Host Anastasia Boyko welcomes University of Virginia School of Law professor Christopher Corts to discuss navigating law school by focusing on the human purpose of legal practice. Corts shares his path from growing up a minister’s son to an 18-year career in theater, seminary, appellate practice, and teaching legal research and writing, jurisprudence, and well-being courses like The Happy Lawyer and Just Practice. They explore meaning and purpose, psychological safety, emotional granularity, and the need to build community to counter isolation, competition, and a constant means-to-an-end mindset. They also examine AI and technology’s emphasis on speed, efficiency, and accuracy, arguing students must stay embodied, relational, and prepared to “fit in to get in” while leading change.

How to Navigate Law School, hosted by Anastasia Boyko, is PLI’s podcast dedicated to guiding you through the hidden rules and practical skills essential for success in law school. For additional resources, visit PLI’s Law School Hub at www.pli.edu/law-school
