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.

#95: Let's Get Personal with Laura Ryan, Associate at Korngut Paleudis LLC

Law can be your second career! Today, Laura Ryan is an associate at Korngut Paleudis LLC in New York City, but before graduating from law school in 2024, she worked in restaurants and hospitality for nearly 15 years. A shift in the hospitality industry led Laura to law school - and now, she practices law in the areas of hospitality, alcoholic beverage, real estate, and corporate law, serving clients such as restaurant and bar owners. This conversation with Laura is a great perspective both on law as a second career and on how you can use the skills, relationships, and interests you developed prior to law school to create a practice that works for you.
