Women in Law Spotlight
Welcome to the Women in Law Spotlight, a space dedicated to highlighting the experiences, advice, and achievements of women in the legal profession.
Through interviews with current law students, attorneys, and legal professionals, I hope to provide insight into their journeys, share valuable resources, and offer encouragement to aspiring women in law. My goal is to showcase diverse perspectives and remind readers that there is no single path to success in the legal field.
A Conversation with Harman Gakhal
For this interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with Harman Gakhal, a recent graduate of UC Davis Law who is currently preparing for the California Bar Exam before beginning her career at Gordon Rees, a full-service law firm in Sacramento. Throughout our conversation, Harman shared honest insights about being a first-generation woman of color in law, overcoming imposter syndrome, networking, mentorship, and the importance of giving back to your community.
Her story reflects resilience, ambition, and the belief that success means bringing others up with you.
