Episode notes

Today, my guest is Ryann Peyton. Ryan serves as the Director of the Colorado Attorney Mentoring Program (CAMP), as well as Legal Entrepreneurs for Justice in the great state of Colorado. She is a former litigator (as she'd like to say, a reformed attorney) and she now lends her skills as an advocate for professionalism, diversity, and equity in the legal field, particularly through her role as the director of these two programs. We talk about a wide range of subjects, including the partnerships that they’re developing with these programs in the commercial world outside of the association. She’s delightful, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

In this episode, Neil and Ryann discuss:

Finding your passion (and having permission to change your mind).
What Bar Associations can do to bolster and sustain the next generation of lawyers.
How CAMP helps its constituents.
Being part of programs to build mentorship and networking to make a difference.

Key Takeaways:

If law firms and bar associations don’t recognize the changes in technology, they will not be able to sustain the profession and those practicing in it.
At any stage of your career, it is important to have a mentor that can help support you with where you are and where you want to go.
All the skills in the world will not overcome bad behavior. Who you are and your reputation mean everything.
Well-being is a core component of professionalism.

"The law has to shift; the profession has to shift. It has to meet the needs of modern clients; it has to meet the needs of modern lawyers." — J. Ryann Peyton
