1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

My talk was meant for the class 10/11/12 students, but these kids had some last-minute issue so instead I spoke with class 8/9 students — proper Gen Alpha! 🥲
Here are the questions I was asked:
1. “ How many NLU grads get 1 cr packages?” (I had to burst their bubble)
2. “What percentage of NLU grads get jobs in New York and London?” (also had to burst their bubble)
3. “I want to study at Harvard Law School. What’s the process?” (explained JD versus LLM)
4. “How do NLUs support decolonisation”? (I asked the student if she knew what the word means and she said it means “like supporting freedom for Palestine and Ukraine and all”— so I just gave a bland answer about international law student societies and journals)
5. “How do NLUs support queer and pansexual students?” (I didn’t know what “pansexual” means, so I gave a generic answer that all sexualities are welcomed and supported).
6. “Can a NLU grad practice law in Korea?” (I asked her why she was interested in Korea: she said she liked KDramas on law and wanted to live and work in Korea)
😊😊😊😊
Also, it's better to ask "stupid" questions, than no questions at all.
