But we are focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let's be real -- it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It's a reminder that --even when we aren't winning, we're still a powerful force to be reckoned with.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-27T16:20:18.436577+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-jabot-1141212"},"episode":{"title":"An Inside Look At The Law Firm's Law Firm","slug":"an-inside-look-at-the-law-firm-s-law-firm","published_at":"2025-12-22T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-jabot-1141212/an-inside-look-at-the-law-firm-s-law-firm","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-jabot-1141212","url":"https://atlthejabot.libsyn.com/an-inside-look-at-the-law-firms-law-firm","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/atlthejabot/JAB215_mixdown.mp3?dest-id=655403","summary":"Summary In this episode of the Jabot podcast, host Kathryn Rubino chats with Sandra Cohen, co-managing partner at Cohen & Buckmann.
