In this episode of 3L: Live, Learn, and Lead Like a Lawyer, we sit down with John Nicoll, Public Defender for Tennessee's 14th Judicial District. John shares his unique journey from serving in the U.S. Army as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer to building a career in private practice, and ultimately dedicating himself to public service law through his work in public defense. Along the way, he reflects on the values of servant leadership, the challenges and rewards of defending the underserved, and the lessons he’s carried from the military into the courtroom.Personally, John has been the biggest influence in my legal journey thus far. He allowed me to intern at his office even while I was studying music education, and he gave me a litany of skills and experiences that I could not have gained anywhere else. His generosity of spirit permeates all that he does, and that comes through beautifully in this interview.Whether you’re a law student, young attorney, or simply interested in what it means to lead with service at the heart of your career, this conversation offers valuable insights into practicing law with purpose.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, andshare with a friend!
