Abstract
This paper highlights the experiences at law school that transformed a selfinterested consumerist with dreams of becoming a corporate lawyer into a critical legal theorist concerned with social justice, sustainability, and Indigenous sovereignty. Tracing the author's personal experiences at law school, this paper highlights the common barriers to critical thought presented by conventional legal education. More importantly, this paper offers broader insights into the teaching methods and course content changes that could bring about radical shifts in consciousness for the next generation of law students.
