Juneteenth and the Rule of Law

In recognition of Juneteenth, Craig Peters sits down with Joe Tucker for a conversation about freedom, equality, and the unfinished work of justice.  As the first Black President in the history of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Joe reflects on his service and shares why Juneteenth remains a powerful reminder that rights on paper mean little without enforcement, vigilance, and civic engagement. Together, they discuss the Academy's commitment to the Rule of Law and the responsibility lawyers have to question authority and safeguard justice for all.
