Yes, You Can Balance Kids, Horses, And Biglaw Partnership
The best advice for the balancing act between life and career.
Corporate, civil rights, criminal, family, and intellectual property: These are just a few of the fields of law that you can specialize in. If you get to choose, which one would you like to focus on?
In this episode, I speak with Christi Campbell, partner at Duane Morris, and discuss the advice that Christi has for those trying to decide what practice works best for them. She also shares her advice for others on the path to partnership. Christi talks about what it was like working with clients on their brands during the pandemic, and what surprises she faced during that process. She also discusses how she balances pro bono work with her billable work.
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!
