  • The Information Imbalance: How privacy laws are tipping the scales of justice against defendants.
    In this episode, we sit down with Professor Rebecca Wexler to discuss the intersection of privacy laws and the criminal justice system. States around the country are adopting new, stricter privacy laws, in response to a growing awareness of just how much personal and important data companies are keeping about consumers, and how vulnerable that data is. But those privacy laws have flaws that are significantly impacting our criminal justice system, and our ability to provide fair trials.

    This episode is the second of a two part series examining the complexity of addressing homelessness. In Los Angeles, as voters were passing measures to significantly increase the amount of money available to address homelessness and help people find housing, the city continued to enforce ordinances that violated the civil rights of people who did not have a home. In this episode, we speak to Shayla Myers of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles to discuss her work litigating on behalf of the unhoused, as well as the legal and policy issues at play.

  • Episode 5.1: Criminalizing Survival: Homelessness and the Law - Part I

    This episode is the first of a two part series examining the complexity of addressing homelessness. In Los Angeles in particular, as the voters were passing measures for significantly increasing the amount of money available to address homelessness and help people find housing, the city continued to enforce ordinances that violated the civil rights of people who did not have a home. In this episode, we speak to former UCLA Professor Will Watts, who headed up our Veteran's Legal Clinic, to discuss how both actions existed side by side, the perspectives people bring to addressing homelessness, and how to understand the problem holistically. In August 2019, Will Watts left UCLA and now works at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. In the next episode we continue speaking with Professor Watts, as well as hear from Shayla Meyers, who was on the legal team seeking the protection of the civil rights of people who were unhoused.
