Election Day Podcast on the Legal Profession and Democracy

It was my great honor to sit with Mitch Winnick and Jackie Gardina for their Sidebar Podcast. Here’s a bit of a preview. Perfect listening for Election Day!

Since colonial days, the legal profession has been proud of its role in the founding of the republic, the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, and the defense of democracy and the rule of law. However, the profession faces an existential crisis on which the American democratic experiment hinges, says law professor Ray Brescia, author of Lawyer Nation: The Past, Present, and Future of the American Legal Profession. If attorney unethical behavior surrounding the 2020 election repeats without disciplinary repercussions in 2024 . . . democracy itself is at risk.

Give it a listen here if you’re so inclined.
