Fun and laughter with Kristine Kuzemka as we discuss her amazing adventures riding motorcycles, skiing, hiking, and practicing mindfulness while being an effective judicial leader serving her colleagues and the community at large. We learn about the mental health services offered to members of the State Bar of Nevada and Boyd Law students through Lawyers Concerned For Lawyers, and what it's like to mediate at the highest court in the state.

Shar shares the honor of learning about decompression techniques from Justice Michael L. Douglas (ret.), a legal giant with several firsts to his credit: the first African-American appointed to the Supreme Court of Nevada, the first African-American elected to the Supreme Court of Nevada, the first African-American to serve a term as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nevada, and the first guest on Shar's Rebel Recess! Justice Douglas regales listeners with his hard won road to legendary status in the Silver State while offering words of wisdom for anyone who can embrace the tenets of being intentional and purposeful about how they show up for themselves, those closest to them, and the world at large. He reminds us that life is filled with moments that require adaptability, resourcefulness, determination, and Battleborn grit!

An introduction to Shar, and her Rebel Recess. In this episode, listeners will learn the definition of "Rebel Recess" while becoming acquainted with its host, Shar. A nontraditional student at UNLV, Shar is in her senior year and has plans on enrolling in law school shortly thereafter. Recognizing that life can sometimes be chaotic when attempting to accomplish our goals, something can be said for finding the space to slow things down a bit. Welcome to, Shar's Rebel Recess!

Coming Next Week: An conversation with retired Justice Michael L. Douglas about what he does during his recess.
