In this episode, I’m joined by Judge Janet Malone for a real conversation about judicial life — the good, the challenging, and everything in between.

We talk about what it’s like to juggle the work itself while also running a business, how important it is for court reporters to speak up for accuracy on the record, and why communication and teamwork in the courtroom really matter. Judge Malone also shares her perspective from the bench and how empathy plays a role in the way cases unfold.

If you’re a court reporter, attorney, or just curious about how the courtroom really works, you’ll get a lot out of this one.
