In this episode of the Jabot podcast, Yvonne Cort, partner at Capell, Barnett, Matalon & Schoenfeld, talks about how her law school career goals matched up with her actual career. Yvonne discusses how she settled on her practice area. She also speaks about the benefits of small firms, and what it’s like when there aren’t a lot of women at the firm. Yvonne also shares her advice for folks just starting their legal career.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
