Customer Reviews
JD non ABA approved career alternatives
Alternative careers in law go hand to hand with online schools offering JD programs. Such schools are increasingly sought after, because they are affordable, flexible and respond to most basic student needs in pandemic times.
Not every lawyer needs to take the bar to work in the legal field. I would like to hear more about career alternatives available to lawyers that don’t want to practice as attorneys and don’t take the bar. This podcast is refreshing! Thanks.
Helpful and entertaining
I am a Wash U school of law graduate. I find the interviews on JDCOT to be a great resource for anyone trying to learn more about traditional and non-traditional legal career paths. Also, they are surprisingly very entertaining. Good job.
More of an ad than a podcast
The content could've been good, but I guess I will never know since these "podcasts" are really <5 min snippets of the actual interview (which you have to go to his website and sign up to access). This is really unfortunate since I downloaded some episodes that looked interesting for a road trip with another lawyer.
