In addition to being the Dean of the Colleges of Law in Ventura and Santa Barbara (collegesoflaw.edu) I am the co-host of SideBar, a new podcast on Legal Talk Network. (sidebarmedia.org)
udge Linda Hidalgo announced that she will be taking a leave of absence from work to obtain treatment for depression. As someone how has experienced depression, I know how difficult it is to discuss it openly when you are in the midst of an depressive episode. Yet, she did. I hope her statement will encourage others to seek help. #law #lawfedi #lawyer #wellness #wellbeing #depression #lawprofs
Watching Network again. Season 1, Episode 5 has a dialogue about the #SCOTUS decision Citizen United and how Justice Thomas’ wife Ginni received over $600K from a Koch funded organization and Thomas failed to report and failed to recuse himself. Sound familiar? #law #lawfedi #lawyers #ethics #USpol #politics
I would like one journalist to ask a politician asserting that DJT action’s are protected by the First Amendment to explain why doctors can be jailed for advising a woman about reproductive healthcare options. #media #journalist #law #lawfedi #indictment
Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal organization, co-opts MLK quotes and other progressive anti-racist statements to promote its work. Yet, they are responsible for 303 Creative and undermining public accommodations laws. They are responsible for promoting abortion bans, transgender healthcare bans, & marriage as between one man & one woman. So whose freedoms are they protecting exactly? #democracy #law #lawfedi #USpolitics
