In
this
episode,
I
welcome
Rena
Paul
and
Margaret
Gandy,
founders
of
Alcalaw,
to
talk
about
how
they
started
building
a
practice
around
trauma-informed
lawyering.
Rena
and
Margaret
describe
the
route
was
from
studying
in
law
school
to
navigating
their
way
into
the
world
of
law
to
establishing
their
own
practice.
They
also
give
a
piece
of
their
mind
surrounding
the
effects
of
cultural
awareness
and
the
dissolving
of
NDAs.
The
Jabot
podcast
is
an
offshoot
of
the
Above
the
Law
brand
focused
on
the
challenges
women,
people
of
color,
LGBTQIA,
and
other
diverse
populations
face
in
the
legal
industry.
Our
name
comes
from
none
other
than
the
Notorious
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg
and
the
jabot
(decorative
collar)
she
wore
when
delivering
dissents
from
the
bench.
It’s
a
reminder
that
even
when
we
aren’t
winning,
we’re
still
a
powerful
force
to
be
reckoned
with.
Happy
listening!
