Michael Freedman joins Nathan on Thinking LSAT to share his story as a trial lawyer in some of the nation's most high-profile criminal cases. Along the way, he shares candid advice for law students about finding their path, building experience, and starting a firm. Michael emphasizes the importance of treating law school like a job, embracing trial work, and nurturing every professional relationship.4:00 – UC HastingsMichael recalls feeling bored during his 1L year but loving 2L because he finally began interacting with real lawyers. Nathan encourages students to approach law school the way Michael did. Michael offers two practical tips for success: treat law school like a 9-to-5 job and intentionally build life balance outside of school.27:10 – Federal Clerkship and Government PositionDespite participating in OCI, Michael didn't land a Big Law job. Instead, he worked during law school for a trial lawyer focused on white-collar defense, which helped him confirm his passion for criminal trial work. The client relationship aspect deeply appealed to him, influencing his decision to clerk after graduation. He landed a prestigious clerkship on the Ninth Circuit. While many of his peers moved into Big Law after clerking, Michael opted for a government role to gain more courtroom experience. When he eventually reached the typical endpoint for federal positions, he chose to start his firm rather than join another existing one.27:23 – Starting the Freedman FirmTo build his practice, Michael accepted every case, no matter the size, emphasizing that no case was too small in those early days. He believes that founding a firm requires an entrepreneurial mindset—one must enjoy thinking about how to acquire clients, how to handle hiring, and how to manage payroll. He later brought on another partner to help handle larger, more demanding cases.33:41 – Big Profile CasesMichael's work eventually led to invitations to co-counsel on major white-collar criminal cases, including representing Bill Cosby, working on R. Kelly's trial, and participating in Harvey Weinstein's appeal. Much of this work was in collaboration with Jennifer Bonjean, a highly respected trial attorney based in Chicago. These opportunities didn't happen by accident. They stemmed from years of deliberate effort in building strong professional relationships. Michael treats his referral sources like clients themselves, ensuring they're proud to be associated with his work and satisfied with the results he delivers.40:41 – Should Our Students Do What You Do?Michael poses a fundamental question to students: Do you know what kind of lawyer you want to be? He encourages students to take advantage of every opportunity to gain hands-on experience. Law firms require a diverse range of personalities and backgrounds to serve their clients effectively. He urges students to attend court and introduce themselves to lawyers, not just to network, but to genuinely learn. A sincere interest in the work can lead to meaningful opportunities.

Eric is a graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law and currently works as a Litigation Attorney at WGK Personal Injury Lawyers. Not only have I known Eric since I was 5, but hearing his riveting journey to the Law was a full-circle moment for me, and an excellent episode that anyone can learn from! Eric and I started before his introduction with his first run-in with Law School at Touro Law Center. Eric always wanted to be a Lawyer since he was 5 years old, with many of his relatives being Lawyers, and working in his Uncle's Law Office since he was young. Following his graduation from Plattsburgh, Eric would head off to Touro Law Center. Although after his father, my legendary lifetime lacrosse coach, was struck with cancer in the fall, Eric would miss out on the GPA minimum in his first semester and would be dismissed. But this wouldn't stop him, as the following fall, he would land himself at the University of Baltimore School of Law. With a new city to explore and having the prior experience of 1L, Eric would excel in his first year and beyond in Law School. Eric and I would discuss the various experiences he had throughout Law School, and how he came to find out that Personal Injury Litigation would be the path for him. Finally, we spoke about his post-Law School experiences and where he works today at WGK Personal Injury Lawyers. He spoke about identifying a company's culture and learning how to build up cases. He emphasized asking questions and always being available to help at any opportunity. This episode with Eric was a sentimental one for me, and I would be remiss not to shout out the entire Suris family for all that they have done for me and my family throughout the years!

Steven is a 1L at Drake University Law School. Steven's journey to the law has just begun, but with insights fresh in his mind about the success he's gained, he delivers valuable insights for anyone out there. Steven and I started before Law School, where he was deciding between heading off to Med School or going to Law School. Due to his prior experience being a part of EMS services, which he is still an instructor of today, he felt that he was a he being a reactive advocate. Going to law school would allow Steven to be a proactive advocate. Even with no prior legal connections, Steven headed off to Drake University Law School.We then reflected on Steven's first year of Law School this past year, which he loved. It represented a new challenge and material that he had never encountered before. Through different iterations of study systems and managing his time, Steven would accomplish incredible success in his first year. Finally, we spoke about Steven's participation in Rhetoric's Moot Court Madness, the first nationwide AI-judged Moot Court competition. Steven spoke about his experience in the competition thus far, as well as reaching the semifinals of the competition. Steven would add great book and tech recommendations, as well as amazing tips about not only surviving but succeeding in your first year of Law School.

Christopher is a New England Law graduate and currently works as the CEO of Earley Law Group, as well as being an author of numerous books. Chris's journey started with him not knowing what he wanted to do. He didn't mind school, and didn't mind the grind, and embarked on his journey to Law School, just to fall in love with it all! Chris and I would continue down his path, discussing his 1L year, which he neither loved nor hated, as it was full of doubt and adversity. Although he did not mind the rigor of Law School, and began to realize he was exercising new muscles in his brain that he had not used previously it. He then went on to speak about the rest of Chris's Law School experience and his eventual graduation from Law School, where he entered a barren and tough job market. In classic Chris fashion, he would start out on his own, opening the Earley Law Group. For the last two decades, Chris has taken Earley Law Group to unimaginable heights, which has led us to him delivering an unbelievable amount of wisdom! Finally, Chris speaks about taking action, being proactive, creating opportunities, being bold, emotional intelligence, and so, so much more.

Rasul is a 2L at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. Rasul's journey is one of the best this podcast has ever had to offer. From tire technician to College Valedictorian and Rhodes Scholar finalist, and now a rising 2L and an upcoming 3L Class President at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law.Rasul and I started before he arrived at college. Being an average High School Student, Rasul did not have many intentions of attending college. Inspired by a coworker at BJ's, he would begin his search. After finding out a scholarship could get him to Prince George's Community College for free, he would start his unforgettable journey. Following his time at Prince George's, Rasul finished his time at Towson University, being top 1% of his class, President of numerous organizations, a Rhodes Scholar finalist, and finally, Valedictorian Speaker. We then moved to his introduction into Law School, his 1L year, which he thoroughly enjoyed. It was a thought-provoking experience and a testament to the hard work he had accomplished in the 4 years before it. Even with the large workload, Rasul would become 1L Class President and follow his intellectual curiosity, speaking on the many internships he has held thus far. This episode with Rasul is one of my favorites of all time, full of amazing stories and a testament to pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and not limiting yourself, no matter what.

Zak is a 2L at Widener Delaware Law, and currently works as the Founder of Balancing the Scales. Zak's journey is a testament to not only taking opportunities, but making your own! Zak and I start prior to his arrival to Delaware Law, where Zak would participate in fascinating Pre-Law programs, being Eversheds Sutherland Scholar, as well as an Afro Scholar at Kirkland Ellis. These experiences would lay the foundations for his interest in Law School, as well as what he would want to do in the future, as they touched on all areas of the Law, with a wealth of experience. We then moved to Zak's first year of Law School, where it was extremely difficult but by leveraging the mentors and connections from the Pre-Law programs it allowed him to get a better understanding of the material. Zak would key in on how vital setting and sticking to your expectations and goals is in terms of grades. Zak would be in the top of his class, and they directly aligned to the action steps he was taking. During spring semester of his 1L year, after finding a lack of resources for pre-law and law students alike, Zak would take the initiative and found Balancing the Scales, a passion project and brainchild of Zak as he sought to "level the playing field" by increasing access to information and resources for diverse and first-generation law students. Through webinars, mentorship, networking events, and scholarship opportunities, the Balance The Scales platform is intended to do exactly what its name suggests.Finally, we went through Zak's internships and their impact on his future plans, finding areas that are interesting and intellectually challenging. Zak suggests to those going to Law School and those in it to send emails to professionals and build out a network of veteran lawyers to help and support them through their journey. This episode with Zak further shows how important it is to take the initiative and create opportunities for yourself that will pay dividends for the rest of your life!

Steve is a UConn School of Law Graduate and currently works as the organizing and Network Director at the People's Parity Project. This episode dives into one of the most compelling journeys yet, showcasing how winding roads often lead to powerful destinations. Steve's story embodies the very essence of this podcast: that there's no straight pathway into the legal field, only your unique journey!We kicked things off nearly two decades before law school ever crossed Steve's mind. A Boston University chemistry major, Steve made a bold decision to leave school and join the US Army. Later, he returned to finish his degree and launched a career as a researcher and scientist. But it was a legal struggle with the US Army that opened his eyes to the power of the law—sparking a passion he didn't yet realize.While still immersed in his scientific career, Steve dedicated more of his time to veterans' legal services. Gradually, his love for science waned as his commitment to law grew. Eventually, Steve took the plunge and enrolled at UConn School of Law.Law school wasn't smooth sailing. Just as Steve began his 1L year, the birth of his child and a major car accident set him back by a month. Yet, he powered through, leveraging the discipline and problem-solving skills he'd honed as a scientist.Our conversation reveals his evolving interest in public interest law, a field that calls to him deeply. Steve's clear sense of purpose has been his compass, helping him find joy and resilience through every challenge.Today, Steve is part of the People's Parity Project, rallying law students nationwide to make real changes in public interest law. From veterans' rights to systemic reform, Steve's work inspires others to bring about meaningful change.His journey reaffirms something I've long believed: anyone, regardless of background, can step into the field of law and make an impact.

Bradley is a Capital University Law School graduate and currently works as the Managing Member and Attorney at Miller Law and the Founder of the New Modern Lawyer Podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Bradley, a trailblazer in the world of virtual law firms. His path to becoming a lawyer is one of self-discovery and innovation, beginning with a dream of becoming a judge and evolving into something much more.Bradley and I dive into the early challenges he faced in law school, from the culture shock of transitioning from undergrad to navigating the rigors of 1L. But it was his unwavering solo attitude—his ability to carve out his path—that became a defining characteristic throughout his career.Right after law school, Bradley took the bold step of hanging his shingle. This move set the stage for him to join Burton Law and help pioneer one of the first virtual law firms—back in 2011 when working remotely as a lawyer was almost unheard of. Fast forward to the pandemic, and Bradley's approach became the blueprint for modern legal practice.We discuss his role as a lawyer transformation coach and his podcast, The New Modern Lawyer, where he shares key principles of virtual law and insights from the CLEs he's led over the years. Finally, we zero in on goal-setting and the importance of being intentional, specific, and relentless in pursuit of what you want.Bradley's wisdom on virtual law, personal discipline, and the future of the legal profession is not to be missed.

Ayyan is a University of Cal Berkeley School of Law Graduate and works as an Associate at A&O Shearman. In this episode, I sit down with Ayyan, a fellow Long Island native whose path has taken him from the familiar shores of Stony Brook University to the dynamic halls of UC Berkeley School of Law. Ayyan's journey is a compelling narrative of self-discovery, shaped by the people he's met and the places he's been.We kick things off by exploring Ayyan's transition from the East Coast to the West. He shares his experiences navigating the challenges of his 1L year in a completely new environment, where knowing no one forced him to rely on self-care and build a support system from the ground up. Ayyan offers valuable insights on how to strategically approach law school—choosing the right classes and internships to not just survive, but thrive.As we progress through Ayyan's career, we delve into his time as a clerk at the Nevada Supreme Court, a period he describes as pivotal for reflection and self-discovery. It's here that Ayyan began to crystallize his vision for what he wanted—and didn't want—from a career in law.Though Ayyan's journey in the legal field is just beginning, his insights are anything but ordinary. Whether you're a law student, early in your legal career, or simply someone looking to carve out your path, Ayyan's story offers a treasure trove of wisdom on navigating law school, finding mentors, and crafting a career that aligns with your values.Ayyan's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ayyan-zubair-a7547ab8Be 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.

CardioNerds cofounders, Dan Ambinder joins Drs. Aishwarya Pastapur, Oyinkansola Osobamiro, and Rafik Issa from the University of Michigan for drinks in Ann Arbor. They discuss the following case of pericardial decompression syndrome. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Brett Wanamaker. Notes were drafted by Dr. Aishwarya Pastapur and Dr. Rafik Issa. The episode audio was engineered by CardioNerds Intern student Dr. Atefeh Ghorbanzadeh. A woman in her 50s with a past medical history of stage IV lung cancer (with metastatic involvement of the liver, bone, and brain), previous saddle pulmonary emboli, pericardial effusion, and malignant pleural effusions presents with dyspnea. She was found to have a pericardial effusion with tamponade physiology relieved by pericardiocentesis. We discuss the management of cardiac tamponade, indications for pericardiocentesis, how to monitor for post-pericardiocentesis complications, and what to keep on your differential diagnosis for decompensation after pericardiocentesis. We discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of pericardial decompression syndrome. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Case Media - Pericardial Decompression Syndrome Pearls - Pericardial Decompression Syndrome Diminished heart sounds, a low-voltage EKG with electrical alternans, elevated jugular venous pressure/pulsations (JVP), and the presence of pulses paradoxes are important findings that could suggest tamponade. McConnell sign is strongly concerning for right ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension, potentially due to acute pulmonary embolism. Mechanical thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism is not feasible if the emboli are diffusely scattered without a central lesion to target. For patients who experience decompensation following pericardiocentesis, consider perforation, tamponade re-accumulation, or pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS). When possible, avoid draining more than 1L of pericardial fluid at once to minimize the risk of PDS. Notes - Pericardial Decompression Syndrome What is Pericardial Decompression Syndrome (PDS), and how does it present? Pericardial decompression syndrome is a rare, life-threatening syndrome occurring in about 5-10% of cases with paradoxical worsening of hemodynamics after pericardial drainage. The clinical presentation ranges from pulmonary edema to cardiogenic shock to death, occurring a few hours to days after a successful pericardiocentesis. What is the underlying mechanism for PDS? The pathophysiology behind PDS is debated, but there are three proposed mechanisms: Paradoxical Hemodynamic Derangement: After pericardiocentesis, venous return to the RV rapidly increases, resulting in RV expansion and potentially septal deviation towards the LV. Subsequently, the LV experiences decreased preload while still facing increased afterload as a compensatory response to obstructive shock, leading to decompensation.Myocardial Ischemia: Increased intrapericardial pressure may impair coronary perfusion, leading to myocardial ischemia. Upon pericardiocentesis, there is myocardial stunning with increased demand due to increased venous return and cardiac output Sympathetic Withdrawal: Withdrawal of sympathetic activation after drainage of pericardial fluid can trigger cardiovascular collapse What are the risk factors for developing PDS, and how can we mitigate those risks for prevention? Generally, patients with long-standing pericardial effusion with chronic compression of the heart, such as those with malignant pericardial effusions, are more vulnerable to developing PDS after pericardioc...

1L strategy coach Angela Vorpahl returns to Thinking LSAT to discuss five common but misguided pieces of advice for incoming law students. She explains why these conventional 1L strategies fall short and suggests more effective alternatives. LSAT Demon LSAT Demon iOS App LSAT Demon Daily Watch Episode 454 Thinking LSAT YouTube LSAT Demon YouTube 3:08 - Class Prep vs. Exam Prep - Law professors insist that students should thoroughly read each assigned case. But reading every line of every case takes a huge amount of time. Angela advises students to invest their time in study methods that have a greater impact on their final grade. 20:15 - Note-Taking Strategies - Research suggests that students who take notes by hand might retain more information than students who type their notes. But for Angela's preferred method of note-taking, handwriting notes simply isn't fast enough. 33:05 - Study Supplements - Some law school traditionalists vilify study supplements like hornbooks, and they label students who use them as lazy. But these supplements aren't shortcuts; they're vital study tools—especially when professors routinely fail to teach the material in a straightforward way. 46:33 - Outlining Is Not Enough - A good outline may be necessary to succeed on law school exams, but it's not sufficient. Angela describes the extra study step that students should take after outlining. 56:21 - IRAC - “Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion” (IRAC) has long been the popular structure for legal analysis in law school. But Angela argues that IRAC misses the most important part of how students score points on final exams. 1:07:28 - Intermediate Conclusions - Don't worry too much about identifying intermediate conclusions. Focus on what the argument says. 1:16:26 - Academic Suspension - Nathan and Ben follow up on last week's story about an applicant who wants to remove an academic suspension from their transcript. 1:18:46 - Word of the Week - Halo Top is execrable.
