Signs of Malignant Narcissism In The Legal Profession

Today, I want to talk about a hot topic on the Former Lawyer Podcast: narcissism. The reason that we really need to talk about it is that, as bad as it sounds, there’s a lot of narcissism in the legal profession. This is not going to be a comprehensive exploration of narcissism. But we’re going to talk about a few different types of narcissism that are rampant in the legal system. Not only are these traits often normalized, but they’re sometimes even rewarded.
