Small Town Legal Practice: An Inside Look with Paige Harding

2/2/2026
Send us a Text Message with thoughts, guest suggestions, stories and more, HERE! In this episode, we talk with Paige Harding about her path to rural lawyering and why small-town practice matters. Paige shares how growing up on a farm in Dodge City, Kansas shaped her values, how early internships exposed her to legal work outside major cities, and why access to justice remains a critical issue in rural Kansas—where some counties have no attorneys at all. We discuss the variety and impact of small-town practice, from estate planning and business law to litigation and land issues, along with the leadership and community connections that come with practicing locally. Paige also offers insight into her legislative advocacy through the Rural Justice Initiative and practical advice for lawyers considering returning to or starting a practice in a rural community.
