Personal Jurisdiction
Welcome to Personal Jurisdiction! per·son·al ju·ris·dic·tion | \ ˈpər-sə-nəl \ˌju̇r-əs-ˈdik-shən When you look up “Personal Jurisdiction” in Black’s Law Dictionary, it directs you to the entry for “Jurisdiction.” We won’t do that to you. We’re here because there’s not enough good information available for law students and new attorneys to make informed choices about their careers. Join co-hosts Allison Freedman and Hallie Ritzu as we talk to a variety of people within the first 10ish years of practice to hear about their journeys to fulfilling careers and the advice they have for getting there. From government to start-ups; politics to academia; in-house to legal aid—we’ll get the scoop on what it’s really like to work in different areas of the law, so you can chart your own course for success.

Let's Get Personal with Katie O'Neill, Healthcare Attorney at Sheppard Mullin and Registered Nurse

Our conversation with healthcare attorney Katie O'Neill takes us from the emergency room to the administrative law classroom, from Chicago to California and back again. In episode 68, Katie emphasizes the importance of understanding clients' businesses to provide effective legal advice. She explains how she draws from her nursing background in her work as a healthcare attorney and highlights the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that translate from her nursing experience into her legal work. Katie also encourages law students to focus on their strengths and passions, advising them to leave room for creativity in their careers and in their personal lives.
