The latest episode of The Renegade Lawyers Podcast dives into a critical gap in legal education - creativity. Charley Mann, a seasoned attorney, shares a profound insight: despite the rigorous training in issue identification and problem-solving, law schools often overlook teaching the creative thinking process. Charley points out that lawyers are adept at spotting issues and crafting solutions within the confines of the law. However, the curriculum rarely encourages exploring the patterns of thought that can lead to innovative approaches in legal practice. This lack of creative cultivation means potential groundbreaking strategies are left undiscovered. In our conversation, we unpack the importance of creativity in the legal field and discuss how fostering this skill can revolutionize the way lawyers approach their cases and their careers. It's a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo of legal education and professional development. For those intrigued by the idea of integrating more creativity into their legal practice, tune in to the full episode. The reference link awaits in the first comment. Join the conversation and explore how thinking outside the box can lead to success in the legal world. #TheRenegadeLawyersPodcast #LegalEducation #CreativityInLaw #InnovativeLawyering #LawSchool #ProfessionalDevelopment #LegalThinking #LawyerLife #LegalInsights

Lauren was recently approached by a friend's daughter who is contemplating going to law school. It got her thinking: why did we go to law school? What should people know if they are thinking about attending law school? What do we think about any of our five kids attending law school? In this latest podcast episode we will talk about what drew us to law school. For me, it was "Covid" in high school. Perhaps it was the Golden Arches or backgammon for Lauren. Attached is a sneak peek to give insight into these bizarre references. It is about when I first realized that the law was something that interested me. For us, law school was a great choice. While it isn't for everyone, it also is not for a cookie cutter group of people who have the exact same skill set and interests. In fact, it is just the opposite: law school attracts people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. This is worth a listen if you are contemplating law school or someone close to you is considering that path. Here’s a link to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/ds8yBi2B

When facing public speaking anxiety and other stressors, lawyers and law students are often told to fake it until they make it or simply conquer their fears. Yet this advice is futile for introverts who rely on quiet spaces to recharge. How can lawyers (whether or not they are introverts) overcome these anxieties by leveraging their authentic personas, and how can law firm leaders support this practice?   In today’s episode of The Lawyer’s Edge Podcast, Elise Holtzman interviews Heidi Brown, a prolific author on how lawyers thrive and the Associate Dean for Upper Level Writing at the New York Law School, about promoting lawyer and law students’ performance and well-being. Heidi describes the difference between introversion and shyness, how she honed an authentic public speaking persona, and notable takeaways from her books.    Don’t miss this valuable episode!   #lawyers #attorneys #lawfirms #thelawyersedge #womeninlaw #publicspeaking #introvertedlawyers #legalwellbeing https://bit.ly/428hFtW
