Wow — I'm sorry to hear about your sister's situation, Gaston — but yes, the effect of the pandemic on law school applications (and legal education more generally) is definitely a significant subject. Thanks for this idea!

I would also be interested to hear from fellow practitioners how their interactions with colleagues, clients, and opposing counsel have gone during the pandemic. I admit that I still get a little uneasy interacting directly with opposing outside counsel over video. But interacting with opposing in-house counsel (e.g. in a patent licensing discussion where I represent the patent owner and the target is handling the negotiation in-house) over Zoom/Teams etc... has been a joy and helped get deals done, if only because the medium lends itself to less guarded discussion.

Very interesting — and I wouldn't have expected that! This unusual period has been full of surprises (some bad, but some good).
