In this podcast, Jeff discusses the attack on the Iranian terror regime by the U.S. and Israel — and the impact on the Middle East and the world. Will loud MAGA voices continue to do all they can to stop the fall of the mullahs of Iran? Or will they put aside their anti-semitism for the sake of America and the free world?
He was one of the highest billers in his firm. He was known for his legal and technical proficiency. He got stellar associate reviews. Yet he was told he wouldn't be promoted to partnership 9 years into his career (ever). Why? How can that possibly happen? What did he do? Listen to today's episode with my client and friend, Keith Rawlins, to learn: >>> Why partnership isn't just about how much you bill (or even how profitable you've been for your law firm). >>> What it takes to make partner (and then, equity partner) in a law firm. [Hint: mindset is key]. >>> How he transformed himself and his practice, making equity partner in a perfect-fit law firm 5 years later. This one is a not-to-be-missed episode. ***** Show notes and recommended supplemental episodes can be found at: https://www.lifeandlawpodcast.com/ JOIN SUCCESS WITHOUT SACRIFICE HERE: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/connect/ The post Episode #229: From “You’re Not Partner Material” To Equity Partner (In Just 5 Years) appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.
Eigentlich hat Sebastian Katharina nur gefragt, wenn 'das neue Buch' endlich kommt und schon durfte er in einem Kapitel mitschreiben (… so schnell kann es gehen). Doch was er zu schreiben und in dieser Folge zu erzählen hat, ist mehr als interessant, geht es doch darum, wie man sich am besten selbst organisieren kann und was es mit Arbitration eigentlich auf sich hat. Danach – da Sebastian auch ein ordentlicher Nerd ist – gleitet das Gespräch auch auf die ganz wichtigen Dinge des Lebens ab, wie (analoge!) Schreibwaren und Klemmbausteine verschiedenster Art. https://www.nerdsoflaw.com/2026/02/nerds-of-law-161-stationary-nerds-mit-sebastian-feiler/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-feiler-86385375/ BODENHEIMER auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/11703431/ BODENHEIMER auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodenheimer.legal/ Website: https://www.changing-perspectives.legal/feiler/?lang=de Moot Courts – der Willem C VIS Moot: https://vismoot.org/ Behind the Scenes beim BOHE Pre-Moot Treffen in Wien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FWtH2IMLcY GTD-Methode: https://gettingthingsdone.com/what-is-gtd/ TD in 20 Sekunden: https://youtu.be/PDnHaIoW4CA?si=eH7Dw58EHQwcVZSl Mehr Infos, GTD Seminare und Coaches in der gesamten DACH-Region: https://www.next-action.de/trainings/getting-things-done Podcast zu GTD: https://gtdnordic.com/podcast/ Software/Tools: MS To-Do: https://to-do.office.com/tasks/ Todoist: https://todoist.com/de OmniFocus: https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus/ Obsidian: https://obsidian.md Hipster PDA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_PDA LEGO Smart Bricks: https://www.lego.com/de-de/smart-play Subscribe to the Podcast RSS Feed https://nerdsoflaw.libsyn.com/rss Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/nerds-of-law-podcast/id1506472002 SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/12D6osXfccI1bjAzapWzI4 Google Play Store https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idvhwrimkmxb2phecnckyzik3qq?t%3DNerds_of_Law_Podcast%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7rmwzBy-IRGh8JkLCPIjyGMA-nHMtiAC Deezer https://www.deezer.com/de/show/1138852 Nerds of Law® http://www.nerdsoflaw.com https://twitter.com/NerdsOfLaw https://www.instagram.com/nerdsoflaw/ https://www.facebook.com/NerdsOfLaw/ Music by Mick Bordet www.mickbordet.com Nerds of Law ® ist eine Unionsmarke (Wortmarke).

From October 18, 2017: If you were unsure about whether your hosts are geeks, this episode will help settle the question. But before we get to what Professors Chesney and Vladeck think they know but don't really, here's the stuff they actually do know something about!First, the travel ban. Buckle up, there's a new nationwide TRO, out of Hawaii, enjoining enforcement of most of Travel Ban 3.0.Second, a double-shot of the Nashiri military commissions case. The Supreme Court denied cert., seemingly paving the way for that case to roll forward. But not so fast–all the civilian defense attorneys, including their death-penalty expert, have just quit, citing ethical quandaries arising from alleged government surveillance of attorney-client communications.Third, and speaking of surveillance, the Supreme Court did grant cert. in the Microsoft-Ireland spat, which raises the question whether a “(d) order” under the Stored Communications Act can compel a company in the U.S. to produce data that is within the company's control but stored on a server overseas.Fourth, and staying with the technology & statutes theme, there's a fascinating “hack back” bill now pending in Congress, with the best acronym ever: the Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act, aka the ACDC Act. For those about to legislate, we salute you. And for those who want to know what this bill does, we…well, listen to the show for an introductory primer.Fifth, and briefly, an update on the status of ACLU v. Mattis, which is the habeas petition the ACLU filed on behalf of the still-unnamed U.S. citizen held as an enemy combatant in Iraq.If you stuck around this long, perhaps you do have an appetite for bad humor and unwitty pop culture observations. In that case, you'll perhaps enjoy an argument about the right ranking of the Star Wars films, where the only disagreement turns out to be which was the very best and which the very worst. Or perhaps you fancy using Star Wars as a teaching foil in class? Stick around for some Law of Interstellar Armed Conflict discussions, not to mention the role of Greedo in illustrating the principles of anticipatory self-defense.

How many billable hours are you losing each week, month, and (gasp) year because you aren't tracking your time contemporaneously? Do you often write your time down (not reporting all the time spent working)? You're losing billable hours (you really shouldn't be losing at all). And you recapture those hours by: (1) shifting your mentality around billing (and what's even billable, plus why), (2) tracking your time contemporaneously, and (3) discovering the art of writing a good narrative (showing the value provided to the client). The how-to of all of the above (and more) is covered in today's episode with Molly Kremer (aka "The Billing Coach"). Join us for an insightful conversation that will help you stop losing so many billable hours and instead recapture them.

What do law firms really want to see from you to get promoted to partnership? How much expertise do you need in your practice area? Do you need to be running deals (or mostly, getting the work done at a high level)? And what about business development (what do they truly expect)?

You know someone in a personal context, who you think could be a great referral partner. But how can you possibly ask them when you've never once talked business? Would it be too pushy to ask? How do you even begin that conversation? You've been introduced to a potential referral partner by a colleague, and have lunch scheduled for today. You've never met and have only traded a few niceties via email. How do you say the obvious without being that person (the what's-in-it-for me slick salesman that makes you cringe)?

When revenues dip, billables drop, or client intake slows, most lawyers assume the fix is to do more (of whatever you've been doing). But what if the problem is what you've been doing (or how you've been approaching it)? Doing more of what you've been doing won't fix a thing. Before quickly stepping into action, take a moment to identify whether the problem is a math problem or a mindset problem. Because the “fix” will be quite different, depending on the root cause. Today's episode will help you get clear around the difference between a math vs. mindset problem so that you can more quickly identify the root cause and fix what's ailing you. *** ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ The post #211: Math vs. Mindset: Why Lawyers Need To Identify The Cause appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.

In this episode, Jeff points out the ridiculousness of the belief that President Trump has brought peace to the Middle East with the ceasefire agreement he got Israel and Hamas to sign. There is a mountain of evidence which makes clear that this ceasefire is simply a lull until the next war. In the meantime, the leftists/terrorists are making massive inroads into America and our failure to cut off the head of the terror snake will be our country's greatest failure in the not so distant future.In other news, Bruce Cutler has passed, at one point the most famous lawyer in the world.

One of my newsletter subscribers asked how to strategically choose their marketing activities. After all, there are a lot out there (many of which could work for anyone). How do you know which ones would be best for you (now)? Another subscriber asked about ways to expand reach with high-end clients (without being salesy). Although these questions are separate (and were asked by two different people), they're interconnected. Because strategic legal marketing is what uplevels both reach and clients (while narrowing down the options so that you can do what's best for you).

A former Chair of the ABA's Ethics Committee and a current member of Arizona's Alternative Business Structures (ABS) and AI Steering Committees, Lynda offers rare insight from the front lines of Arizona's trailblazing regulatory reform. Back by popular demand, Lynda returns to share the latest developments in Arizona's ABS model—a topic that continues to spark conversation across the legal industry. She and Mirena revisit Arizona's groundbreaking elimination of Rule 5.4, which paved the way for non-lawyer ownership of law firms. Together, they explore how the ABS framework has evolved, its current status, and what it signals for the future of legal services nationwide. Key Takeaways: • What ABS actually is and why Arizona removed the ban on non-lawyer ownership • Why lawyers and non-lawyers pursue ABS (succession, capital, tech partnerships) • Lessons from 140+ licensed firms and Arizona's compliance framework • Ethics guardrails and mandatory reporting requirements • Why Arizona prohibits ABS firms from acting as referral mills • Private equity: risks, opportunities, and legacy planning • How Arizona compares to other states like California and Utah • Where generative AI fits in—and what Arizona doesn't allow Chapters: 00:00 – Intro & Guest Welcome 02:30 – What Is ABS? 08:10 – Concerns & Safeguards 15:40 – Mass Torts, PE & Compliance 25:45 – Renewals & Firm Growth 34:35 – ABS: What's Next? 48:30 – Final Thoughts About Our Guest: Lynda Shely is a nationally recognized ethics lawyer and a leader in regulatory reform.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the assassination of Charlie Kirk by yet another deranged leftist shooter. As disturbing as the shooting was, the celebrations from the left — which included professionals, teacher and health care providers — were even more troubling. Jeff discusses what needs to come next if we are to avoid sliding into the abyss as a country.
Think you can't be a rainmaker because you're not outgoing enough or aren't interesting enough?

How do you use LinkedIn? If you're like most lawyers, you're probably using it to check out what other people are doing (and maybe repost a colleagues post or make an announcement every so often). Which means you're losing out. Because LinkedIn is more than typical social media. It's also a powerful networking platform for building relationships and having meaningful conversations. Listen to today's episode to learn my step-by-step framework for how to use LinkedIn for networking, and why it's a powerful tool for growing the law practice you want (sustainably). *** ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ The post #204: How To Use LinkedIn for Networking (Effectively) appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.
In this podcast, Jeff talks about his trip to Italy and love of Italians — and notes the many similarities between Italians and Jews and one glaring difference. Italy was great but the constant content making of young people in Capri annoyed him. Only this dopey, lazy mentality could drive the success of Zorhan Mamdani, a Socialist Hamas supporter, in the NYC mayoral race.

In this episode, Jeff returns after a few weeks off — and explains how one press conference in Chicago spiraled into a fabricated international incident with the Mexican government. Representing Ovidio Guzmán (El Chapo's son) became less about legal defense and more about being scapegoated by terrified politicians. In the end, free speech and the truth will always shine through. And the Mexican people? Jeff notes that his respect for them has grown exponentially.Also covered: Hamas' newest PR strategy — letting Gaza starve while hoarding food in tunnels and filming propaganda videos of emaciated kids (whose fat parents are somehow not starving). The lies grow louder, the propaganda slicker, and yet Western liberal and far-right Jew haters just can't stop blaming Israel and taking it out on Jews. All while the next mayor of NYC will be a Hamas cheerleader who wants government-owned supermarkets and to arrest the Prime Minster of Israel. The downward spiral that began in 2008 nears completion.And finally, Jeff goes full collector mode: a breakdown of the baseball card National Show in Chicago. Too many rooms, too many scammers, but one glorious vintage Orioles cabinet card makes the entire hellscape worth it.
