Welcome back!
⭐ Before we dive in, could I ask for a quick favor? ⭐
It would mean so much to me if you could take 30 seconds and leave a review of How I Lawyer on Apple Podcasts (regardless of where you listen to the show). These reviews help the algorithm connect me to the right potential listeners. Leave a review here.
In today’s episode I speak with Joshua Scharff who is the General Counsel & Director, Programs at Brady, the Campaign to End Gun Violence.
Before joining Brady more than 5.5 years ago, Joshua served as an associate at Peer, Gan, & Gisler LLP, a Washington, D.C.-based law firm with a nationwide litigation practice and a special focus on effective resolution of labor and employment disputes. Joshua is a graduate of Rutgers (Go Scarlett Knights), the George Washington University Law School (Go Colonials), and holds a Masters in International Studies from John Hopkins School of Advanced Internal Studies (Go Blue Jays).
In our conversation we discuss Josh's path to the law, what he learned getting a master's degree alongside his JD, his time as an employment lawyer (and what he learned from that process), his shift to policy and program work at Brady, and his most recent role as General Counsel. I think it was a fantastic conversation and I am sure you'll enjoy it as well.
