Studying Law Around the World
Studying Law Around the World is a podcast about legal education, career paths, and the real stories behind the profession. Since its launch, the show has released 120+ episodes, featuring guests from 14 countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, and beyond.
Each episode brings an honest conversation with lawyers, professors, judges, and students who share how they built their careers and what they learned along the way. These are not scripted success stories. They are real journeys, including doubts, pivots, risks, and practical advice.
The podcast has reached listeners in 42 countries, creating a growing global community of law students and professionals who want to think beyond borders.
Law is local, but careers are global. This podcast creates space for that conversation.

About the Creator
Claudio Klaus
Claudio Klaus is a lawyer trained in Brazil and licensed by the Law Society of Ontario. His legal experience spans Brazil, the United States, and Canada. He holds bachelor's degrees in Law and International Relations and completed the Global Professional Master of Laws at the University of Toronto.
His career has included work with appellate courts in Brazil, complex state law matters in Arizona, including a capital punishment case, teaching business law, and legal work in both the public and private sectors in Canada. He has supported corporate transactions, commercial real estate matters, court proceedings, and legal projects involving different jurisdictions.
Today, Claudio brings this international experience to his legal practice in Ontario, with a strong interest in helping clients and legal professionals navigate different legal systems and business environments.
Claudio created Studying Law Around the World to connect legal communities and share the real experiences behind international legal careers. Through the podcast, he has spoken with lawyers, professors, judges, students, and legal professionals from around the world.
He has also led initiatives such as the 75 Lawyers Project, through which he held structured career conversations with senior lawyers across Canada and shared their insights with the next generation of legal professionals.
Claudio's work brings together legal practice, education, storytelling, and international dialogue. His goal is not simply to create content. It is to create useful conversations that help lawyers think more broadly, make thoughtful career decisions, and build stronger connections across legal systems.
