Episode 25: Virtual Law School

In this episode we are joined by Vanshika Dhawan. Vanshika is a 3L student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. Outside of law, Vanshika is a writer and designer. We were curious about how the pandemic has impacted law school experiences and once we read Vanshika’s recent article, “An Open Letter to the Law Students Barely Holding it Together,” we really wanted to have her on the podcast. In this conversation we discuss how the pandemic has led to a loss of casual law school acquaintances, Vanshika’s experiences working throughout law school, and her love of young adult fiction.
