The room (PB150 at Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto) hasn’t changed. Same seats. Same pharmacy lecture hall where a professor once looked at me and said: You should go to law school. That one sentence rearranged my life.
This week, I stood at the front of that same room at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto — lecturing final-year students on the legal issues they’ll face the moment they step into practice. A lecture I give every year with that same professor: Zubin Austin. Zubin has been a mentor, a friend, and someone whose judgment I trust completely. The kind of person who backs you before the results come in. I went to law school. I clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada | Cour suprême du Canada. I became a prosecutor. I built a law firm (RxLaw). And every year, I come back to this room. Not as a guest, but as proof that the path he pointed me toward was the right one. If you’re lucky enough to have a Zubin in your life, you already know. If you don’t — be one.
