Everyone knows law school doesn’t teach you a thing about practicing law as an actual attorney! Law schools are great when it comes to learning about the law and how to pass the bar, but once you become an attorney, you quickly realize you don’t know the first thing about succeeding, or much less functioning, as a first-time attorney in the real world. So how do you learn that part? This is where the Classroom 2 Courtroom podcast comes in. Classroom 2 Courtroom explores the inside trenches of the often relentless journey law students take after graduating and becoming skilled practicing attorneys. Between the end of law school and building your legal career lies an unexplored gap of hidden priceless wisdom usually discovered after many long years of painful trial and error. Show host Scott Benton draws on his experience as an administrator of a high-conflict trust and probate litigation law firm located in Southern California to fill that gap with every insider tip imaginable you need to know to succeed at quickly building your legal career. From landing your first job to working with paying clients and winning high-stakes court battles, we celebrate the achievements and all the many twists and turns along the superhighway of an often complex and difficult road to travel. Why make the same painful costly mistakes every new attorney makes when you can learn everything you need to know from the Classroom 2 Courtroom podcast to streamline and empower your own adventurous legal spirit and confidently master the art of practicing law!
