37. Conversation with Heidi K. Brown, Director of Legal Writing and Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! 

Professor Heidi K. Brown joined us for her episode during her sabbatical year from Brooklyn Law School, where she is Director of Legal Writing and Professor of Law. Professor Brown shares her path from boutique litigation practice and brief writer to author and legal educator. She has published four books on predictive and persuasive legal writing and federal litigation and has written two books that help law students and attorneys "find their authentic lawyer voices" and overcome anxiety. A self-proclaimed introvert, her books include The Introverted Lawyer: A Seven-Step Journey Toward Authentically Empowered Advocacy and Untangling Fear in Layering: A Four-Step Journey Toward Powerful Advocacy. Professor Brown is an avid traveler and included on the Fulbright Specialist Roster. She studies Italian, has taught in Italy, and was awarded a Global Legal Skills Award in Verona, Italy. When she's not working on her Italian, she is often attending concerts of U2, whom she has seen 20 times, and we discuss the lithograph of Bono lyrics she has in her apartment. Every time I hear a U2 song now, Professor Brown comes to mind! Professor Brown regularly works with a trainer in boxing and finds that boxing lessons often inform her work. Her latest book, The Flourishing Lawyer, will be out next.
