Episode 7: The "Prototype Lawyer" and Losing Identity in Law | Part 2

In Part 2 of The Prototype Lawyer series, Karen and Mo break down what it really means to step outside the mold of a traditional lawyer. Karen shares a candid story about her first trial, where mistakes, authenticity, and a jury connection shaped her approach to law.

They explore how law school conditions lawyers to imitate rather than innovate, why breaking the "prototype lawyer" mold leads to better advocacy, and how unpredictability can be a powerful tool in the courtroom.

From courtroom poetry to Muppet Chef humor, this episode challenges the rigid expectations of the legal world.
