A project comes to an end

This episode marks the finale of the New Lawyer Podcast and the New Lawyer Project (!!!) You can find the episode wherever you get your podcasts (or by clicking here). In the episode I explain what will happen to the existing episodes in the future, and I reflect on the project, and on the state of the legal industry now and into the future. I also let you know what I have been up to and where you can find the work I am making now. (The work I am making now is much less about law, but there is a through-line of themes and approaches that is likely to connect with anyone who connected with this work.)

Thank you, Listeners

Thank you so much for joining me along the way. This project would not have worked if it was just me alone, so thank you for listening and sharing (especially sharing – let me tell you how fun it is to have a podcast without a social media presence!). 

The project continues…?

The New Lawyer Project’s website will be gone from August 2023, although its urls will direct to pages at the new website. The podcast itself will remain available for at least 1-2 years more.

Please do still share the podcast with anyone you think would find it useful, and of course you can purchase the book The New Lawyer Companion: Essays on law, life and humanity from LexisNexis anytime, with free shipping in New Zealand. Do urge your law firms to buy it for all incoming juniors, or for its summer clerks, or for everyone. I get basically no money from it so you know my motivation is just to get the resource that’s needed into the hands of the people with the need.

Come and join me in my symphonic substack

From August 2023 you can find me and my work at symphonia.co.nz, and my fortnightly substack newsletter on complexity, human culture/climate culture and feelings (but in a fun way) at katiecowan.substack.com. For everyone’s ease, subscribers to this website will be automatically transferred to the substack but you can opt out immediately if the new work is not for you.

Later in the year you will be able to access my show, Dark Songs with Katie (a playful narrative show about complex trauma that also includes songs and cake), and my essay/song project The Waiting Room, about experiences of existential limbo.

Until next time

Do stay in touch. Till next time listeners xx
