Welcome to another episode of the ChatterMatters Podcast. This episode feels like something of a full-circle moment, as I am joined by Paul Burgess, who once taught me at Monash Law School and now joins me to discuss how he found his calling in legal academia. We unpack what life as a legal academic actually looks like, alongside some honest reflections on imposter syndrome, AI in law schools, and several valuable nuggets of wisdom for law students and aspiring lawyers — with a few threads that connect back to my earlier interview with former Justice of the High Court of Australia, Michael Kirby AC CMG.

In this special in-person episode, Amogh sits down with the Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG - Australia's "Great Dissenter" and a former Justice of the High Court of Australia (Australia's Highest Court) - for a wide-ranging conversation recorded at his chambers in Sydney.

Justice Kirby reflects on his early years as a proud public school student, his path into law, his love of history and student politics, and offers powerful advice for law students and young lawyers: be a joiner, don't hide your talents, and shape a life that suits you.

From RBG to resilience, hard work to humility - this is a true masterclass.
