this podcast has been incredibly helpful as I begin my law school journey. I'm disappointed to see it stopped production in 2016 -- I would love to see its revival!

Description

I Am The Law takes a deep dive into the various practice areas and settings of law. We interview law school graduates with thought-provoking questions for an insider look into the realities of a career in law, recipes for success, and the biggest challenges lawyers face today.
