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 Wookie Kim, Legal Director at ACLU of Hawaii

In this episode of Personal Jurisdiction, we chat with Wookie Kim, Legal Director at ACLU of Hawaii, about what it means to be an active law student, how he benefitted from his time as a litigation associate at a large law firm, finding your "WHY," and the life-threatening experience that changed his career trajectory and drove his move to beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii.

Prior to his time in Hawaii, Wookie was an Associate at Quinn Emanuel in Washington DC and clerked for the Honorable Catherine C. Blake in the District of Maryland.
