Podcasts about women in the law

The Portia Project presented a live program at the Center for Women in the Law's Biannual Power Summit in Austin, Texas, featuring an interview with Greenberg Traurig Vice-Chair, leading trial lawyer, and AI innovator Lori Cohen. We were thrilled to be invited to the Summit—described as one of the most significant gatherings of women lawyers in the country and "a veritable who's who of influential women in the profession”—and are pleased to share Lori's career journey, grit and resilience with our podcast audience too. Lori's celebrated career hit a bump in the road when she inexplicably lost her voice. Her journey over the last two years to collaborate with her technology colleagues to create a new AI voice for herself, to allow her to communicate and remain in the courtroom, is compelling and inspirational.

We recently attended the inspiring Women In The Law symposium sponsored by the Federal Bar Association for the Southern District of Illinois, and several panelists discussed an ongoing issue….why are women still expected to handle emotions in the workplace? Shouldn't caring and compassion be leadership qualities of all genders? We certainly can't solve the problem in this episode, but we sure have a lot to say about it after listening to these impressive panelists.

According to Statista, in 2020, 37.4% of lawyers the US are women. That's a far cry from 1980, when 92% of practicing lawyers in the United States were men, and many jobs weren't even open to women. How does one navigate this professional terrain? M.C. Sungaila talks about her path in the law and her podcast, The Portia Project. The Portia Project is an oral history of women in law. M.C. created it to give back, and to encourage young women to explore the many ways a law degree can be useful in their professional careers. #BumpInTheRoad

In this episode, our guest is Bridget Bailey Lipscomb, Assistant Director of the Environmental Torts Section at the U.S. Department of Justice, and President of the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia. Listen in as Bridget describes her path, from growing up on the South Side of Chicago to working in the halls of power in Washington, D.C. We tackle the issue of women in the law, both marveling at how far things have come since the Women's Bar Association was founded in 1917 (three years before women's right to vote became a part of the Constitution), but also discussing the challenges women continue to face today in the legal world. Then, we get garrulous with Bridget about her college sorority, and how, just recently, she helped a young woman join that same sorority. It's a fun story, and also emblematic of Bridget's tireless efforts to mentor and be a role model for other women.

This episode of Behind the Lines: The Houston Lawyer Podcast is a companion to the Women in the Law issue of The Houston Lawyer and, like that issue, celebrates the accomplishments of women in the legal profession. It focuses primarily on celebrating how women lawyers excel at supporting other women, including colleagues, law students, and other women in the community who may particularly need the support of a lawyer.   The first segment, which is moderated/guest hosted by Nico Zulli, is entitled "Outmaneuvering Bias: How Three Women with Intersectional Identities Have Thrived in the Legal Profession."  It features Cindy Dinh, Brittny Mandarino Curry, and Jill Yaziji, whose conversation is centered around Kimberle Crenshaw's definition of intersectionality, which is "basically a lens, a prism, for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other.” The guests discuss ways in which affinity groups, mentors, sponsors, and allies have helped them navigate through their legal careers. In the second segment, "Lending a Hand: How Lawyers Support Women Experiencing Overwhelming Legal Issues - A Conversation with Anne Chandler of HVL,"  Anne Chandler discusses some of the legal challenges she has been seeing since the pandemic that disproportionately impact women in our community and how lawyers and law students can help HVL support these women. The third segment, "Providing Expertise: A Discussion with Three Women Law Students About How Women Lawyers Can Be a Resource for the Next Generation,"  features Andriana Webb of Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Victoria Harmeyer of South Texas School of Law Houston, and Chelsea Ogan of University of Houston Law Center. These women are on the executive boards of the women's organizations of their law schools, and they address what they need from women lawyer mentors and what their vision is for the future of women in our profession.This episode ends with some shout outs to amazing women from several different Houston women lawyers. Listeners will be uplifted and inspired by the guests on the episode, and it is well worth the time investment to hear what each of the amazing guests have to say about how to be a source of support to women in the profession, law school, and the community. Members of the HBA who listen to the entire episode can receive 1.75 hours of CLE with .75 ethics.

This week we are sharing something that we have been thinking about recently - the end of the year and all of that obligations that come up at this time of year.  As we approach the end of the year, the calendar seems to be getting shorter but our to do lists are getting longer and longer - professionally and personally.  For some practice areas, the end of the year can be the busiest season, there are items that must be filed or completed before December 31st.  But even if your practice area doesn't have end of the year deadlines, the month of December is busy.  Between work, holidays, kids school schedules, holiday parties, and all of the work that is needed to make it all happen, it's a hectic time. This week we are going to share the ways we try to keep the end of the year overwhelm under control with four strategies we use to keep the overwhelm at bay.1. Do something (even if it is small).The first step to combating that overwhelm that can hurt your productivity and keep you from getting through that to do list is to simply do one thing.  A small task is the perfect way to get started.  It is just like those snowballs that our kids cannot wait to craft this winter - start small.  That one small step will more easily lead you to the next step and the next.  Before you know it you have a huge snowball of tasks completed and it all started with one little task.2. Schedule your tasks.Take your to do list and your calendar together and look at them both.  Find a task that is time sensitive or time consuming and intentionally set a time to do it on your calendar.  You can allow yourself a buffer for those time sensitive tasks, while also carving out a specific time that is most convenient for you.  Setting an alarm on your phone is also a great way to remind yourself that it is time to work on that scheduled task.3. Keep a running list.The next strategy is to keep a running list for things that you realize you need or want to do while you are in the middle of doing something else.  We both find this strategy particularly effective.  As multitaskers, we constantly have random things popping into our minds.  Have a place for those thoughts.  It will allow you to keep focus on the task you are currently engaged with.  It will also ensure that you do not forget about the new idea and will allow you to easily transition later once you have finished what you are presently working on.4. Master a master list.The final strategy is to create master lists. These are simply lists to make things you have done before easier next time.  These are particularly useful for things that you will do again, but there may be a time interval so you do not necessarily have everything memorized.  These types of list are so valuable because you are getting the benefit of your hard work over and over again because you have already done it and memorialized it.P.S. - As bar exam results are rolling in you may be looking at next steps for yourself or for something special to gift to the law student in your life.  Give the gift of success with the ebook “The Law Student's Guide to Networking.”  This ebook gives you the strategic plan you need to build your professional network efficiently and effectively.  Click here to purchase today!Nothing contained within this podcast is intended or should be construed to be legal advice and does not create any attorney client relationship.  Please keep in mind that your jurisdiction will have rules of professional conduct that you must follow.  This discussion does not focus on the any such rules, including the rules from the jurisdiction where we practice.

We were thrilled to have Haylie and Samantha from Ladies Who Law School joint us for this week's episode! Tune in for a heart to heart discussion on being women in the legal field, and the importance of building a community.

Faye left law after realizing her failure to network had left her in a bad position! She also had a shift in her priorities after having children. However, she has since returned to law and is helping women to make a better plan from day one of their legal journey to ensure they see the long term effects of their actions. Failure to network today could lead to problems tomorrow, even if you are happy at your job. Failure to see the big picture may result in not getting where you want to do.

This Week's Show Archives - Mind Body Spirit Living At some point in the course of our careers, many of us contemplate or even fantasize about what it would be like to completely change the path that we have been following.  Though we may have years of training and experience invested into a particular job, company or industry, we can begin to consider if we might be more fulfilled listening to a voice that is telling us to take a leap and pursue something seemingly unrelated. The fear and uncertainty that inevitably come with this kind of decision often hold us back, but this week, our guest will share how she pushed through her doubts and fears to make a complete career transition after decades as an accomplished attorney. Anne Reed became CEO of the Wisconsin Humane Society in January of 2010, after almost three decades as a business litigator at the Milwaukee law firm of Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren SC. At the Wisconsin Humane Society, Anne stepped into the leadership of Wisconsin’s oldest and largest animal welfare organization.  Since 1879, WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need, and carrying out its mission to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness.  WHS helped to pioneer the idea that every animal available for adoption in a shelter could be free of time limits, taking as long as needed to be adopted.  WHS operates shelters in Milwaukee, Saukville and Racine, and a new spay/neuter clinic for the public in West Allis. Anne serves on the board of directors of the Shelter Animals Count, a national database initiative. She was named to the Milwaukee Business Journal’s “Women of Influence” list in 2015.  As a lawyer, she was named one of the Wisconsin Law Journal’s “Women In The Law;” was named to the list of “Wisconsin Superlawyers,” and authored a law blog which was twice named one of the 100 best in the country by the American Bar Association’s ABA Journal. Anne received her Bachelor’s Degree in English from Northwestern University, and received her Law Degree from Cornell.
