Shira Scheindlin may have left the bench, but she hasn’t stopped moving.

Despite retiring from her federal district judgeship in Manhattan in 2016, Scheindlin, now of counsel at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, still brims with energy. She keeps long hours in her practice as an arbitrator, mediator, special master and expert, and walks across the Brooklyn Bridge every morning to work, listening to audiobooks on the way. She also speaks regularly about judicial independence and diversity in the legal field, and still works on the weekends—now without hard-charging clerks to help.
