In this week's episode, the ladies talk with Guest Angela Vorpahl about all things "Big Law." From what it means, how to get there in law school and what its like working there after graduation.
To intro the episode the ladies talk about what it feels like to actually "take a break" and how it can be hard to turn your motor off! But what you've all been waiting for, an interview with a former "Big Law" associate turned law school coach. MAN, does she have great advice! She talks about her journey to law school and what it was like for her to go to law school at SMU. The ladies chat with her about all things from interviewing to pre-law jobs and scholarships, we even talk about the dreaded on-campus interviews (OCI). Angela also shares what she wishes she would have known before going to law school and sheds light on some of the differences between the work in law school vs. the real world. She shares her secrets to a good interview answer by explaining the "Broad-Narrow-Broad" approach to the question of "what kind of law do you want to practice?" Angela explains the transition from Big Law to another career in the law and quoted the book "Lean In" by saying "Your career is a jungle gym, not a ladder." SO TRUE. So take a listen and we hope you get as much out of this episode as we did!
