Victoria Nauman is a very recent law school graduate and state public defender. Like many law students, she entered law school intending to do some sort of public service, but lacking specificity. This episode focuses on her transition to practice. Victoria discusses some early career challenges, including imposter syndrome, building trust with clients, how she balances kindness and collegiality with being adversarial when necessary, and maintaining a work-life balance. She also candidly discusses financial realities for public defenders. Victoria is a graduate of William & Mary Law School.
