Lst's I Am The Law

Jaye Lindsay, a graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Law, decided after 3.5 years that he’d had enough. His first job out of law school wasn't glamorous, but the steady pay and hands-on litigation experience made up for a lack of health insurance and low hourly wages. But over time, he wanted a better standard of living and work-life balance. After going solo and finding it impossible to manage his average-size debt load, he decided to become a high school special education teacher and practice law on the side. This episode also offers a window into the economics of small law firms, the trade-offs that clients face when they cannot afford a lawyer, and how people juggle and evaluate life priorities.This episode is hosted by Kimber Russell. Mentioned in this episode:Blueprint LSAT Test PrepLearn more about BlueprintLSAT LabLearn more about LSAT LabMitchell Hamline School of LawThe law school is located in St. Paul, Minnesota.Learn more about Mitchell HamlineI Am
