From the first day of 1L year, the pressure to compete with your peers can feel overwhelming. But what if the secret to a fulfilling legal career isn't a higher grade, but a deeper connection?In this episode of the ABA Law Student Podcast, host Eve Albert sits down with Spencer Pahlke, a trial attorney at WalkUp, Melodia, Kelly, and Schoenberger and a lecturer at Berkeley Law.

Nima is a Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law graduate and currently works as the Founder and CEO of JusticeArch. Nima's journey demonstrates that betting on yourself and succeeding in that bet can yield the greatest dividends throughout life. Nima and I started prior to Law School, where at UCLA, he would cold call his way into his first job, and explore his interests in policy and non-profit organizations. Law School was always on his mind, and during the intermission between college and law school, Nimma recommended the various pre-law school legal experiences he had and just how impactful they were. Then we moved to Nima's introduction to Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, on a full scholarship. Going into his first year, Nima would face some health problems, making an already tough 1L year into a nightmare. But, despite it all, Nima persevered, a huge topic of importance for him. We then spoke about Nimma's various legal internships during Law School and his decision to open up JusticeArch in his 2L year. What makes the JusticeArch story so fascinating is that it was a completely different service at the beginning than it is today. After realizing what he sought in JusticeArch may not work, Nima would pivot into what it is today, a Legal Marketing infrastructure built by JDs, for JDs. Finally, Nima and I spoke about the biggest decision of all and why he did it, turning down an offer from Kirkland & Ellis, and going all in on himself and Justice Arch. Nima shows in this episode that the greatest bet one could make is the bet on themselves!Nimma's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nima-ostowariJusticeArch: https://justicearch.comBe sure to check out the Official Sponsors for the Lawyers in the Making Podcast:Rhetoric - takes user briefs and motions and compares them against the text of opinions written by judges to identify ways to tailor their arguments to better persuade the judges handling their cases.

Will is a George Washington Law School Graduate and currently works as an Assistant Attorney General at the Fraud and Corruption Unit at the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. Will's journey exemplifies the unique journey, with 11 years in between his graduation from undergraduate, to finally arriving at Law School. Will and I started years before George Washington Law School, speaking on getting that real-world experience in different industries, before Law School. Will wanted to go to Law School and had family who were lawyers, but felt the expense was not quite worth it. Will would do work in water systems for some years, and then decide to head down to Austin for his most ambitious venture, opening up a food truck. Will spoke about his 2-year food truck experience and the chaos that ensued daily. Will notes the hard times of running a food truck, making Law School all the more easier. Will then spoke on his 1L year at the George Washington Law School, which he enjoyed thoroughly, and then Covid hit and fundamentally changed his Law School experience.Will talked about the various internships and clerkships he had, and what he learned from them, leading to today, where he works as an Assistant Attorney General. Finally, Will and I talked about his book, Law School Essentials: A Grad's Guide to What Matters Most. We would speak about doing what you're good at, having a direction and being specific, having detachment from bad grades, and embracing failure to continue to improve. This episode will further show that no matter the age, and no matter the timing, your Law School journey is solely defined by you and your goals!
