Listen and Get to Know Martha

Listen to this great podcast on Majic 106.7 Exceptional Women. Host Candy O’Terry interviews Martha Coakley.

She talks about her role models growing up, majoring in “the history of ideas” in college, trying her first cases, being a prosecutor, what role passion plays in her work, how she deals with obstacles in her path, and more.

Listen to what she says when Candy asks her what female lawyers bring to the table different than men in the courtroom. Here’s an excerpt:

…why we look to have women and diverse voices at the table, when electing officials, when we have judges, because sometimes you don’t see everything when it isn’t in your experience, law is about logic but it is also about people’s experiences.

Here is another good one:

Candy: At the end of the day Martha, what matters most to you?

Martha: Doing a good job and doing it with integrity.

Only 26 minutes and well worth it. Very, very interesting stuff!

Ya’ gotta have a listen!
