    Breaking Down the Bar: Your Guide to Private Practice

    Law school is good at teaching you the law…but not how to build a career that actually works in private practice. Jeremy Ellergott is sharing his own experiences, and sitting down with fellow lawyers to bring associates the real-world guidance they need in their careers - and along the way, figure out what separates lawyers who are thriving, from those who are just barely surviving. Each 15-minute episode is designed for your commute, tackling one practical topic with experts from the trenches - like dressing for success, working with an assistant, balancing law with marriage, knowing when to take parental leave, and more. No textbook theory, no fluff - just honest conversations and actionable advice for everyone from articling students to senior associates weighing partnership. Season one debuts September 8th, 2026 so subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss an episode.
