This video is THE presentation that gave me the idea to go to law school! I watched it (for work), was amazed by the content and the presenter, Abdi Aidid, did some research about him, found the program where he’s teaching at the University of Toronto, and decided to apply. I also found his book and told myself that I would NOT go to law school if I was not able to read his book.
You might not be interested in all this because it’s a presentation for public servants (employés de la fonction publique fédérale ≠ fonctionnaires) in Canada, but he is actually talking about the Canadian contexts and the US context AND the European context. And it’s fascinating (I automatically started the video after all the introductory blah blah). The guy is so smart (and he talks super fast!!), and after waiting impatiently for many months, I finally have him as a prof (in a course on privacy and data governance), which is a dream come true!!
So now, I can blame him every time I regret having started this (crazy, insane, exhausting) law program, haha!
I hope you’ll watch it.
I would have liked to watch this video, but my English is too bad to understand it. Professor Abdi Aidid looks as if it’s a pleasure to listen to him. Do you attend face-to-face classes?

I’m sorry, I was this anonymous person 🙂

It is indeed not super easy to understand because he speaks very quickly. Yes, my classes are all in person in Toronto (about 3 to 4 hours by car from Kingston) so I have to go there every weekend.

It must be very tiring. And what about your nephew? Does he come with you or does he say with Rosie?

So far he’s come with me, but this weekend he will go visit Montreal. And yes, classes and the back-and-forth trips are exhausting!
