43. Talia L. - Social Media: Representation and Transparency
Description
Thanks to social media, the perception of who can be a lawyer is changing. Talia has created a TikTok to do just that. As an Armenian, she sees few female attorneys and even fewer judges who have the same lived experience as her. Today she shares her path and what drove her to become one of only two people to ever win the Pepperdine hat trick - winning all three moot court competitions - and how she uses social media to paint a more nuanced picture of what lawyering looks like.
