In today’s episode, Jim and Tyson chat with one of the founders of Law Student Connect, Jordan Gardner! They dive into the journey of how this platform came to be and what it’s all about. If you’re interested in learning more about connecting law firms with law students or anything in between, check out this week’s episode.

The first time Jordan sat across the table from his senior partner and watched him strike his time entries from a client's bill was a defining moment in his life. Because of the compensation structure, every stroke of his pen was money Jordan wouldn't be receiving, and time he could never get back. When he left his office, he started dreaming of a better way to hedge the risk of wasting time on tasks that clients wouldn't pay full price for.

That's how Law Student Connect was born. In 2019, Jordan left his job and jumped fully into creating a platform specifically for attorneys to outsource legal research, drafting, doc review, and other basic tasks to law students who were anxious to test themselves on real-world projects.

Jim’s Hack: Whether you join the Guild or not, owning a law firm can be isolating, so make sure you have a place to go where you can find the support you need to let go of your stress.

Jordan’s Tip: Check out the productivity app called, Text Expander. For a small monthly fee, you can type in 6 keystrokes and generate a predefined paragraph, which saves you time.

Tyson’s Tip: The DJI Mimo camera is a handheld camera that has delivered amazing results. You can control the camera remotely from your phone. They also have an app that you don’t need the camera for called, LightCut. You can take a group of videos or photos, click a button, and it will put together a promo video.
