It's the 60th Episode of Personal Jurisdiction and we're celebrating this milestone with a timely conversation with Ross Guberman, Legal Writing Expert and Founder and CEO of BriefCatch. Ross shares why he left a Ph.D. program to go to law school, what steps he took from BigLaw to becoming a legal writing expert and author advising federal judges on legal writing and, eventually, how he started a legal tech company. We dive into the role of AI in the law and hear from Ross about his #1 piece of advice about legal writing.

Season 3 of Personal Jurisdiction kicks off with a conversation with David Lat. David Lat is a lawyer turned writer and commentator on the legal profession. He writes about law and the legal profession for his own newsletter and website, Original Jurisdiction, and for newspapers and magazines. You also know David as the founder of Above the Law, one of the largest legal news websites in the country. Hallie and Allison talk to David about what he enjoyed about the practice of law, how he developed his love of writing, the role of Above the Law in encouraging important changes in Big Law, and his thoughts on the role of prestige in the legal profession. We hope you enjoy the first episode of Season 3!
