WHAT THEY DON’T TEACH YOU IN GRAD SCHOOL…. Tenure is worthless. Depending on the institution, it is either too easy to obtain, or so difficult to obtain it will cost you years of your life. I remember a conversation I had with a Latino professor at the Stanford Law School, where he told me he hadn’t had a vacation in 12 years. Tenure might mean you can keep your job, but it does nothing to change a bad work environment. ?

Congratulations to our 2024 class of 1L Diversity Fellows! We are excited to welcome you to Goodwin this summer. Through our diversity fellowships, we focus on recruiting, developing, and retaining outstanding law students and lawyers who have demonstrated leadership skills, a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and success in overcoming challenges in their path to pursuing a career in the law, helping us to break barriers within the legal profession.

We're thinking differently. Our new approach eliminates the traditional "hire-back" process for Articled Clerks, allowing 2L Summer Students to advance seamlessly from Articled Clerks to Associates at Stewart McKelvey. This shift reflects our belief in long-term commitment, enabling Articled Clerks to focus on developing the skills and competencies needed to become the region’s top legal professionals.?https://bit.ly/4dESl2Z

It was a pleasure talking to students from Hove Park School this morning about my current progression into the legal profession. When I attended the Big Futures Show earlier in the year, I asked students what first comes to mind when they think about a career in law. The top two answers were either ‘being a criminal barrister at trial’ or ‘being like Harvey from Suits’. Hopefully speaking to students today, Matt Parr TEP, Angie Dodsworth and I were able to give them an insight into just how varied a legal career can be. #MWB #Legalprofession #Law #BrightonandHove

How did I become a Partner in Biglaw at 31? It's a trick question that you can't figure out without some background. The math doesn't math, as some would say. I started dual enrollment (taking college classes for high school credit) early on in high school. At the beginning of my "Junior" year, we sat down with my counselor and realized I was going to be out of credits soon. So that year became my Senior year, and I graduated a year early at age 16. When I graduated from high school, I also graduated with my Associate's degree through dual enrollment. I started at FSU the next fall at age 17 as a Junior (by credit). To maximize my time at FSU, I double majored in Finance and International Affairs. After 3 years, I graduated from college at 19. I started law school the next fall at age 20. Three years later, I graduated law school (no shortcuts there) at 23. I was admitted to The Florida Bar in September 2016. Now, I'm in my 8th year of practice. Over the years, I've had several people question my abilities because of my age. But age is just a number. Just because someone is younger than you doesn't mean they're less capable. The metric, instead, should be hard work and competence. #litigation #lawschool #lawpractice
