Our guest this episode is Colin McMillan, a 1L student at Ryerson. Colin did his undergrad at UofT in physics and history, took a gap year where he worked in pest control and at a medical lab. But the reason he's on the show is mainly because he was one of the lucky students to be inducted into the inaugural class at Ryerson law school.

We discuss what's it like being at Ryerson. Colin goes over the format, which is different from most (all?) law schools in Canada. In particular, every class will have 2 instructors: a regular "professor" for theory elements, and a practising lawyer for tutorials and practical elements of lawyering. Already, he's had a lot of hands on experience experimenting with things like filling out leases, writing opinion letters, and interviewing clients. Colin also notes that the school has a requirement to do an internship which normally means that for one term in 3L, students will be placed at a law office.

All in all, Colin's experience at Ryerson has been, it seems safe to say, fantastic. The profs have been welcoming and engaging, the school has navigated Covid as well as could be expected, the practical sessions have proven valuable, and he's gained a lot of confidence regarding the practice of law. Felicity thinks everyone who goes to Ryerson loves it; Richard recommends she may wish to do law school there all over again.
