A Judge Told Me She Would've Thrown Out My Case

Failure is part of the job, but it doesn't have to become part of your identity. In this first solo episode of The Whole Lawyer, I share some of the mistakes I've made during my first few years of practicing law, from missed objections and filing errors to a mock trial mistake that a judge told me would've gotten my case thrown out in real life. If you're a law student, young lawyer, or anyone navigating a challenging profession, this episode is a reminder that failure isn't the end of the story. The lesson is learning how to respond, adjust, and keep moving forward.
