Instead of one 5-month competition, the year is broken up into three 3-month "seasons." Champions of Season 1, Attorney Steve McLinden and Paralegal Avery Dover, join host Christian Sison to recap their experiences and provide advice on how to do well in Season 2. What is “Third Fridays”? "Third Fridays" podcast is a live, 30-minute legal talk show from Lois Law Firm featuring moderator Christian Sison . It is the original forum in which real attorneys discuss workers' compensation issues, share their opinions and engage in colorful conversations. The goal of the show is to showcase the diverse perspectives of the attorneys handling workers' compensation cases. Attorneys discuss case law trends, practical litigation strategies, and hot topics. Special Guests: Avery Dover and Steve McLinden.
