“I’ve said before when I go into a courthouse, I still get the feeling after all these years, when I stand outside the door like I want to just straighten my shoulders and take a deep breath and think, ‘wow, I’m an attorney, I’m an officer of the court, and I can go in, and I can make a difference in someone’s life, through this way, through the law.’”

Commercial + insurance mediator and arbitrator, Jean Lawler, draws from her years of experience as a practicing attorney to share her suggestions and words of encouragement for how young lawyers can find their path in the law. Episode highlights include:
