Trial, Motherhood & Making an Impact with Kate Larrado & Rebecca Cooper
Cristina Perez sits down with her AIEG besties and fellow trial attorneys, Kate Llaurado and Rebekah Cooper, for a conversation about the experiences that have shaped them both inside and outside the courtroom.
They talk about their paths into law, the mentors and relationships that helped shape their careers, gaining confidence as trial lawyers, taking cases to trial, and why getting outside your comfort zone can make all the difference.
The conversation also gets personal as they open up about motherhood, balancing demanding careers with family, being present, and what they hope their children learn from seeing them pursue work they genuinely love.
From courtroom lessons to life outside of the law, it’s an honest conversation about growth, purpose, and doing work that matters.

Dr. Emma Banks: Defying Expectations
What happens when you refuse to let your past define what you’re capable of?
Cristina Perez sits down with Dr. Emma Banks for a powerful conversation about her journey from the modeling world and Miami nightlife to earning her Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
Emma opens up about being underestimated, navigating imposter syndrome, raising two children while pursuing her education, and staying committed to a goal that took years to achieve. She shares how setting goals, surrounding herself with people who pushed her forward, and turning doubt into motivation helped her create a completely different path for herself and her family.
Cristina and Emma also talk about motherhood, breaking generational cycles, mentorship, embracing every chapter of your story, and what it means to create opportunities for the generations that come after you.
This is a conversation about ambition, reinvention, and refusing to let where you started determine where you end up.
Because sometimes proving people wrong starts with believing there’s more for you.

Inside the Jury Box: Robert Swafford on Bias, Strategy & Jury Selection
Nationally known jury consultant Robert Swafford joins Cristina Perez for an inside look at what really happens during jury selection and why the process may be more about deselection than selection.
Drawing from decades of experience and thousands of cases, Robert breaks down his Strike for Cause methodology, the biases jurors may bring into the courtroom long before hearing a case, and why attorneys should focus less on persuading potential jurors and more on asking the right questions and truly listening to their answers.
Robert also shares practical advice for attorneys looking to strengthen their jury-selection skills and reflects on his work with the Sandy Hook families in their case against Alex Jones, including what he found most meaningful about preparing clients to tell their stories.
