Great podcast for everyone - not just lawyers. It’s very interesting to hear about everyone’s background and what they do in their community inside and outside of the courtroom. Even if you’re slightly interested in law, give this a listen. You’ll realize that lawyers come in all shapes and sizes—and are doing great work across the USA. 👍🏻
