Legal Grounds | Emily Stedman on Navigating the Billable-Hour, Developing the Next Generation, and Self-Worth Outside of the Law

  • サマリー

  • For as ever present as it is, the Billable-Hour is still one of those topics on the Defense side of the Bar that is deemed somewhat taboo.

    Some of this, I believe, comes from a natural - though not at all helpful - competitive mentality. After all, the number of hours we bill is frequently worn as a ‘Badge of Honor’, and so why would we want to “share our secrets”?

    But as my conversation today hopefully highlights, there is often a deeper set of reasons many Attorneys, myself included, come to loathe the billable-hour; the most treacherous of which is tying our INNER worth to our OUTER performance.

    This week I’m joined by Emily Logan Stedman, commercial-litigation Partner at Husch Blackwell.

    Most recently she is the creator and host of The Grace Period Podcast which aims to have honest conversations about striking a better balance, developing coping strategies, and destigmatizing mental health for stakeholders across the Legal Profession.

    Emily writes frequently and openly about her struggles and strategies when it comes to all-consuming billable-hour.

    Our conversation this week aims to leave listeners with new tools to tackle the worst part of being a Defense attorney, while also reminding them that they’re not alone.

    Enjoy the show.
