I think about it all the time because I was at my law firm for a really long time and it was a great experience in terms of, you know, skill building, issue spotting, just learning how to write well, which I think, I mean, has translated to my career, even to today.
I wanted to when I got to prep a witness or go to court or, you know, head up an employee group, which I did a lot of, you know, the employee.
But, you know, it was to the employees talking about, you know, problems they were having and how to be a parent and a lawyer at the same time and and employee morale and things like that or, you the group for, I think they were called employee resource groups, right? So like women in law group.
And so I found myself doing a lot of that because I really craved sort of like the interpersonal connection that I wasn't getting when I was in my office writing a brief, right? And I think over time, I really ended up enjoying and learning a lot from sort of like the white collar defense work, because I could meet with a witness and prep a witness for eight hours.
And I loved that rather than just sitting and writing and, you know, handing something to a partner who is then going to edit or rewrite it themselves.
What was it about that like prep work that was so interesting? Was it kind of finding the angle or?
Yeah, it was it was first of all, it was action, right? It was like it was it was talking to people.
It was prepping someone so that they were confident and able to perform in the way they should perform, you know, at a deposition or at a, you know, invested, you know, invested in an investigatory interview or something like that.
