episode Why They Chose Law: Family Ties, Media Influence, and Career Purpose artwork
Why They Chose Law: Family Ties, Media Influence, and Career Purpose

What really draws people to become lawyers? In this special bonus episode, we draw on previously unpublished clips with recent guests. You'll hear from lawyers inspired by family members in the profession, those who found their calling through student government or workplace experiences, and others who were motivated by iconic legal dramas like Legally Blonde and A Few Good Men. But inspiration is just the beginning. Our guests also reveal what pop culture gets dramatically wrong about legal practice. Spoiler alert: it's far less glamorous and much more tedious than TV suggests. From the reality of billable hours to the emotional weight of client relationships, these lawyers share what truly surprised them when they first started practicing. Featured voices include: * Adam Deutsch, personal injury lawyer following in his father's footsteps * Tijana Brien, securities litigator who promised her refugee father she'd become the lawyer he never got to be * Samm Tillotson, commercial litigator inspired by her student government experience * Katie King, who discovered her legal calling through workplace advocacy * Ezra Lintner, legal aid lawyer using law as a tool for their community service * And many more sharing their honest takes on expectation vs. reality This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
