Are you a lawyer or law student wanting to live the good partner life? But you're too lazy that you don't even want to spell the word lazy in full so you decided to spell it as lzy? Well, that's me. Imagine my disappointment when law was more like Trump and not at all like Obama.  I absolutely HATE working, so I devised the lziest way to get through law school and get me into a big law firm.

Hello friends! Are you ready for another Law and Ethics discussion? For all those stuck at home with cabin fever during this COVID-19 era, join me as I share my thoughts today on the topic, "Right to Arms and Gun Ownership".   

Are you afraid of guns? Some people are. After all, gun ownership are the Number 1 cause of death by bullets (SURPRISE!). Unsurprisingly, this has led to much debate about guns, especially heavy weapons with rapid-fire functionality. While it is certainly cool to own a gun, problems may arise when everyone is allowed to own a gun. What are some of the problems that a widespread proliferation of guns would pose? Should we impose restrictions on who can lawfully possess a gun? And finally, what legal obligations should we impose to circumscribe the Right to Arms?

As you know, law interviews require aspiring candidates to talk about a wide range of videos. In these series of podcasts, I will try to provide my thoughts of some contentious topics and how you can answer those questions

Hello friends! For all those stuck at home with cabin fever during this COVID-19 era, join me as I share my thoughts today on the topic, "Capital Punishment".

Capital Punishment is another controversial issue that differs across different jurisdictions. When is it right to deprive an individual of his life? What about the concept of proportionality and second chances? And how would someone sentenced to the death penalty think about death?

Cloning is a controversial issue that involves several ethical conundrums. Is it right to clone an individual? What are some of the socioeconomic implications that Cloning entails? And perhaps most importantly, what is stopping the law from legalizing Cloning?
