Episodes

Episode One focuses on personal growth at Emory Law. Students share the moments that challenged them, built their confidence, and helped them see their path toward becoming a lawyer.

They were asked: What is one moment during your time at Emory Law when you realized you were growing into the kind of lawyer you want to become? This question brings out the moments when something clicked—when students began to see themselves differently and better understand their path into the legal field.
