Shaana Rahman on Gender Bias and Mentorship in Law
Manage episode 440325250 series 3461956
I’m excited to share Part I of my conversation with Shaana Rahman.
Shaana is an accomplished trial lawyer in all facets. She is also known for her excellence in public entity liability, to the extent that a major municipality offered her a job in an effort to avoid her laser-like litigation focus, as well as helping cyclists. That cycling help withstood media scrutiny recently when she helped a family navigate the loss of their son, an international track cycling champion, when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver.
Shaana has also devoted herself to mentoring law students and new lawyers, including founding the Trial Advocacy Diversity Fellowship through the San Francisco Trial Lawyers’ Association, and helping improve the diversity pipeline for what remains an overwhelmingly white, male, and hetero plaintiffs’ bar. In between all this, she got a hobby - running an olive farm with award-winning olive oil along with a not-insignificant Tik Tok following.
So please sit back and enjoy this interview with the multitalented and inspirational Shaana Rahman.
