true. Instead, taking a more measured approach to your studies can be beneficial. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Charlotte Carles, a young ambassador for UNICEF Australia and the founder of Gen Z Abroad, about her initial ambition to pursue a legal career, how her deep dive into the mental health challenges facing law students sparked her passion for advocating for a slower approach to completing a law degree, what this approach looks like in practice, and how this mindset has enabled her to undertake a traineeship with UNESCO in Jakarta and an international internship in Tahiti. Carles discusses how taking a more measured approach can significantly enhance a student’s professional development, identifies the valuable skills they can gain that they wouldn’t from the classroom, outlines the personal benefits of slowing down, including improved wellbeing and the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, explores how this approach can better position students for a smoother transition into full-time legal practice, examines whether universities should actively encourage this measured approach, and outlines strategies for law students interested in implementing this approach in their academic journey.…

For Dr Colin James, the legal profession’s relative reluctance to appreciate the impact of trauma in workplaces and educational settings is, in part, due to a “masculinist” history that has fed longstanding stigmas and repression of feelings that may arise as a result of being exposed to trauma in the course of one’s work or study. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with retired legal academic and author Dr Colin James about his long and storied legal career and research, his decades-long interest and work in trauma, domestic violence, and masculinity (spurred by a lack of justice and fairness in society), his perception of law’s embrace of trauma theory, and how and why the profession has been reluctant – relative to other sectors – to meaningfully acknowledge the need for change. James also discusses the need for legal workplaces and law schools to better incorporate trauma theory, the strategies that must be implemented in doing so, going beyond legislative requirements, the urgent need to make such changes in the current climate, as well as his newly published book, Vicarious Trauma and Burnout in Law .
