BONUS PREVIEW: Finding Purpose in Public Sector Work

In our latest bonus episode of Lawyered Unplugged, we speak with Susheel Gupta. Susheel is a Canadian lawyer whose incredible story (stemming from a tragic murder) spurred him to serve in numerous impressive roles in the federal public sector, including as: a federal prosecutor, a Vice-Chair of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, and an RCMP advisor in the Counter-Terrorism & National Security group.

This episode features a candid look at life at various levels of the public sector and includes career tips for lawyers at all levels of call.
