Cold Call Lawcast Cold Call

On this episode of Cold Call, 2018 St. Thomas Law graduate Molly Hough talks to us about her experience as a recent law school grad. Molly is a practicing attorney who joined us on the podcast to talk about life as a new associate at a mid-sized law firm. Additionally, Molly recently passed the Minnesota bar exam and so we discuss the challenges and struggles of taking the exam.

During this episode of Cold Call we talk to Robby Dube, a 3L from the University of Minnesota Law School. We discuss his clerkship on the Hawaii State Supreme Court. Were we jealous that Robby will get to spend a year in Hawaii clerking for their Supreme Court? Of course we were!

Fear Factor - Law School Edition! The co-host must answer a current events trivia question; wrong answers and they must grab a jelly bean out of the bag of "Bean Boozled". Half the jelly beans in the bag taste like regular jelly beans and the other half taste disgusting.

It's Endgame for the co-hosts as the semester starts to wind-down. On this episode, we talked about what we learned, specifically what we learned about ourselves, this year and the challenges with seeking employment in a competitive industry. We also discussed our favorite TV/movie lawyers because we all joined law school based on what we saw on the television, right?

During this episode, we talk about the highs and lows of our first year in law school. Law School can be challenging and we go through our mental status at the end of the year.

Sarah Koziol and Cristina Cruz join the podcast as guest co-hosts. Sarah, who went to art school and is a self-described podcast snob. She critiques the podcast to hopefully (but don't count on it) make the podcast better! We also talk about our summer plans, why water parks are awful, and why the movie Legally Blonde is a great law school movie... Cristina also reads us some bad legal jokes.
