the philosophy that guides my work as a
lawyer is storytelling um I don’t think
it’s something that a lot of people
think about or associate with lawyers
but what it comes down to is being a
storyteller on behalf of your client so
you represent somebody in a case there’s
somebody else representing the opponent
in the case and a lot of times it comes
down to a competing story whether that’s
the story you tell the judge or the
story that you tell the jury humans are
all storytellers and they’re all
compelled by stories and so you want to
package your client’s case into the most
compelling story that’ll persuade
whoever you’re talking
[Music]
to yeah the experience that I have uh
for being a lawyer is a little bit
unconventional and actually goes to some
of the storytelling that guides uh me
being a lawyer i went to school for film
and communication studies uh and it
wasn’t until the last year of my
undergraduate when I decided to even
just think about being a lawyer and then
you start taking those tests and
everything and one thing leads to
another you find yourself in law school
and I was immediately intrigued by doing
public interest kind of work um on
behalf of individuals instead of
corporations or entities i like knowing
being able to look at any client that I
have being able to look them in the eye
and knowing that there’s an individual
there instead of something more abstract
like you might get representing uh a
corporation or a city or something like
that and uh I guess just fighting the
good fight from there
