 In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol) and Harumi (@angrybabylawyer) to pick their brains on how they balance their litigation lifestyle with their faith. As someone who is firmly agnostic - we could probably define my beliefs as 'there is something and I don't need to know what it is or to put a label on it' - it's always fun for me to chat with people about their relationship with their God in an honest and open fashion. Got an episode request?

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Nissa (@adustierstar) to chat about her life after trying to make "the law thing" work for her.

The first of a hopefully recurring segment with fan favourites Jennifer (@PDXJenni) and Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol)!

The second of a recurring segment with fan favourites Jennifer (@PDXJenni) and Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol)! For this movie night, Jennifer and Ian made me watch Al Pacino's Foray Into Big Law, aka The Devil's Advocate. Jennifer and her MA go up against a Boston taking swigs of liquor and a Canadian who visited New York that one time, as we dissect whether or not Keanu even deserves to call himself an attorney, how Charlize should never have had to get nude, and the deadly sins. Got an episode request?
