Love this platform

It’s awesome to know that interviews are conducted with attorneys that share their experience and journey! It’s helping me to have a better insight on what path to take when going to law school.

Candid conversations

I loved the interview with Alan Fowler on criminal defense in Florida. I loved how he pivoted from representing restaurant people to criminal defense. “I found that it was too many practice areas. It was too hard to be good at that many things.”

Great quick listens

Found this podcast via Thinking LSAT! I’m still thinking about if I want to go to law school, love the selection that doesn’t only includes white males as I am not one. Keep up the work love the mission!

Awesome for the Curious Legal Mind

Great insight as to what lawyers do on a week to week/‘day to day’ basis! They try to help those of us that are considering a legal career by offering a thorough look at different fields of legal practice. Could have helped thousands of law students a couple years ago. Grateful to have it now!
