For some attorneys, one of the worst parts of their job is speaking in public. That isn’t too surprising — while the data supports death as being a primary fear, public speaking is still in the running. Despite that, some lawyers still find a way to thrive in the public eye. So much in fact, they may make take on a side hustle that involves even more public speaking. From Deadline:

Camille Vasquez, who gained notoriety as one of Johnny Depp’s lawyers in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, has joined NBC News as a legal analyst.

Vasquez made her first appearance in the role on Today on Monday to offer analysis on Bryan Kohberger’s arrest on charges of stabbing four University of Idaho students.

Talk about taking a stab at TV!

Vasquez remains a partner at Brown Rudnick. Here is her NBC News debut:

As stories of her coverage develop, know that you can come to Above the Law to hear more about it. Or you can go to NBC News, then come here. We’d prefer you do the latter.
