In this episode, I speak with Heather Weigler, Assistant Attorney General at the Oregon Department of Justice, about escaping Biglaw and making the world a better place. Heather tried to eliminate the existential dread and unhappiness from work that affected her life and well-being. Gender imbalance in the legal realm further motivated her to volunteer to help women gain their place in the industry.
Tune in to know how Heather manages to be more than her last achievement, finding that unicorn of a legal job, and using stand-up comedy and TikTok as a release from job stress.
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.
