Jon Mazer - The Mind of a Lawyer

Hello and welcome to Upgrade Thought! Today, I will be talking with Jon Mazer. Jon is a lawyer, who has done all different types of cases, from civil to criminal. Jon has a broad litigation background, representing a wide range of business and individuals. In addition, he studied philosophy, both in college and at the graduate level.  In this episode, we discuss what it is like to be responsible for people’s legal situations, how Jon gets his witnesses comfortable talking in front of court, the most serious case that Jon has ever worked on, Jon’s perspective on defending someone who might be guilty, how Ludwig Wittgenstein used philosophy to critique philosophy, how Jon was able to shock a witness with his niche expertise in front of a jury, what the value of being a well-informed citizen is, and much more.  Enjoy the show!
