Hi I run a podcast called The Lawtrepreneur Briefing that explores what's makes a modern lawyer modern. We do this by having conversations with people driving the transformation of the legal profession.
Excerpt of the most recent conversation can be found here: https://twitter.com/lawtrepreneurco/status/1282688181419347968?s=19
If any of you have thoughts about the subject, I'd love to have you on. You can apply to speak here: https://www.lawtrepreneur.co/podcastguest/

It’s always people questioning how you got there when they know nothing about you OR putting you up on a pedestal like “wow so impressive, I cant believe you’re a lawyer, you must be so smart” or “it must be just like suits!” 🙄 When in reality it’s just a job like anything else that requires training to do well, so there’s no need to look down on or up to people solely on the basis of their job. I feel you 100%
i hate it but only bc next thing you know their cousin or uncle needs legal help with a wild landlord or a criminal case, and i can’t help them! i prosecute trademarks for a living!
I’m confused, like you don’t just say you’re an attorney?
I say lawyer now. I used to say I work at a law firm haha
I do as well. I look like a kid too, so I always get a very shocked look from whoever I tell.
Same!!
The only discomfort I feel is if they aren’t asking about me as a person. It feels like the automatic second question after name as if to say are you worthy of my time.
I love the question
I hate that question
Lol I used to feel embarrassed when they follow up - oh where did you go to law school? Like don’t try to size me up (even though I’m a T6 grad).
I don't. You've earned the title.
