We’re proud to announce the launch of Sidebar Sessions by CD Law, our new podcast bringing you candid conversations on law and life. After months of planning, what started as an idea over a glass of wine is now a full podcast available for streaming on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify!
What is Sidebar Sessions?
Sidebar Sessions is simple. Two lawyers and guests breaking down law and life over a glass of wine.
Each episode, CD Law partners Miguel Custodio and Vineet Dubey will pop open a new bottle of wine and dive into candid conversations with legal professionals of all kinds including lawyers, judges, partners, associates and others who navigate the justice system. Its part insight, part storytelling, and all served with a splash of humor and humanity (and mediocre wine expertise!)
Episode 1
Our Debut episode features none other than Robert W. Rust, a Florida personal injury attorney and former felony state prosecutor. Robert has tried 25+ cases to verdict, then transitioned to PI practice and founded Rust Injury Law. Educated at Rollins College and the University of Miami, he comes from a legacy of law as his grandfather served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
Our debut bottle is a 2017 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Something rich and approachable, just like the conversations Miguel and Vineet aim to have with each guest. Miguel’s expert tasting note? “I note some flavors of alcohol here!”
Some highlights from episode 1 include:
The power of networking: What impact networking with the right people can have on your career.
Law school beginnings: Miguel and Vineet share the story of how they met in criminal procedure class, when Vineet couldn’t resist commenting on (laughing at) Miguel’s lavender shirt. The rest is history!
Going solo: What it really takes to successfully launch your own law firm.
The impact of a global perspective: Robert reflects on his time studying abroad in Shanghai and shares his mandarin skills!
Never taking your health for granted: Robert opens up about a health procedure that changed his perspective on his career and life.
Why Listen?
Whether you’re in the legal profession, considering law school, or just curious about how the justice system really works, Sidebar Sessions offers a fresh, human and approachable take on law and life. You’ll also get to know CD Law on a whole new level!
So grab a glass, hit play, and join Miguel and Vineet for their first session with Robert Rust. Cheers to stories, insights, and maybe learning something new about law… and wine!
