As a young lawyer, it's hard to overstate the impact COVID has had on my career trajectory, although it has not been as negative as one might assume. I graduated from Stetson University College of Law at the height of the pandemic, preparing for the bar exam and launching my first job search during a period when in-person networking was verboten. My peers and I were worried about our job prospects, having been forced to retreat to our homes and only interact with others via phone or video-conference calls. The typical meet-and-greets, networking events and social hours that allowed law students to build relationships and meet potential employers disappeared in the blink of an eye.
