Description

Jasmin Robinson is a trailblazing attorney and law school coach dedicated to increasing diversity in the legal profession. In this episode, she shares her journey from being the first lawyer in her family to founding Jas Talks Law, a consulting brand that has helped students secure over $2 million in scholarships. Jasmin emphasizes the importance of personalized guidance in the law school admissions process and her mission to empower future lawyers, particularly from underrepresented backgrounds.


Lawyer Side Hustles

In the podcast episode featuring Attorney Jasmin Robinson, the discussion highlights the growing trend of lawyers engaging in side hustles, particularly through her own venture, Jas Talks Law. This business not only serves as a law school admissions consulting brand but also addresses the significant underrepresentation of Black lawyers in the legal profession. Jasmin's journey exemplifies how lawyers can leverage their expertise to create additional income streams while making a meaningful impact in their communities. By helping aspiring law students secure scholarships and navigate the admissions process, she has successfully combined her passion for law with entrepreneurship.

“I didn't even look at it as a business. I just looked at it as something I wanted to help people,” shares Jasmin Robinson in Episode 168 of You Are a Lawyer.

By establishing side businesses like Jas Talks Law, attorneys can not only enhance their professional fulfillment but also contribute to addressing systemic issues within the legal field. Such initiatives not only empower future lawyers but also allow current practitioners to utilize their skills in innovative ways, ultimately enriching the legal landscape.
