Ep 38: A Judge Told Me She Would've Thrown Out My Case w/ Akeem D. Earle, Esq.
Failure is part of the job, but it doesn't have to become part of your identity.
In this first solo episode of The Whole Lawyer, I share some of the mistakes I've made during my first few years of practicing law, from missed objections and filing errors to a mock trial mistake that a judge told me would've gotten my case thrown out in real life.
If you're a law student, young lawyer, or anyone navigating a challenging profession, this episode is a reminder that failure isn't the end of the story. The lesson is learning how to respond, adjust, and keep moving forward.
