So helpful! This deserves more views!

Annie you are angel..I am lawyer with 33 yrs of practice…and I just don’t want to do my work..miss deadlines…very small unchallenging jobs..If you wish to hear me on details please reply ..I cannot reveal my details in post…

Wow I am suffering from AdHd…

I just started law school and I genuinely got discouraged because I can't focus in class due to my undiagnosed adhd (financial reasons). After seeing your video, you gave me a reassurance that people that has this disorder can make it in the legal field. Thank you 💖

What a Godsend as I've been preparing for the LSAT exam. There are parts of the exam that are lightening speed and reflexive in processing, a correct answer like Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning. And yet, I'm struggling to stay attenuated to Reading Comprehension (where passages are denser) and the structure of arguments where the main point might be buried in a more complex order of premises, sub conclusion, another premise, and a conclusion.

Such good work!

You are not a "former" lawyer. Maybe a non practing lawyer.

If I wanted to submit a proposal to a hospitality organization that processes 3 million patrons per year regarding everything they need to do improve (it's EXTREMELY bad)... how would I do this and could a lawyer assist me to gain favor of being heard and my suggestions being implemented as a well paid consultant position? How do i approach this? I really need my break. I know these things are extremely important and would revolutionize their performance.

I’m 13 years old and I dream to become a lawyer!This Visio REALLY helped like I don’t know how to explain what exactly but it’s was awesome

I am a lawyer with ADHD And these KZbin videos are very useful!

You are not a "former" lawyer so long as you are in Good standing with your State bar. Don't trivialize yourself.😊

So glad I found this channel. I want to quit my career as a lawyer and go back to school (due to burnout). What do you suggest I study? Broker or business marketing?

Hi Annie. I am also an in-house counsel working in a German MNC in India. You videos are really helpful. Regards from India. Have also subscribed your channel

Do you have recommendations (or a video) for those getting started / in the beginning of their law journey with ADHD? It's great that there are opportunities to have assistants help keep us on course (that is very encouraging), but how can someone with ADHD be a good lawyer / law student during the entry level or "proving ourselves" years?

As a student with ADHD who wants to go to law school but was worried about if I'd be ok, this made me feel so seen!! Thank you for talking about your experiences

Hello mrs. I am looking for advice on how to get a felony pardon. Jonathan Trejo 16111 fairgrove ave. La puente, ca. 91746

As a lawyer with ADHD who has been practicing since 1983, my favorite types of practice are: criminal defense, appellate practice and teaching. I love to go to court. Criminal defense is urgent, novel, creative, and an adrenaline rush. The same applies to research, writing, and arguing novel legal concepts in the courts of appeal. Teaching law has all these attributes as well, which is why I have been a happy professor for most of my working life. However, just the thought of mergers and acquisitions or tax law makes my head spin and my eyes glaze over. I thought I was just lazy or not properly motivated. I never knew I had ADHD until last year. Until then, I was constantly frustrated by my inability to concentrate on "important" areas of the law that bored me to tears, even though I could intellectually understand why one should study them in depth (and maybe make a lot more money). I had worked in several large law firms while a law student, and just the thought of making a career at a big firm was my worst nightmare.

I tell my iphone to "remind me to do X." That is the only thing that really seems to work for me.

Why delete comments?

Therapy, yoga and meditation has been wonders.

Three rounds of interviews sounds like a lot, but it makes sense. Good information

"it depends" -- too funny -- but so true. I like how you break things down for those of us with ADHD.

I HAVE to use a physical planner, because online planners are gone from my mind as soon as I close them. And I have recently started using seasonal or themed stickers to make my planner more fun to open and look at.

I wish i could be good at something and not give up when i get bored.

This was so helpful. I have just started Law School as a mature student who also had ADHD. I have been asking myself a lot lately if I can do Law School because of the ADHD. I am an aspiring Lawer. Thank you for sharing.

Do you have any tips for how to phrase requests for accommodations? You had some great suggestions here

I love litigation but I struggle with courtroom anxiety :( I end up in court just wanting to postpone so the anxiety goes away. I cant see myself doing anything else though.

Great video. Thank you

I cut my hours at work in half

I really appreciate what you share! For long time female ADHD has not studied. So, many girls could not get the proper help. And it is really important to talk about the symptoms which is not typically considered as “the ADHD”. I’m Korean and I feel the situation in Korea lags even far behind 😕

What did you learn about finding the best job for yourself?

I would say for sure you can make a good lawyer with or without ADHD, but, of course, we need to learn how to work with it. Love how you break this down for us.

Thank you for debunking these misconceptions. This is really important to talk about.

Do you think you could be successful as a lawyer with ADHD or would you be willing to support ADHD lawyers so they can be successful?

These are smart insights .. thank you

Are there any misconceptions I missed that should also be debunked? Comment below to let me know!

A values exercise makes good sense. I may have to do that as well.

Hi! How do you handle lawschool while having adhd?

Wow. I left the law and became an academic. It was the best thing I ever did! What you are saying describes me to a "T", though I have never been diagnosed formally as ADHD. It's pretty clear to me (as well as all my friends and family) that I'm a classic case.

The profile photo (and being professional) is important for sure. Not a profile photo of kids or pets or anything, just a professional headshot of you. This video was helpful to beef up my own profile, thanks!

I was told by several people in my life i should have gone to law school. one time in my life i found myself in court defending myself. I was called for my case, and the prosecution opened by say they would like to set a new date because they don't have their case prepared. now i don't know the law, but when asked do i have anything to say, i blurted out They had 16 weeks to prepare a case, i think that's plenty of time, i would like a dismissal. Now i don't know how i did it, it was a pure reaction with no thought put into it. The judge said something along the line of the prosecution did in fact have plenty of time and granted my dismissal. it was first case of the day and i still remember all eyes on me in the audience, the look on their face of astonishment when i walked out. it was a great feeling. i was innocent anyway, but still felt rewarding. i was diagnosed at 6 years of age.

Sick note

LinkedIn is a great place for Lawyers. Knowing what to look for in creating a banner was really helpful. Thank you!

This was super spot on, it took me about 3 months for the entire interview process at my current non-profit for the GC role.

Agree with Annie 110%!

What are your thoughts about LinkedIn's About section?
