    Episode 22: Spencer May (Law Student and Author of Memorable Law Students)

    Send us Fan Mail Spencer is an Arizona based law student, published author, and living proof that you don't need to wait until graduation to start building your legal career. In this episode, Spencer and I talk about the power of networking early, how to stand out in a crowded field, and why a scarcity mindset is the last thing law students should bring into law school. His book, the Memorable Law Student, is already resonating with law students who want to do things differently, and this conversation shows exactly why. A refreshingly honest chat about carving your own path in law.

    Episode 20: Paul Burgess (Monash University) – Building a Career in Legal Academia

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to another episode of the ChatterMatters Podcast. This episode feels like something of a full-circle moment, as I am joined by Paul Burgess, who once taught me at Monash Law School and now joins me to discuss how he found his calling in legal academia. We unpack what life as a legal academic actually looks like, alongside some honest reflections on imposter syndrome, AI in law schools, and several valuable nuggets of wisdom for law students and aspiring lawyers — with a few threads that connect back to my earlier interview with former Justice of the High Court of Australia, Michael Kirby AC CMG.
