He’s not quite a legal beagle, but a poodle by the name of Riley is one of the newest faces at Melbourne Law School.
Nicknamed “The Juris Dogtor”, Riley is a therapy dog who visits the school to help relieve stress and provide a welcome distraction from readings and case note writing.
Other law schools have brought in puppies for events during exam season, but Riley will be a regular visitor to the faculty, attending every Thursday for six weeks as part of a pilot program. If successful, the program may be extended until the end of the year.

This was a refreshing and engaging piece that blended legal insight with a very human (and heartwarming) story. The way you explained the role and impact made it easy to appreciate how creativity and compassion can exist even in serious professions. I recently came across a similar discussion while browsing resources connected to https://www.masterstorage365.com/, and it offered an interesting perspective on storytelling in professional spaces as well. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and memorable article.
