In recent news, prominent lawyer, writer, and founding partner of BKW Family Law, Margaret Klaw, shared her insights on working as a family law attorney on an episode of The Jabot podcast.
Klaw, who has been named a Preeminent Woman Lawyer by Martindale-Hubbell, owns a stellar recognition by Best Lawyers in America, and carries an esteemed designation of a Pennsylvania “Super Lawyer” in the area of family law. Her expertise was initially reflected through a series of day-in-the-life vignettes about practicing family law that she published on her blog and subsequently on HuffPost. Later, her work was featured in high-profile news platforms like The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Time, and Salon.
Adding to her diverse portfolio, Margaret Klaw is also an author. Her book titled “Keeping it Civil: The Case of the Pre-Nup and the Porsche & Other True Accounts from the Files of a Family Lawyer“, provides intriguing accounts from her personal career. Recently, she ventured into the world of fiction with her first novel, “Every Other Weekend“.
For those unfamiliar, The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand. The show focuses primarily on the hurdles faced by women, people of color, the LGBTQIA community, and other diversified populations in the legal industry. Its name is inspired by the legendary U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the decorative collar – jabot, that she famously wore during delivery of her bench dissents. The detail serves as a reminder that despite odds, these communities remain strong forces in the legal arena.
All in all, the podcast offers an exciting blend of insights into the workings of the legal field, coupled with empowering messages for people from diversified backgrounds. Happy listening!
