    3 Opportunities you must Seize in Law School

    Hello friends! It's good to be back. It's been a while since my last upload... I was involved in a case in October 2020, and I'm happy to say that is done and over with. Phew!   I'd like to credit today's video to Marcus Dee's question... He asks: What are some “significant events/opportunities that law students should look out for to maximise the limited time they have?”    Well Marcus, thanks for your question! There are so many events and opportunities that you can (and should) do as a law student. Though it was difficult to shortlist it, I've picked my favorite 3 and tried to summarise it into a short-but-not-so-short-video. It spans 20 mins long, so grab a coffee and some snacks and cozy down!    Join me as I share my thoughts on the topic "3 Opportunities you must Seize in Law School".    Intro: (0:00) Strategically managing one's limited time: (0:37) Disclaimer - Watch the Previous Podcasts 1st!: (2:12) Mooting: (2:56) Pro-Bono: (7:25) CCAs: (12:06) Subpoint: The importance of CCAs: (16:33) Farewell!: (18:50)   If you like my work, please join fellow viewers by supporting me on Patreon at patreon.com/lzylifeguide   Credits section: 1.

    Right to Arms and Gun Ownership

    Hello friends! Are you ready for another Law and Ethics discussion? For all those stuck at home with cabin fever during this COVID-19 era, join me as I share my thoughts today on the topic, "Right to Arms and Gun Ownership".    Are you afraid of guns? Some people are. After all, gun ownership are the Number 1 cause of death by bullets (SURPRISE!). Unsurprisingly, this has led to much debate about guns, especially heavy weapons with rapid-fire functionality. While it is certainly cool to own a gun, problems may arise when everyone is allowed to own a gun. What are some of the problems that a widespread proliferation of guns would pose? Should we impose restrictions on who can lawfully possess a gun? And finally, what legal obligations should we impose to circumscribe the Right to Arms? As you know, law interviews require aspiring candidates to talk about a wide range of videos. In these series of podcasts, I will try to provide my thoughts of some contentious topics and how you can answer those questions   If you like my work, please join fellow viewers by supporting me on Patreon at patreon.com/lzylifeguide    Are you a lawyer or law student wanting to live the good partner life?

Capital Punishment is another controversial issue that differs across different jurisdictions. When is it right to deprive an individual of his life? What about the concept of proportionality and second chances? And how would someone sentenced to the death penalty think about death? As you know, law interviews require aspiring candidates to talk about a wide range of videos. In these series of podcasts, I will try to provide my thoughts of some contentious topics and how you can answer those questions

    The Ethics of Cloning

    Hello friends! For all those stuck at home with cabin fever during this COVID-19 era, join me as I share my thoughts today on the topic, "Cloning".    Cloning is a controversial issue that involves several ethical conundrums. Is it right to clone an individual? What are some of the socioeconomic implications that Cloning entails? And perhaps most importantly, what is stopping the law from legalizing Cloning?   As you know, law interviews require aspiring candidates to talk about a wide range of videos. In these series of podcasts, I will try to provide my thoughts of some contentious topics and how you can answer those questions
