July 27, 2015 Leaving the Law: What Drove One Lawyer to a High School Classroom
Jaye Lindsay decided after 3.5 years that he’d had enough. His first job out of law school wasn't glamorous, but the steady pay and hands-on litigation experience made up for a lack of health insurance and low hourly wages. But over time, he wanted a better standard of living and work-life balance. After going solo and finding it impossible to manage his average-size debt load, he decided to become a high school special education teacher and practice law on the side. This episode also offers a window into the economics of small law firms, the trade-offs that clients face when they cannot afford a lawyer, and how people juggle and evaluate life priorities. Jaye is a graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Law.

June 21, 2015 A Closer Look at Insurance Defense Litigation
Meghann Joyce is an insurance defense litigator. While she's hired and paid by insurance companies, her clients are the insured defending, among other claims, professional liability and employment suits.

Her job responsibilities and expectations have evolved since she started, but the unpredictability of her days continues.
