Paul studied law part-time at Monash University, while still workin as a nurse, completing his Juris Doctor in 2004. For a time he was the face of the Monash Postgraduate Degree Program. While studying, Paul also worked voluntarily as part of the administrative staff at the Mental Health Legal Service.
