In this episode, we feature a panel of three experts on the North Carolina Judicial Branch: former Supreme Court of North Carolina Associate Justice and North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts Director Franklin Freeman, former Wake County Chief District Court Judge Ned Mangum, and former Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby. The panel discussed the history of the court system, the different levels of our courts, and expressed sincere appreciation for their time serving people through their court positions. The panel was recorded before a live audience in March 2024."One of the things that made me want to be a part of our court system is that it's the last place left where we can get Republicans and Democrats working quietly together trying to solve people's problems," said Mangum on the podcast. "You have elected public servants who care about what they do and you never hear their names, which is the way it ought to be."Franklin Freeman was a senior assistant to Governor Mike Easley. Prior to that position, he served as an associate justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court and as chief of staff to Governor Jim Hunt. In addition, Freeman served as director of the North Carolina Administrative Office of Courts and as secretary of the North Carolina Department of Corrections. Ned W. Mangum served as a Wake County district court judge for over 16 years, including over two years as Wake County chief district court judge. Before that, he served as Wake County district attorney and as an assistant district attorney. Colon Willoughby's 27-year career as Wake County's district attorney ranks him as one of North Carolina's longest-serving district attorneys. In addition, Willoughby served as president of the Wake County Academy of Trial Lawyers, director of the Wake County Bar Association, president of the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, and a member of the National District Attorney's Association board of directors.

Dean Colón-Emeric acknowledges the struggles and fragmentation of Christianity in the American context, but for him, the end is not a thing to worry about. The end is just the beginning, because the end, in the Christian context, means reconciliation. We may not see the way to reconciliation, but we don't have to.

We welcome Dr. Edgardo Colón-Emeric to The Weight for a discussion of Maundy Thursday (the day Christians commemorate Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples before his arrest, crucifixion, death, and resurrection) through the lens of the ministry of Fr. Oscar Romero, the Archbishop of El Salvador who was assassinated in 1980. Edgardo was drawn to the way Archbishop Romero read the gospel through the context of where and when he lived, especially how Romero dedicated himself in his short time as Archbishop to the lives of the people he served, who mostly lived in overwhelming poverty.Edgardo is dean of Duke Divinity School, the Irene and William McCutchen Professor of Reconciliation and Theology, and director of the Center for Reconciliation. He earned his Masters of Divinity from Duke University in 1997 and his Ph.D. from Duke University in 2007.

Norm is back! Well, at least for the moment. And he is joined as he is at the top of every week by W. Michael Boyer, producer for Law and Legitimacy and North Carolina-based attorney. Mike begged Norm to give North Carolina a bit of the limelight this week, and Norm graciously acquiesced. On top of Mike's mind is the recent North Carolina Supreme Court decision in North Carolina Conference of the NAACP v. Moore. In 2017, the Supreme Court of the United States held that 28 North Carolina districts had been previously gerrymandered in an unconstitutionally gerrymandered. In November 2018, more than 2 million North Carolinians voted to approve two (2) proposed constitutional amendments: (i) a photo I.D. requirement; and (ii) a cap on state income tax. These two amendments were among a total of six proposed state constitutional amendments. Each of those proposed amendments had been previously approved by a supermajority (60%) of the North Carolina legislature. Because of that 2017 SCOTUS decision, the NAACP argued to the North Carolina Supreme Court that because 28 North Carolina political districts had been deemed unconstitutionally gerrymandered that the majority vote by North Carolina citizens to approve both amendments should be reversed. The Court did not disagree, and remanded the case back to the trial court for specific findings of fact related to the role of legislators from the unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts. Regardless of the outcome, however, the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision in this case is ad hoc at best. The NAACP's case has a flagrant flaw—one acknowledged by the North Carolina Supreme Court—and that flaw is that it has no conceptual answer to the question of why the Court is not looking at ALL acts taken by the legislators from the 28 tainted districts? For Norm, it seems like yet another example of a gathering racial storm on the American horizon. For Mike, he struggles with the principled direction of the Court's opinion in contrast to the hyper-partisan nature of the questions that the North Carolina citizens have answered. The genie does not go back in the bottle. We'll continue to follow this case. Norm and Mike entertain listener calls for the balance of the show. Norm entertains the possiblity that Liz Cheney might be a viable 2024 'centrist' presidential candidate, and Mike suggests that Dennis Rodman is as qualified as anyone. Like, share, and subscribe!

This episode of All Things Judicial focuses on the historic budget commitments made by the state legislature to the Judicial Branch in the bi-partisan spending plan passed in November 2021.

This episode is hosted by Legislative Liaison Joseph Kyzer and guests include Chuck Spahos, liaison for the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, and North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts Deputy Director Ryan Boyce."This budget truly is transformative for the court system," Boyce said on the podcast.
