Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! It's a good idea to start thinking about business development methods from the early days of law school, if you want to work in a law firm! Today we're chatting about this topic with our career expert, ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones.

In this episode we discuss:

How business development is relevant to law students and young associates
When firms think about business development potential, what are they really looking for?
What can law students do in school to start building networking skills, or hone the traits they already have?
Being successful at networking as an introvert
What if you're thinking of having a solo practice, but hate the idea of business development?
Law school activities that might be good for business development later on
