Having recently completed the first year of her law degree, Cassidy Pole’s passion for the rule of law has only intensified. Here, she reflects on what the journey has taught her and what others coming through the ranks can glean from her experience.

In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Australian National University (ANU) law student Cassidy Pole about what attracted her to the law in the first place, why she chose to move down to Canberra to study at ANU, how and why her passion for the law has intensified, whether the environment of law school has lived up to expectations, and what has surprised her thus far.

Pole also muses about managing the juggle of study and work, putting one’s self out there to network and secure employment, why students shouldn’t lose hope about finding work, navigating the stress of one’s workload, staying healthy and happy, where she sees her journey in law heading, and what she knows about herself after one year of law school that she didn’t before.
