Biglaw Document Review Is The Perfect Backdrop For A Legal Thriller

A must-read for fans of the genre.

In the latest episode of The Jabot podcast, I speak with Lindsay Cameron, author of the new thriller, Just One Look. The action in the book takes place against a backdrop of the most boring of legal work — document review — and the juxtaposition really works to heighten the stakes.

I chat with Lindsay about using her law degree as a great tool that opens up a lot of doors and opportunities. We also chat about her pivot to writing from her career in law. We discuss Lindsay’s process of writing her second novel and how different it is from the process of her first book. Lindsay also shares her advice for lawyers and legal professionals who are looking to break into writing.

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!
