“LENS OF A LAWYER”

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. "Lens of a Lawyer" is a podcast series hosted by David Bell that examines the justice system through the human stories and real-world issues behind the law.  It features conversations with people who have experienced the legal system, activists, and legal professionals. It aims to reveal the complexities of the justice system and the human stories behind legal issues, focusing on empathy and insight. The podcast explores what the justice system says about society and how real-world issues play out beyond headlines. “Lens of a lawyer” can mean a perspective on life and law from a lawyer's viewpoint, which involves applying their analytical skills, understanding of legal principles, and ability to assess risks and benefits to analyze situations and advocate for clients. A lawyer's "lens" involves using strong analytical skills to break down complex information and identify key legal principles at play. This perspective involves evaluating situations to propose viable solutions, negotiate disputes, and help clients make informed decisions. Lawyers view cases through the lens of their client's best interests, advocating for specific legal interpretations and actions that are most favorable to them. A deep understanding of relevant laws and procedures, enables them to explain legal options, risks, and benefits to their clients. A lawyer's perspective is also grounded in integrity and a commitment to justice, ensuring their actions are both ethical and effective. We begin our broadcast of this series with the episode, Lens of a Lawyer - Erik Hulse - Zen and the Art of Keeping Your Cool. Erik Hulse’s journey is anything but ordinary.  He was once a troubled teen and gifted musician; he went on to serve as an undercover cop and eventually became a police captain. But it wasn’t until he discovered Buddhism and mindfulness that he found real peace and purpose. Now a teacher of both, Erik joins David to talk about how crime and legal struggles often stem from a loss of control, and how practices like meditation and self-reflection can help us reclaim it. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.   https://kkfi.org/listen/
