Judge John Bates; a long-serving federal district court judge in Washington DC ruled that Donald Trump's executive order punishing the law firm Jenner & Block was not only unconstitutional, but that Trump's actions were "doubly violative of the Constitution".Notably, Bates (who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush) also delivered a pointed message to the law firms that decide to bend a knee to Trump instead of fighting his unconstitutional conduct.Glenn reviews the new ruling and order in the Jenner case, and also discusses who should stand up against Trump's unconstitutional conduct in the Jenner case and in other cases.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

⚙️ Feeling stuck in a never-ending loop of admin tasks, burnout, and 15-hour days? In this episode, former lawyer and law firm owner Adam Ouellette reveals the exact systems he used to reclaim his time, scale his practice, and finally walk away—on his own terms. If you're ready to stop surviving and start designing a practice that runs with less of you, this is the blueprint.

How to Pay Your Newborn Through Your Law Firm.

The law firm of Jenner and Block, whom Trump tried to effectively give the death penalty to and put out of business because he doesn't like their clients and lawyers, obtained ON THE SAME DAY, an injunction from Judge Bates blocking the Trump Administration from putting them out of business, and an injunction from Judge Burrows blocking Trump from putting Harvard out of business. Michael Popok provides his analysis that Trump really is a “uniter” — only emboldening courageous law firms to take on his Administration and zealously fight for righteous causes.

Elizabeth Catterall Ogilvie joins Jennifer Simpson Carr to unpack SHRM's newly introduced BEAM Framework—Belonging Enhanced by Access through Merit—and what it means for law firms navigating today's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) landscape. They discuss the five BEAM questions, explore how merit-based inclusion can strengthen talent strategies, and share how law firms can evolve their DEI programs in light of recent executive orders and court decisions.

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your productivity by confusing intentional planning with procrastination? Many law firm owners fall into a common trap of delaying tasks, but not all delays are created equal. Understanding the difference between virtuous procrastination and sagacious delay can transform how you manage your time, decisions, and momentum.   In this episode, Melissa explains how virtuous procrastination disguises itself as productivity but ultimately undermines self-trust and progress. By contrast, sagacious delay is a strategic, intentional pause that honors your commitments while allowing you to reschedule tasks thoughtfully. Melissa breaks down how these two approaches impact your ability to stay on track and build momentum in your firm.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/311

Profit First for Lawyers and You with Rjon Robins   Unlocking Profits for Lawyers: RJon Robins on Escaping the Trap of Traditional Accounting Are you unknowingly flying blind in your business? If your accountant is giving you a rearview mirror of what already happened, instead of a roadmap to where you're going, you may be sabotaging your profits—and not even know it. In this high-impact episode of The Profit Answer Man, we sit down with legendary entrepreneur, attorney, and author RJon Robins to blow the lid off common financial myths that are keeping small law firm owners broke, overworked, and stuck. If you're running a law firm—or any service-based business—this is the financial intervention you didn't know you needed.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: The shocking truth about why your accountant may be hurting your business. The difference between a financial accountant and a management accountant—and which one you actually need. Why Profit First is more than a book—it's a strategic doctrine of freedom. How to build businesses that are instantly profitable—and run without you. The mindset shift from sacrifice to profit (and why this matters more than your marketing plan).   Key Takeaways: Not All Accountants Are Created Equal: RJon breaks down why most small business owners rely on the wrong type of accountant and what that costs them in clarity and cash flow. Rearview vs. Roadmap: Traditional CPAs are historians. What you need is a strategic partner who helps you see ahead and build profit into your future.   Law Firm? No Excuses: If RJon can help lawyers (the ultimate billable-hour addicts) become profitable business owners, the rest of us have no excuse. Doctrine of Profit: RJon's core philosophy turns the typical entrepreneurial suffering narrative on its head. You don't need to burn out to be successful. Only 90 Days a Year: RJon now works in his main business just 90 days a year. He spends the rest of his time launching ventures that are immediately profitable. That's not luck—it's strategy.   About RJon Robins: RJon Robins is the 8-figure founder of How to Manage a Small Law Firm, author of Profit First for Lawyers, and a serial entrepreneur who has grown his business by 8,000% since starting from his kitchen table. A licensed attorney who speaks to thousands of law firm owners every year, he's built a business that runs largely without him—and now teaches others how to do the same. His latest book, Profit First for Lawyers, is a #1 Amazon bestseller, helping professionals stop sacrificing and start profiting.   Conclusion: Are You Stuck in the Doctrine of Sacrifice? If you're still treating profit like a leftover instead of a priority, it's time to flip the script. RJon and Rocky expose the lie behind the “work harder” trap and deliver the truth: profit is a choice, not a mystery.   Links: https://rjonrobins.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rjonrobins2/ https://www.instagram.com/rjonrobins/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D https://www.linkedin.com/404/ https://www.youtube.com/user/RJONROBINS?app=desktop     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this episode, Molly is joined by Ryan Kimler, The Net Profit CFO, to explore the ten essential financial metrics that drive law firm growth. Ryan shares his transition from traditional accounting to advisory, revealing how law firm owners can use metrics like cash flow, invoice volume, and expense tracking to gain clarity and make smarter, growth-focused decisions.   Key Takeaways:   Knowing the difference between invoice volume and average invoice size can make all the difference in understanding and growing your firm's revenue. Break your expenses into three clear categories—payroll, marketing, and overhead—so you can actually see where your money's going and how to boost your bottom line. It's not just about profit—understanding how cash flows in and out (including unpaid invoices and debt) is key to keeping your firm financially healthy. Many law firm owners try to pay off debt too quickly, without realizing how smart debt can actually help them grow. Don't try to do it all alone—bringing in a bookkeeper or advisor can relieve stress and help you stay focused on what really drives profit.   Quote for the Show: "The only way to grow revenue is to grow one of these two numbers. You're either issuing more invoices or you're increasing your average price." - Ryan Kimler   Connect with Ryan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryankfinancialclarityllc/ Website: www.netprofitcfo.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/rkimler   Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ Law Firm Admin Bootcamp: https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/WxXg1iXcggU

On this episode of The Geek in Review, we welcome Philip Young, co-founder and CEO of Garfield AI, the first AI-powered law firm approved for practice by the UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The episode kicks off with a discussion of recent stories that explore AI's evolving role in legal proceedings, such as avatars testifying in court and the ethical challenges that arise when deepfakes and synthetic personas enter the legal process. Philip, a seasoned litigator and technologist, draws from his 25 years of legal experience to weigh in on the potential and perils of AI-driven courtrooms, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and trust in legal proceedings.Young shares the backstory behind Garfield AI, which was inspired by a real-world problem faced by his brother-in-law, a plumber who struggled to recover small debts from non-paying clients. Seeing an opportunity to help small businesses navigate the small claims process efficiently, affordably, and with minimal friction, Philip set out to build a system that mirrors what a traditional law firm would do—without the high cost or time burden. Garfield reads invoices and contracts, verifies the legitimacy of claims, guides users through pre-action letters, claim filings, and even court preparation, all while remaining compliant with UK legal standards.One of the most unique features of Garfield AI is its dual design: it serves both pro se claimants and can be white-labeled for use by traditional law firms. Young explains how legal professionals can integrate Garfield into their workflows, using it to generate documents under their own branding while Garfield handles the backend. This hybrid approach provides flexibility for users, whether they prefer a self-service platform or seek a human-in-the-loop experience. Garfield's early success has sparked interest across the legal spectrum—from solo practitioners to regulatory bodies—demonstrating that AI can support, rather than displace, the legal profession.The conversation also delves into Garfield's journey to regulatory approval. Young describes the rigorous process of working with the SRA, ensuring the platform aligned with legal duties to clients and the courts. He highlights the importance of maintaining accountability and explains how Garfield was rolled out cautiously, with layers of human oversight and a roadmap toward data-driven, risk-based review. With increasing inquiries from international regulators and courts, Young sees the platform as a potential blueprint for improving access to justice beyond the UK, although he notes that success depends on a supportive regulatory environment, judicial openness, and sufficient technological infrastructure.Beyond the tech, the episode emphasizes the human element of law. Young passionately advocates for AI as a tool that enhances legal practice rather than replaces it—freeing lawyers from mundane tasks and enabling them to focus on strategy, advocacy, and client care. He shares his hope that Garfield AI and similar innovations will close the access-to-justice gap by enabling small-value claims to be pursued cost-effectively and fairly. As he notes, AI may never replace the human lawyer's emotional intelligence and presence in court, but it can certainly help more people get there.To learn more about Garfield AI and its innovative approach to legal automation, listeners can visit www.garfield.law.

In this stirring clip from Episode 47 of See You In Court, Professor Stephen Vladeck (Georgetown Law) joins co-host Lester Tate to spotlight a growing concern in today's legal landscape: law firms choosing political appeasement over principle.

EO 14281 poses significant challenges for employers because it seeks to limit disparate impact liability but clashes with established state and local regulations and laws, such as New York City's law regarding the use of automated employment decision tools. This tension underscores the increasing complexity of managing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven decision-making in the workplace amid shifting legal standards. This week's key topics include: the scope of EO 14281; conflicts between EO 14281 and existing federal, state, and local laws; and best practices to mitigate risks in AI employment decisions. Epstein Becker Green attorneys Marc A. Mandelman and Nathaniel M. Glasser unpack these developments and provide employers with practical strategies to stay compliant and address critical workforce challenges.

Are you holding your firm back by being too frugal with your business tools? Many law firm owners fall into the trap of cutting corners on essential tools, forcing their teams to cobble together inefficient processes that ultimately create drag throughout the entire organization.   In this episode, Melissa explains the difference between “expense thinking” and “investment thinking.” Expense thinking focuses on saving money right now, keeping firms stuck in reactive survival mode. Investment thinking, by contrast, considers what the business needs to operate at a high level both today and in the future.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/310

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mark Murphy discuss:The challenges and nuances of hiring the right talent for law firmsThe critical distinction between attitude and skills in recruitmentHow leadership traits can hinder effective hiring decisionsPractical strategies for improving the legal hiring and interview process Key Takeaways:Eighty-nine percent of new hires fail due to attitude issues like entitlement or resistance to feedback, not because of technical skill gaps, showing why firms must prioritize attitude in hiring.Top-performing teams rely on five key roles—director, trailblazer, harmonizer, achiever, and stabilizer—each providing distinct behavioral strengths that drive success.Interviewers can quickly spot problem solvers by asking about a past mistake and seeing if the candidate naturally explains how they resolved it without prompting.High performers use first-person and past-tense language when describing real experiences, while weaker candidates rely on vague, hypothetical answers using second-person phrasing. "I always tell leaders this: ironically, the better the leader you are, often the worse hirer you are, because you have to dial down your natural optimism and desire to see everybody be great." —  Mark Murphy Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

In a meticulously and persuasively reasoned 112-page legal opinion, DC Federal Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that Donald Trump's Executive Order punishing the law firm Perkins Coie is unconstitutional.The case is over, as Judge Howell granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs - Perkins Coie (though the case likely will be appealed by Trump).In a particularly powerful passage, Judge Howell notes that Trump has put a "cringe-worthy twist" on the Shakespeare line, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." The judge wrote that Trump's approach in his unconstitutional Executive Order is, "Let's kill the lawyers I don't like".If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
