Law Student Connect w/ Jordan Gardner

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.4:50 at the tail end8:34 people-oriented person12:13 hire entry-level law students18:36 law students are hungry for this23:40 work is not as routine or predictableJim’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.
