Legal Late Night

How to Run a Law Firm on Social Media and AI (feat. Haitham Amin)


Listen Later

Welcome to Legal Late Night! In this episode, host Jared Correia tackles the necessary evil of meetings, the rise of the "social media legal influencer," and the burning questions everyone wants to know about their lawyer.

First, Jared shares his monologue on law firm meetings. He argues that while everyone hates them, they are essential for managing teams. He breaks down the only three meetings your firm needs: the Daily Standup, the Case Review(modernized with software!), and the Metrics Meeting.

Then, we are joined by Haitham Amin, Principal Attorney at Amin Law in San Francisco. Haitham shares his journey from a public defender representing unlicensed painters to building a thriving private practice in Family Law and Personal Injury. He discusses how he hired his first associate (profitably!), his aggressive use of AI to streamline tasks and remove emotion from communications, and his side hustle as a content creator who writes, directs, and produces his own viral legal skits.

Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: "People Also Also Ask." Jared quizzes Haitham on the weirdest Google search queries associated with his name and the legal profession, including the existence of the "Magic 5 Lawyers" and whether Kim Kardashian is actually an attorney.
