UNSTUCK Podcast | The Limits of Law & the Power of Service with James Liggins Jr. | Episode 006

What if everything you think you know about the law… isn’t actually how it works?In this episode of Unstuck, Tim Terrentine sits down with attorney and community leader James Liggins Jr. for a powerful conversation about the gap between law and justice, the limits of our legal system, and the responsibility we carry as individuals within it.James breaks down what “guilty” and “not guilty” really mean—and why the legal system isn’t designed to determine truth, but responsibility. From civic education to systemic inequities, from courtroom realities to community service, this conversation challenges assumptions and reframes how we think about power, fairness, and leadership.You’ll hear:Why the legal system is built on “reasonable doubt,” not absolute truth How laws change—and what that means for fairness across time The impact of economics and access on legal outcomes Why civic education may be the missing link in public discourse How service and community engagement shape real leadership This isn’t just about law.It’s about how we show up—in systems, in community, and for each other.Subscribe for more conversations that move you forward.About the Guest:James Liggins Jr. is a Senior Counsel at Warner Norcross + Judd LLP, focusing on real estate litigation, business disputes, and community-centered legal advocacy.
