Why You Really Should Join A Bar Association...
You aren't alone in dealing with the challenges of a demanding career.
On the most recent episode of The Jabot podcast I chat with Maria Vathis, president-elect of the national Federal Bar Association and of counsel at Bryan Cave in Chicago. She talks about her goals and special projects while acting as President of FBA, strategies for younger associates to create that elusive work/life balance, and the challenges she faced as a young female attorney.
The podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let’s be real — it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies.
Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that — even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Not All Legal AI Is Created Equal
