Conversations You Should Know About

When you think of a lawyer or judge, what image comes to mind? Is it a man in a long dark robe, sitting on large dais, with a gavel in hand?Does the iconic 90’s show law and order come to mind? You’d be surprised how many people base their idea of a good lawyer or judge off of that show. Now what if I asked you to guess how many lawyers and judges in the U.S. are women?

Not so easy is it. Well according to the New York Times, over 50 percent of law school grads are women, but only 30 percent of them end up practicing law.

The U-S has struggled with the disparity between men and women in the workforce for hundreds of years, especially in the judiciary.

From Sandra Day O’Connor to the iconic Ruth Bader Ginsburg a.k.a the notorious R.B.G., Americans have been fascinated with strong female leaders, especially in our federal judiciary. So, to better understand the topic of women in the judiciary, we are going to take a trip down memory lane, and talk about the pivotal moments in history for women in our courts system. And then we will talk to Maria Vathis, who is the President of the Federal Bar Association, and a history-making woman in her own right.

The United States is gradually becoming the land of the red, white, and… green. No… really! Since 2016 over 10 states have legalized the sale and recreational usage of marijuana, and 33 states have some sort of medical marijuana statue on the books. Despite many states going green by legalizing recreational usage of pot, there is still one component to this narrative that hasn’t garnered lot of coverage over the past couple years: medical marijuana in the workplace.

Can an employer fire you if are consuming marijuana as a part of a medicinal regimen? Can you be denied a prospective job due to a pre-employment drug test where it came back positive for THC, despite you being a part of a state medicinal registry? There is no simple answer to this complex issue; medical pot has left us in a legal limbo. So, in order to get to the bottom of this, I sat down with attorney Dustin Massie. Dustin is an advocate for employees who have experienced wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, harassment and other illegal treatment in the workplace.

In all my years of working as a journalist, he is probably the most impressive attorney I have had the honor of interviewing. His charisma and magnetism matched with his intelligence and ability to answer tough questions in an articulate manner, immediately made me realize I was speaking with someone of importance; someone whom I could see sitting on a federal bench as a judge, or becoming a leader in the legal the community.

So, for all those people who have unanswered questions about what protections they have (or don’t have)listen to this episode, and my interview with an impressive attorney, as we sort out some of the legal limbo that medical marijuana has left us in.

Here is a conversation you should know about, with attorney Dustin Massie.
