It’s probably not shocking to anyone that the Fastcase team loves a show about the philosophical questions surrounding emergent robots, scored with ragtime covers of grunge classics. Harvard Law School alumna Lisa Joy is one of the Co-Creators of HBO’s Westworld, and we like to think that her legal training has something to do with its brilliance. Not many have the drive to write scripts while simultaneously studying for the bar exam. About her obsessive dedication to her craft Lisa once told Esquire, “I’ve tried to always be incredibly over prepared in everything that I’ve done. I think part of it comes from being a woman: It’s hard to get that first chance, and if you mess up, you just don’t get a second chance, right? So you always want to exceed expectations out of the gate.”
