| 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  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 that I'm going to pigeon-hole myself too early in the course. |
| Lisa: | Yeah, hmmm. |
| Brad: | As you know there are going to be 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, , 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 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. |
