    Mom's Development Day: A Mom MeTime Mini-sode


    In this episode of 'Ask Your Law Mom,' hosts Jen and Lisa have their first week without guests, since Veterans Day resulted in bringing their kids to work...and the ensuing humorous chaos. The abbreviated episode serves as a 'Mom Development Day,' focusing on reflections, including learning about AI hallucinations and when not to text the world. The moms plan future episodes and solicit listener input on law firm economics, retention strategies, and intergenerational communication in the legal profession.

    They also delve into favorite Thanksgiving dishes, useful kitchen gadgets, and the idiom 'red tape.'

    Nov 2 2024

    The law moms learn about new types of bar exams and get some law daughter "guidance" on our standard question. Plus, our most controversial episode (and the controversial has nothing to do with the election).

    In this episode of Ask Your Law Mom, hosts Jen and Lisa discuss their weekly experiences and various aspects of professional and personal life as lawyers and moms. The episode features a detailed interview with Jo Perini-Abbott from Lewis and Clark Law School, who explains Oregon's new licensure pathways and the NextGen bar exam. Additionally, the hosts interview Rachel Golden, a new attorney, about her transition from law student to practicing lawyer. They also discuss the week's highlighted product, the Pickleball Cocktail, and clarify the origins of the idiom 'dressed to the nines.' The show concludes with recommendations for podcasts and humorous shout-outs. 00:00 Introduction to Ask Your Law Mom 00:33 Meet the Hosts: Lisa and Jen 01:16 Podcast Origins and Social Media Update 01:50 Weekly Catch-Up: Hell Week and More 03:50 Amazon Returns and Voting Adventures 07:03 Upcoming Travels and Halloween Plans 10:06 Interview with Jo Perini-Abbott 15:25 Oregon's Bar Exam Innovations 39:17 Law Daughter Interview with Rachel Golden 50:51 Product of the Week: Pickleball Cocktail https://www.amazon.com/Jigsaw-Health-Pickleball-Cocktail-Raspberry/ 52:50 Fact Check of the Week: Dressed to the Nines 55:25 Just One More Question 58:01 Shout Outs and Closing Remarks
