61. Taking Photos for Property Law

What‘s Law Got To Do With It?

Felicity is in a state because she just had her graduation photos taken, and is wondering whether everything is happening too fast. Is she ready to leave the law school nest?

Our guest this episode is Dylan Yan, a former student at Osgoode who transferred to McGill and is back in 1L all over again. Richard and Dylan have an unusual relationship as Dylan, who admits he rarely goes to class, got to know Richard well because he often visited his office during 1L at Osgoode. (Richard taught Dylan Public and Constitutional Law). He ended up transferring because he realized that there's no truth to the rumour that you should attend law school where you want to practice; so he made the move for himself, not for some wacky idea.

Felicity wonders whether there are differences approaches between different law schools. Both she and Dylan talk about how the form of law school evaluation gets reflected in class attendance and study habits. (Hint: all agree that form follows function here, which is far from ideal). Dylan concludes by relating a story of how he found a creative way to complete a property law photography assignment. Felicity and Richard are rendered almost speechless.
