Shook Shorts

Imagine being told you could not attend a congratulatory luncheon for your own client because it was held at a “Men’s Only” club. Or that you were “too pretty” and did not “look like a lawyer.” All these incidents happened to women lawyers early in their careers prior to joining Shook. But they persevered. Lauren Greenspoon, Alicia Menendez and Amy Ragen all took non-traditional career paths. In part 2 of our Shook Shorts podcast, the three share their personal stories and discuss the new American Bar Association book, “Her Story. Book 2. The Resilient Woman Lawyer’s Guide to Conquering Obstacles,” which includes essays and encouragement from women lawyers succeeding in an often challenging industry.

Part 1 of a 2-part series. Athletes have embarked on interval training for years. A high level performer will ramp up, excel at 100%, then slow down to repeat the pattern. The same style can be used to approach careers. In part one of our Shook Shorts podcast, three women lawyers discuss their different career paths and the obstacles they overcame to succeed in an often challenging but rewarding industry. Lauren Greenspoon, Alicia Menendez and Amy Ragen each played a role, along with many others, to help produce the new American Bar Association book, “Her Story. Book 2. The Resilient Woman Lawyer’s Guide to Conquering Obstacles.”
