Atty Jose Mari Tirol: The Coffee-blooded Dean

The legal profession is seen by the average Filipino as an above-average career path. With so much to consider for the future, is your future as a lawyer really worth considering? If you’re considering the title of “attorney”, this may be the podcast for you. The things you’ll need as a lawyer are the same things you’ll need as a law student: dedication to a purpose, focus on a goal, and coffee.   Join us for another Wednesday and another cup of coffee where we talk about law and life. Atty. Jose Mari Benjamin Francisco Tirol’s experiences as a lawyer for more than two decades puts him in a good place to talk about lawyering. Even then, he can still recall his own first days as a wide-eyed law student at the University of San Agustin College of Law. Better known today as Dean Tirol, he’s spent the last several years guiding the same people through the same halls. In his youth, he made several last stands against professors, exams, and coffee addiction. He’s since earned the respect of his mentors and passed the Bar - but we have him here today because he never got around to beating coffee. You can catch a refill of this episode on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and where you get your cups of podcast goodness.   This episode is presented by Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo and produced by Prometheus.  Time to wake up and smell the coffee.
