In this episode of 3L: Live, Learn, and Lead Like a Lawyer, I sit down with Emily Jenkins, Staff Attorney at the Tennessee Justice Center. Emily earned her B.A. at Rhodes College, where she starred on their award-winning Mock Trial team. After her graduation there, she proceeded on to the College of William and Mary, where she received her J.D. in 1997.Emily is an inspirational attorney, and her work in volunteer and pro bono capacities is especially impressive. She has worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, helping children receive the resources they need to survive and thrive in the community. She has also served with the Hard Bargain Association to help preserve the historic Hard Bargain neighborhood in Williamson County. This is all on top of her normal professional work at the Tennessee Justice Center, where she focuses on child welfare advocacy and assists clients in receiving Medicaid and SNAP benefits.Emily truly exemplifies what it means to be a servant leader in both her community and the profession, and it was an honor to speak with her. I'm sure you will benefit from her hard-earned wisdom, but I encourage you even more to gain from her wonderful spirit of generosity. In these tumultuous times, we need that more than ever.If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share with a friend!
