Kristen is a DePaul College of Law graduate and currently works as the Owner of Lojewski Abuse and Injury Law. Since the age of 9, Kristen has had a burning desire to help others. Since that point, she was the second person in her family to graduate from College and the first to complete a graduate program. Her journey is one of a lifelong passion, bringing out just how much of a human endeavor the Law should and can be. Kristen and I started with her introduction to DePaul University College of Law, where, as a lover of school, she would excel in Law School. While she neither hated nor loved it, her experience was full of discovery. Coming in wanting to do family law because of her background, her perspective would be changed through her various internships and clerkships, showing the value of trying different sectors of the Law throughout Law School. We then moved to after Law School, where she would pursue work as a Trial attorney, and move to Florida, where she would encounter some bad experiences, speak on the importance of Company Culture, and then land herself at the Office of the State Attorney in Florida. Kristen would speak about the immense value of networking, talking, and finding those who are in the places you want to be, gaining their guidance, leading to massive success. Kristen would return to Milwaukee, showing her ability to pivot and try new experiences. Finally, Kristen and I would speak about the process of hanging her own shingle in the legal world, through Lojewski Abuse and Injury Law, which became some of the most fulfilling work she has done in her career. This episode with Kristen is a testament to being able to pivot in one's career when an itch for something new becomes apparent, as well as finding those lifelong mentors who can be a massive help and support system throughout any given career!Kristen's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenlojewskiŁojewski Abuse and Injury Law: http://www.lojewskilaw.com/Be 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.

"If your law school experience was anything like mine, chances are they taught you nothing in law school about the business of how to manage a law firm. In fact, they may have even given you the same bad advice that I have heard repeated from many thousands of lawyers who I have had the opportunity to work with over the years. Just be a great lawyer and the rest will take care of itself. Yeah, right." - RJon RobinsIn this episode, Karli sits down with Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, shares her law firm owner journey from struggling to hit $250,000 in her first year to being on track to break the $10 million barrier. She opens up about her resistance to putting profits first, the dark times of cash crunches, and how proper financial structures transformed not just her business but her entire life and relationships. Kate's advice for early-career lawyers: choose curiosity over resistance, and say yes to opportunities for growth and learning. In The Studio: In a clip from the recording studio for the Profit First for Lawyers audiobook, RJon Robins talks about how law school does little to prepare lawyers to be business owners.

Growing up, I knew I wanted to be an attorney since I was a sophomore in high school; my guest this week had me beat by 8 years. All of my peers thought I was crazy to have a kid right as I was about to finish law school; my guest this week earned her JD at night while working a full-time job. I could do more of these comparisons, but the point is that hurdles take on a lot of different forms, sometimes obvious but sometimes not. As lawyers we want the necessary facts, and while that's great for understanding a case, people are often a lot more nuanced. My conversation this week was one of the best reminders I've had in a while to slow down and get to know someone else's story. So with that in mind, my guest this week is Breeana Somers, a litigation associate with Ballad Spahr whose practice focuses on consumer financial services matters.Earning a place in 2024's “Ones to Watch” by Best Lawyers in America, her journey has been anything but traditional, but nothing short of extraordinary.Enjoy the show.

Law School Lemons & LSAT CeilingsBen and Nathan discuss how law school admissions resemble a “market for lemons,” where students face steep information asymmetries. They highlight tools like the Scholarship Estimator and 509 reports that help applicants manage expectations and avoid overpaying. While there are several ways to strengthen an application, none are as effective as a strong LSAT and GPA.⁠Study with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠⁠Watch Episode 512 on YouTube⁠0:26 – Law School Lemon LawDemon student Luca applies the “market for lemons” concept to law school admissions, emphasizing the information gap between applicants and schools. Ben and Nate note that schools often string applicants along without providing transparent pricing. Tools like 509 reports and the Scholarship Estimator help narrow this gap by showing what students might actually pay. Despite the added time and cost, applying broadly remains key to determining your market value.⁠The Disparity Index⁠LSAT Demon Scholarship EstimatorThe Market For Lemons17:36 – Getting In Isn't the GoalBen and Nathan discuss a Reddit post that shared an email in which the University of Oklahoma's law school advised an applicant to raise their LSAT score.

This Day in Legal History: Taft-Hartley ActOn June 23, 1947, the Labor-Management Relations Act—better known as the Taft-Hartley Act—became law after Congress overrode President Harry S. Truman's veto. Sponsored by Senator Robert Taft and Representative Fred Hartley, the act was passed in response to growing concerns about union power and post-World War II labor strikes that disrupted the economy.The law amended the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, also known as the Wagner Act, which had established strong protections for labor organizing. Taft-Hartley introduced a series of restrictions on union activity, including prohibitions on secondary boycotts, jurisdictional strikes, and closed shops—arrangements where union membership is a condition of employment. It also allowed states to pass right-to-work laws, which prohibit union security agreements.In a significant shift, the act required union leaders to sign affidavits affirming they were not members of the Communist Party, reflecting Cold War anxieties. It also authorized the president to intervene in strikes deemed a national emergency by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period.Though labor leaders condemned the act as a betrayal of workers' rights, and Truman called it a “slave-labor bill,” it marked a turning point in federal labor policy. The act curtailed union power and set the stage for decades of legal battles over labor practices. Its provisions remain influential in labor law to this day.Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national and Maryland resident, has been released on bail pending trial on federal migrant smuggling charges, according to a ruling issued Sunday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes in Nashville. Although granted release, Abrego may still face immigration detention. He was deported to El Salvador in March despite a 2019 court ruling barring his removal due to risk of gang-related persecution—an action officials later admitted was an administrative error.Abrego was brought back to the U.S. on June 6 after being indicted for allegedly coordinating a migrant smuggling operation involving over 100 border pickups and transporting drugs and firearms. He has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers argue the charges are politically motivated, intended to obscure the Trump administration's due process violations in his deportation.Prosecutors rely on co-conspirators who are cooperating in exchange for leniency, which defense attorneys say undermines their credibility. In a separate case, a federal judge in Maryland is also investigating whether the Trump administration defied court orders in handling Abrego's removal. The Supreme Court previously upheld the judge's mandate to return him to the U.S.Abrego Garcia ordered released pending trial on migrant smuggling charges | ReutersA Republican-backed proposal to cap federal student loans for professional degrees is raising concerns among legal educators, who say it could disproportionately harm students attending lower-ranked law schools and those from minority or lower-income backgrounds. The bill, which passed the House and is now in the Senate, would limit annual borrowing to $50,000–$77,000 and cap total loans between $150,000 and $200,000. Currently, law students can borrow the full cost of tuition and living expenses.The proposed caps would force students who exceed the limit to seek private loans, which often come with higher interest rates and stricter credit requirements. This could make legal education less accessible to students without co-signers or strong credit histories, particularly at schools with high tuition and lower job placement rates—factors that increase lending risk.Experts warn that students at unranked or lower-ranked schools, which enroll higher percentages of minority and first-generation students, could be most affected. For example, Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, which is unranked, reported a student body that was nearly 76% students of color, yet its graduates carry high debt compared to modest starting salaries.Supporters of the cap argue that unlimited loans enable tuition inflation and poor returns on investment for taxpayers. Critics counter that the policy may reduce diversity in the legal profession and limit access to legal education for underrepresented groups.Student loan caps could hit minorities, low-ranked law schools the hardest | ReutersA piece I wrote for Forbes this week looks at Illinois' reconsideration of a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax—an idea that failed to launch in 2019 but may be gaining traction again. With Illinois already levying one of the highest gas taxes in the nation, the state faces diminishing returns from fuel taxes as electric vehicles (EVs) proliferate and traditional cars become more efficient. Since road wear isn't reduced by cleaner energy, and EVs are often heavier than gas-powered vehicles, the funding model needs to evolve.The VMT tax offers a promising alternative: rather than taxing gallons of gas, it taxes the actual use of roads—miles driven—making it more of a user fee than a traditional tax. Ideally, it would be tiered based on vehicle weight, matching tax liability with pavement damage. Proposed legislation (SB1938) allows for variable pricing based on road type and time of day, which could introduce smart congestion pricing.Concerns about surveillance have been raised, but the pilot program requires only minimal data, prohibits personal data collection, and provides GPS-free options. The program is temporary, must last at least a year, and will include a full review covering equity, logistics, data security, and fraud prevention.Illinois has pushed the gas tax system as far as it can go and still faces infrastructure shortfalls. The VMT could represent not just a new tax, but a new way forward—fairer, more adaptable, and more sustainable. If Illinois gets it right, other states might follow.Illinois Vehicle Mileage Tax—Fix The Roads And Fund The Future This is a public episode.

Stephanie is a Cooley Law School Graduate and works as the Founder of Growthset Coaching. Stephanie's Legal journey was a constant tug and pull with the Law. With a Global upbringing and having lived in Costa Rica for a couple of years, College brought her interests together, and she decided the legal route was for her. Stephanie and I started after she graduated from Mount Holyoke College. She would go on to join the Women's Bar Association, which she highly suggests, and also become a Legal Assistant for a year. Stephanie described her pre-law legal job as a critical experience in preparing her for Law School, which is one of the best ways to build a network and gain great insights into what the Law School experience is like. Following this, Stephanie spoke about her first year at Cooley Law School, saying that it was incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and truly an experience unlike anything else she has ever encountered. She suggested how crucial having a support system is, talking to Peers at the school, and saying yes to every opportunity you can get your hands on. Also, Stephanie suggested using a physical timer to keep you focused and using your voice to study while cooking, cleaning, or any other daily activities. Finally, we spoke about her experiences after Law School, finding what sector of the Law she enjoyed most. Each experience would be delved into, leading us to her opening Growthset Coaching, something that stemmed from her experience as a TA, helping Neurodivergent Law Students gain the techniques and principles they need to flourish in Law School. This episode with Stephanie is a fantastic one, full of quick tips for those in and out of Law School to live out your legal dreams!

This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.

Stephen Nast is a Recent Graduate from Liberty University School of Law. Stephen's journey began after hearing his pastor ask, 'What would you regret not doing?' This moment would bring the law school to his attention and start his pursuit. Stephen and I started in his first year of Law School. With a family at home, he was ultra-motivated to succeed and navigate Law School with ease. He leaned into the curriculum and faculty to help him maneuver his way through Law School. While still challenging, Stephen was able to build an effective system for himself. Following this, Stephen talked about his two experiences outside of Law School, learning how to work with clients, and trying different sectors of the Law to see what sticks. His most important takeaway was to say yes to every opportunity, as you never know what lies on the other side of it. Finally, we spoke about Stephen's participation in Rhetoric's Moot Court Madness Competition, noting its uniqueness, and how legal tech can play an integral part in Law Schools across the country. We ended off with how faith and God played a crucial role throughout his life, and in Law School. Congratulations to Stephen for graduating from Law School and taking home a treasure trove of awards in his final semester. Stephen is certainly someone to look out for in the future!
