The Justice Podcast

Aliza Shatzman, President and Founder of The Legal Accountability Project, shares her thoughts on how the U.S. judicial clerkship process should change. For Aliza, this issue is personal (you can read her U.S. Congressional testimony on gender discrimination and harassment here), but our conversation takes a broader systems-based perspective. We discuss the power dynamics existing between judges and their clerks and how one might address misconduct within such an environment—possibly through both non-profit and legislative responses. All of these topics and more are included in this episode of The Justice Podcast.
