The union between technology and law became very popular in the last few years. Although, technology has not been the only disrupter of the legal industry, it was and still is one of the most popular. This innovative "friendship " takes me to my first internship, which involved nothing but sorting through a huge pile of dusty files. Also, one of my clients who seems so resistant to letting go of his physical files and every time I walk into his office, I feel like he may need to rent another floor just for his files. Luckily, he owns the entire building. You may find some humor in my stories, because I do too, however, this is the truth and...
One of my favorite professors at "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University in Iași once told us during a lecture that - even though we were born around the 1990s - we still carried the imprint of a communist mindset. If you were born in Eastern Europe or know someone who was, you’ve likely heard countless stories: about life before and after independence, and the shifting realities of the present. I'm not here to argue whether that statement was right or wrong. But one thing I remember clearly is that communism was, in many ways, synonymous with commitment. My mother often reminisces about how life used to follow a predictable and secure path. For women, the future was simple: get married or...
A friend recently shared an article with me about the concept of “toxic positivity” - the idea that positivity, when taken to an extreme or misapplied, can become harmful or invalidating. As someone deeply fascinated by how the human mind works, I found it refreshing to explore a perspective that challenges mainstream self-help narratives. After all, who among us hasn’t, at some point, reached for that book - the one that promises to fix us, help us lose weight, become a better leader, or finally feel whole? One of the most impactful books I encountered during my time in startup management was Leading with Questions. The core premise is simple yet profound: asking the right question is half the answer. So,...
Some of you may wonder how do I come up with the topics I write about? I am pleased to share with you, my reader, that each and every word laid down on paper passed through me and I really hope that I can share pieces of my life experiences with you. If you are dreaming about going to Law School then I hope some of my own insight will be of help to you, and if you've been out of Law School for a while, then you will enjoy remembering some of your own experiences. Aside from Medical School, Law School has always had a reputation of its own. First it sounded cool, then it looked very good on...
We all know how challenging law can be. Each and every one of us has been affected by its dealings in one way or another. It is easy to minimize or ignore the role in plays in our day - to - day lives, however, when the time comes we all want to know what is the next right thing to do. Navigating the legal system sometimes can be daunting even for a legal professional. Every state, county and Judge has its own rules and the narrower your issue is, the more attention and customization it requires. The AI and specifically automation of some of the legal services gives us the impression that lawyers are becoming immaterial and the "do...
