The post #162: Legal Billing (An Alternative To The Billable Hour) appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

Join me for a candid yet also inspirational discussion with Aliza Shatzman about judicial discrimination & the changes needed within our judiciary.

Aliza Shatzman is the President and Co-Founder of The Legal Accountability Project, a nonprofit aimed at ensuring that as many law clerks as possible have positive clerkship experiences.

In today’s interview, Aliza shares her gut-wrenching personal story of having to deal with gender discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by a former DC judge. And how that closed the door to her big legal dreams.

But it doesn’t end there. Today's story is also about courage and resilience.

Here's what we cover:

--> Life lessons around how to be courageous in the face of daunting odds and bounce back after thinking you’ve lost out on your dreams.

--> How victims of judicial discrimination are treated (and why so few file complaints).

--> Why we’re ALL impacted (and our profession is tarnished) by judicial discrimination.

--> The truth about how women in law treat other women when it comes to discrimination (that must be addressed honestly).

--> How you can make a difference to increase judicial accountability.

The post #71: Your Path To Partnership (How To Make Partner) appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

Is podcasting for lawyers just another legal marketing gimmick? What would you use it for (and what would you even talk about)?

Isn't podcasting too time consuming to make it worthwhile for a busy lawyer like you?

Join me and fellow recovering lawyer Robert Ingalls to get the answers to all of the questions above and so much more.

Like many lawyers, Robert battled anxiety for years from the pressure, long hours, and constant conflict of a litigation career. With no business/marketing background and only a love for podcasts Robert decided to see if lawyers would pay him to help them launch podcasts.

The answer? Yep.

No matter your angle, today's guest and his story is inspirational and packed full of gems I know you'll learn from.

Here's are just a few of those gems:

--> How the the typical lawyer mindset (and our amazing ability to lean in) can work against us.

--> When to listen to your intuition (not just facts).

--> The mindset shift Robert made that transformed his anxiety-ridden mindset into one of contentment (that you can do too!).

--> How to use podcasting as an effective legal marketing, branding and even networking tool.

--> Whether podcasting for lawyers will work for all attorneys (from solo to Big Law lawyer) and why/why not.

The post #70: A Recovering Lawyer’s Journey Into Podcasting appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

Do you sometimes have trouble achieving goals? Not able to commit time to the things you want? Feel like you’re not getting far enough fast enough? At least part of your problem likely relates to one or more mindset blocks.

The other part of the problem? You’re either: (1) unaware of their existence, or
(2) believe they aren’t a problem (because they’re so universal).

The good news is that you can overcome whatever blocks are getting in your way. So long as you understand what they are.

If you’re in the hunt for a new associate you know how crazy-competitive the legal job market is right now. There’s a lot of work and not enough attorneys to get it all done (so it seems). Which has made attorney retention and recruiting difficult (to put it mildly).

So… how can you attract the best talent and fit? What do you need to offer them? And what can you do if you’re at a small or medium-sized firm (who can’t keep up with Big Law salaries)?

Because these questions keep coming up in my conversations with clients and former colleagues, I knew I needed to bring in an expert. Join me today to find out the answers to the questions above (and much more) from Brian Moskowitz of Kenzak Group, a boutique legal talent agency and search firm.

The post #68: Navigating Today’s Legal Job Market appeared first on Life and Law Podcast.

After last week’s episode, I thought it important to share my own story about leaving law behind.

Not just for those of you who might be considering the same thing. But for anyone who might be wrestling with the possibility of making a big change to their lives.

Because change is uncertain. And uncertainty creates anxiety – even fear. I hope that sharing how I navigated through my own anxiety, fear and worries will be helpful for you whenever you face those same things.
