Studying Law Around the World
Conversations with lawyers, academics, and legal professionals on how legal education, qualification, and careers move across jurisdictions — the unspoken rules of building a legal career across borders.
Bilingual (EN / PT) · CPD-accredited in Ontario & British Columbia
Studying Law Around the World is a global podcast on legal mobility — how legal education, qualification, and career paths differ across jurisdictions, and what nobody explains about moving between them.
Each episode digs into the unspoken rules of building a legal career across borders: bar admission, credential recognition, and making the leap into a new legal system. Guests are lawyers, academics, and legal professionals speaking from inside their own jurisdictions.
The show grew from its Brazilian roots into a bilingual (EN / PT) platform reaching practitioners in dozens of countries. Across 150+ episodes, guests have spoken from 14 countries; listeners now follow in 42. It is a research method in public — each conversation testing the same underlying question, how do legal careers actually move between systems?, against a different jurisdiction, generation, or practice area.
These are not scripted success stories. They are real journeys, including doubts, pivots, risks, and practical advice.
"Law is local, but careers are global. This podcast creates space for that conversation."
