In this special in-person episode, Amogh sits down with the Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG - Australia's "Great Dissenter" and a former Justice of the High Court of Australia (Australia's Highest Court) - for a wide-ranging conversation recorded at his chambers in Sydney.

Justice Kirby reflects on his early years as a proud public school student, his path into law, his love of history and student politics, and offers powerful advice for law students and young lawyers: be a joiner, don't hide your talents, and shape a life that suits you.

From RBG to resilience, hard work to humility - this is a true masterclass.

In this episode, Amogh sits down with Jeremy Grunfeld, a lawyer turned student success strategist who worked at Forage (now acquired by EAB). Forage is an educational technology company that offers free job simulations to students across several different professions including the legal profession. Students essentially get to experience what a "day in life" of a lawyer / consultant / investment banker, etc. is at a specific firm / company.

Jeremy shares his journey to the law and reflects on some of the lessons he has picked up along the way. He also offers his top tips for students going through the clerkship process in Australia, as well as some invaluable lessons he has learned from working as a lawyer and from his experience building a successful company.
