This week on Your Honor, We’re New Here, Kayla, Felicia, and Joey talk about one of the hardest lessons new attorneys learn: managing client expectations. From car wrecks and property damage complaints to slip-and-fall confusion and “I saw this on TV” moments, the trio gets real about the emotional side of personal injury law.

They share their stories, unpack why “fair market value” isn’t a personal attack, and talk about when it’s time to stop explaining and start setting boundaries. It’s an honest, funny, and painfully relatable look at the part of law school no one prepared you for.

This week on Your Honor, We’re New Here, Kayla, Felicia, and Joey unpack the real differences between life at a big firm and life at a small one, and why both have their perks (and pain points). From the structure and resources of large firms to the flexibility and personal touch of smaller practices, they dive into what it’s really like to find your footing on either side of the legal world.

They compare structure versus flexibility, delegation versus doing it yourself, and how the size of your firm can shape your entire experience as a new attorney. Whether you thrive on collaboration or independence, this one’s for anyone figuring out where they fit in the profession.

We’re back! After what we’re calling a - brief and totally strategic - break, the Your Honor, We’re New Here crew returns with plenty to rant (and laugh) about. Between Birmingham traffic, possibly knowing Bill and his tractor, and police reports that might as well be fan fiction, Kayla, Joey, and Felicia dive into the real-life headaches of being new attorneys in Alabama.

They swap horror stories about wrong insurance info and the absurdity of mailing a $1.50 check just to get a crash report. Plus: MapQuest nostalgia, unpaid phone consults that never end, and why you should never give your personal number to someone who “just has a quick legal question.”

It’s equal parts vent session and group therapy, fueled by caffeine, sarcasm, and questionable GPS directions.

Was it the bar exam… or the Twilight Zone? In this episode, we peel back the curtain on the surreal world of bar prep and the chaos of test day. From the strange, out-of-body feeling of studying nonstop, to unbelievable stories of car accidents, health scares, and mid-exam meltdowns, we share the reality of what it’s like to survive one of the hardest tests of our lives. Along the way, we talk study hacks, the guilt of taking breaks, and the heavy pressure that makes the bar exam feel like its own bizarre universe.

This week, we’re talking about a legal disaster you don’t want to board— growing AI use in the legal field (even generated case law that doesn’t exist). From Fly High Airlines to Scooter vs. Delta Junior, we break down real-world examples of AI hallucinations, made-up airlines, and complete legal gibberish in court filings. We dig into recent cases from across the country (including right here in Alabama), debate whether this is negligence or something worse, and share why new lawyers should always, always read the cases before filing. Buckle up, this one’s a bumpy ride.

This week, we’re taking a break from the heavy stuff and diving into the wild world of our favorite law school cases. From bong hits for Jesus to spring-loaded shotguns, we relive the cases that stuck with us—and the ridiculous hypotheticals that made us sweat. Along the way, we talk SpongeBob’s hash-slinging slasher, break down why conflicts class felt like a slow descent into madness, and share the epic shark drawing that got us through it. Buckle up for legal theory, bad art, and some of our funniest law school memories.

In this episode of Your Honor, We're New Here, things get real. We’re diving into mental health in the legal profession. From anxiety and burnout to bar exam pressure and post-grad exhaustion, we talk openly about what it’s really like trying to stay sane in your first year of practice. Plus, we look at stats from the last national study and share our own experiences with therapy and boundaries.

This one's got dark humor, honest reflection, and a heartfelt message: you're not alone. Seriously - check on your people!

In this episode of Your Honor, We’re New Here, we dive into the world of mentorships—what makes a great mentor, how to find one, and why they're essential for surviving your first year in practice. Kayla, Joey, and Felicia swap stories about the lawyers who’ve guided them, the safe spaces that made learning possible, and the awkward reality of asking for (and not always taking) advice. From discovery disasters to client questions in the checkout line, it’s a raw, funny, and grateful look at the people helping us figure it out—one “it depends” at a time.

In this episode, we’re diving into the nerve-wracking (and sometimes hilarious) reality of stepping into the courtroom for the very first time. From sprinting up to the bench to completely blanking under pressure, we’re sharing our unfiltered stories of first hearings—surprises, stumbles, word vomit, and all.

Whether you’re a fellow new attorney, a law student, or just curious about what really happens when rookie lawyers face a judge for the first time, join us as we laugh, cringe, and reflect on the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Meet your hosts—three brand-new attorneys fresh out of law school and stepping into the real world of lawyering. In this first episode, we introduce ourselves, swap some fun (and slightly embarrassing) stories from our journey so far, and share why we decided to start this podcast.
