WCPT 820 Interview: Alexandra Natapoff
from Chew's Views with Richard Chew (Featured Interviews) Hosted by WCPT 820
Richard Chew is joined by Alexandra Natapoff, Harvard Law School professor and co-editor of "America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance" (2026). Natapoff discussed her return to teaching (Harvard's school year starts this week) and the challenges faced by law students in today's complex legal landscape. She highlighted the significant role of misdemeanors in the U.S. criminal justice system, noting that 80 percent of all criminal cases are misdemeanors. (She previously authored the book "Punishment Without Crime: How Our Massive Misdemeanor System Traps the Innocent and Makes America More Unequal.") Natapoff also discussed the impact of prosecutorial decisions on individuals' lives and the need for more thoughtful and less adversarial approaches to legal disputes.
