Episode 22: Spencer May (Law Student and Author of Memorable Law Students)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2182923/fan_mail/new] Spencer is an Arizona based law student, published author, and living proof that you don't need to wait until graduation to start building your legal career. In this episode, Spencer and I talk about the power of networking early, how to stand out in a crowded field, and why a scarcity mindset is the last thing law students should bring into law school. His book, the Memorable Law Student, is already resonating with law students who want to do things differently, and this conversation shows exactly why. A refreshingly honest chat about carving your own path in law.
