I talk a lot about values alignment (aligning your law practice to your values). But what, precisely, does that look like in practice? Here's the thing: Values that cost you nothing probably aren't values — they're just words you aren't really standing behind. Yet the cost is worth it. Because NOT aligning to your values costs something, too.

That's why I was immediately drawn to Ariella Cohen Coleman. She's a lawyer who built a values-aligned law firm and a nonprofit to support the Jewish community. She speaks openly about antisemitism. Even if it makes others uncomfortable. Even though it could cost her something. She is the real thing.

This conversation is about so much:

- What it actually takes to build a values-aligned practice.

This conversation is powerful. It's important. Be sure to listen.

We live in interesting times (to say the least). Nuance seems to be forgotten. Complexity ignored. And there are little to no conversations being had (about things we need to be having conversations about as a society).

For many of us, it's causing anxiety and stress. But what can you actually do about it? Will it make a difference? Listen to learn why lawyers are uniquely equipped to deal with these issues head-on and not just overcome, but lead. And to serve society in the best way we can.
