Audio question
Brad: As I was saying, Professor Mitchell ... Lisa: Oh, please call me Lisa. Brad: Yes, well Lisa, well I'm still trying to get my head around the choice of 1 for the optional part of the third-year program. I was thinking of taking personal taxation law, and company tax, together with the extra five-credit-point course on goods and services and VAT type taxes, but I'm a bit 2 that I'm going to pigeonhole myself too early in the course. Lisa: Yeah, hmmm. Brad: As you know there are going to be 3 for summer clerkships coming up and I really don’t want to come across as too focused on certain areas that a lot of firms don't even do, you know, have a practice in. Lisa: Well, don't forget, um, only about 25% of the course at this stage is elective-based and you'll still have that core of subjects - crim, legal institutions, 4 , property law, general commercial and fed-con law, all of which would be of interest to a lot of firms. So if I were you, which I’m not, I’d really just go with what my interests are and enjoy the chance to undertake some work in an area that I'm 5 to pursue. Don't you think? There's an awful lot of time in this profession where you'll be undertaking long, stressful hours on projects that don't really interest you as much.
