Making The Legal Industry More Human In a Post-COVID World

We can do better, and we should.

On today’s episode of The Jabot, I’m joined by Leigh Vickery. She’s the Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at Level Legal, as well as an entrepreneur — she’s the founder of a queso company, Queso Mama. We talk about her turn from a cheese dip maven to legal technology, the kinds of changes the legal industry should be making to make greater diversity strides, the ways the legal industry is changing as a result of COVID-19, and how this is a moment for innovation in the industry.

The Jabot 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. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore 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.

Happy listening!
