EP 121 – Setting the Stage: Leading, Learning, and Having Fun Along the Way (with Janice Payne)
Janice Payne, name partner at Nelligan O'Brien Payne and one of the most respected members of the Ottawa bar, joins Ryan and Amos to discuss her long career in legal practice, from being one of the trailblazing early female law students at the University of Ottawa, to her role in major cases like Nortel and the Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, to how law has changed and what advice she would give young lawyers today.
Along the way, they reflect on the importance of giving back, discuss creative ways to use one's legal talent, and give listeners some ideas on how to still have fun as a lawyer, in what became The Law School’s Show longest episode to date.
