Listen "War Stories or Warnings? Unpacking “Traditional Law” Horror Stories"
Episode Synopsis
Sam and Ashlyn dive into the darker side of the legal profession by exploring horror stories anonymously shared on the internet. These tales often get dismissed as mere "war stories" or accepted as just part of the job, but Ashlyn and Sam challenge that mindset.
They discuss why these experiences should not be normalized or passed down as part of the industry's culture. Hear from those who are too afraid to speak out due to fear of retaliation and understand why it’s crucial to confront these issues head-on, and continue to unravel these stories and push for a change in how we view and address trauma in the legal field. It’s time to move beyond the horror stories and work toward a better, more supportive legal practice.
