The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 243 features Andrea Díaz, a dedicated Los Angeles Public Defender and the creative force behind Afternoon-Recess.com.

Andrea shares her inspiring journey balancing her passion for justice with her creativity, leading her to design JURY TRIAL ABC — a beautifully illustrated children's book that introduces young readers to the basic concepts of jury trials in a fun and engaging way.

JURY TRIAL ABC is more than just a book — it's a bridge between the courtroom and the playroom. Written and illustrated by Andrea, it makes the perfect gift for lawyers with young children or a little one on the way. Very young readers will delight in the bright colors and rhymes, older children will learn key legal concepts, and adults will love teaching their kids about their work through imaginative, meaningful illustrations.

Andrea's story is a reminder that creativity and law can coexist — and that sharing our passions can inspire the next generation to understand the justice system in an accessible, joyful way.
