Becoming Counsel is a podcast to really just help me study. I plan on creating quick episodes to review key legal concepts so that I can review them on the fly. I didn’t pass the first time, so I hope that these episodes will help me stay immersed in the law and reinforce what I’m learning.

    Clarification + A Upcoming Resources for Law Students.aifc

    In this quick episode, I clear up a common question about my path before law school. I actually applied while working as a management consultant — then became a Director of Technology before starting law school. I also share why I’m updating and releasing my class outlines: to give law students a simple, streamlined supplement for studying. These aren’t replacements for your coursework — the key is still knowing what your professor emphasizes. But my outlines can give you a roadmap so you feel more confident going into class and exams.
