What do you call the smiling, courteous person at a bar association event? The caterer.  Ah, lawyer jokes. They may be good for a chuckle, but often that underlying (sometimes truthful) snark is what gives lawyers a bad reputation. That's where today's guest, attorney and author Melody Kramer, comes in. Melody has used her 20+ years as an attorney to literally write the book that tells readers why lawyers think and act like they do, and how clients can use that information to save money and work better with their attorneys.Melody shares some of her hacks for better client relationships (that focus more on humility than the typical “hard sell”). She also tells us about co-founding an organization for freelance lawyers, long before the gig economy took off. Listen to our conversation with Melody for a fresh way to think about the practice of law.

Intersection of Emotion and the Law Holly and Melody Kramer explore mindfulness in the legal realm through Melody's book, Lawyers Decoded: Essential Knowledge for Saving Money and Reducing Legal Hassle. Melody is trial lawyer, author, speaker, innovator and visionary who shares her experiences in the legal arena and how she continuously saw a lack of human connection and caring, and wanted to create change in relationships between lawyers and clients. Melody talks about how she has even shifted her fee structures to create a more peaceful resolution timeline, by giving incentives for handling cases more quickly. Some of her recommendation for creating positive outcomes during legal interactions include writing down goals, budget, and expectations so that a client has an upfront understanding of the path they want to forge with their attorney. Kramer also recommends a life affirming approach of writing your own obituary in order to provide insight into the bigger picture of one's legacy and estate planning steps that come from this.

Like I always say, if the markets are a-singin', you better know how to make 'em dance. Today on the program, it's a deep dive in the shallow pond that is NPR's Marketplace. We'll ask the question: are there Nazis in-studio forcing them to be like this? Or is there a more covert kind of fascism within the neoliberal soul? I'm Kai Ryssdal, and this sinking ship is called Marketplace.
