Join us as we talk with Shima Bachman, the Woodruff J Dean professor of law at Brigham Young University, about her incredible life story. From growing up in war-torn Iran and enduring the arrest of her activist mother to her miraculous escape to America. Shima discusses how these experiences shaped her passion for criminal justice reform. We delve into her work on bail reform, mass incarceration, and the pivotal role her mother's bravery and convictions played in her life. This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, faith, and the fight for democratic freedoms.00:00 Introduction and Early Life in Iran00:55 Welcoming Shima Bachman01:10 Shima's Professional Accomplishments02:33 Shima's Mother's Political Activism08:02 Miraculous Escape to America13:16 Shima's Career in Criminal Justice Reform16:54 The Influence of Shima's Mother21:23 Spiritual Healing and Forgiveness
