The LA Superior Court is the largest single unified trial court in the United States, serving the approximately 10 million residents of Los Angeles County—the cases it handles spanning a wide range of legal matters, from civil cases to criminal cases, family law, and juvenile matters.As the state and county have grown, so has demand on the legal system. Access to justice—the inability for Americans to find and/or afford legal representation—has been called a crisis. What does that mean? What can be done about it?Stanford Law School's Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and Legal Design Lab released a groundbreaking diagnostic report in April that outlines a blueprint for creating more innovative, modern, and accessible courts. The report marks a significant milestone in the unique partnership established in January 2024 between the Superior Court of Los Angeles County (the Court – SCLAC) and Stanford Law School. Created in collaboration with court leadership, frontline court staff, and community partners, the findings of the Stanford report demonstrate the Court's commitment to enhancing the self-represented litigant experience and its dedication to leading in justice innovation.Our guests joining Pam Karlan for this episode include Stanford Law Professor David Freeman Engstrom, the co-director of the Rhode Center whose work focuses on access to justice in the millions of low-dollar but highly consequential cases, including debt collection, eviction, foreclosure, and child support actions, that shape the lives of Americans each year;  Margaret Hagan, the executive director of the Legal Design Lab at Stanford Law School whose researches, designs, and develops new ways to make the U.S. civil justice system work better for people; and Daniel Bernal, associate director of research at the Rhode Center whose work explores the intersection of civil procedure and access to justice, with a focus on designing and testing innovations to make state courts work better for people. Links:David Freeman Engstrom  >>> Stanford Law pageMargaret Hagan  >>> Stanford Law pageDaniel Bernal  >>> Stanford Law pageA Blueprint for Expanding Access to Justice in Los Angeles Superior Court's Eviction Docket  >>>  Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00) Introductions and Tour of the LA Superior Court(00:21:25) Use of Technology and the Pain Points in Court Systems (00:27:25) National Implications of Court Innovations (00:33:00 Court as a Central Hub for Legal Problem-Solving (00:35:04) Collaboration and Future Prospects

Treating pain without seeing the full picture is like fixing a leaky pipe without checking the water supply for the real issue.   Dr. Andrew Fix shares a story about a patient who followed all the rules of rehab but still couldn't shake her knee pain. Months of physical therapy focused on the joint itself, yet her mobility was limited and the discomfort persisted. Why wasn't it working?   As it turns out, the problem wasn't only in her knee. Her hip and ankle on the same side were stiff and weak, issues no one had looked at before. Dr. Fix explains how a more thorough, full-body assessment changed the course of her care and revealed what had likely contributed to the pain all along.   If you're dealing with lingering pain or stuck progress, this episode is a reminder to zoom out. Are we really treating the cause, or just the symptom? For physical therapy to be effective, the whole body has to be part of the conversation.   Quotes “Sometimes we don't do quite as thorough of an evaluation on those people because we're just so focused on the surgery that they just had.” (04:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “What we found was that she has a significantly stiffened hip on the same side, that same leg, the left side, compared to the other hip. Her ankle, super stiff on that left side compared to the other side. And of course, that's the side that she's still having knee pain on.” (05:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We cannot look at this person, this individual, because they had a knee surgery, just like we need to rehab their knee. We need to think about how this interacts and how this plays with the entire body.” (07:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “It's not rocket science, right? If we have pain in a joint, we can't just look at that joint. We need to look above. We need to look below.” (09:53 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You can't treat issues in a vacuum because otherwise you're going to have results that are in a vacuum that aren't going to expand to be widespread positive changes.” (10:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

The conversation moved into strategies for avoiding liability, including documenting decisions and working closely with probate attorneys, especially in markets with higher litigation risk. The group then tackled challenges around reverse mortgages in probate, particularly in California, noting automatic foreclosure timelines and the need for clear communication with heirs. This led to a deeper dive into navigating attorney resistance when a personal representative wants to work with an agent the attorney hasn't chosen. Coaches advised agents to maintain strong client relationships, remain professional, and take a long-term view on building trust with attorneys. Later, the hosts outlined the essential vendor network categories every probate agent should develop: white-collar professionals, blue-collar service providers, and niche specialists like estate sale companies and appraisers. The episode concluded with a heartfelt discussion about a new agent's commission dispute, offering broader lessons on setting expectations, respecting mentorship, and maintaining a resilient mindset early in your career.Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Curtis Thomson is something of a systems whisperer for industries bogged down by manual processes. Having cut his teeth in the construction world and then co-founding and scaling the field service management software Simpro across the globe, he witnessed firsthand how disjointed systems and repetitive tasks can drain businesses and the people within them. He saw friends in the trades working grueling hours only to face business failure and personal hardship, sparking a passion to solve these efficiency problems with technology. Now, Curtis brings his outsider perspective and deep experience in streamlining complex operations to the property management sector with Our Property. Property management, as he notes, is rife with accepted pain points—manual trust accounting, compliance burdens, endless maintenance cycles, and the thankless task of arrears management. Thomson sees a future where technology handles the "donkey work", allowing property managers to escape mediocrity and focus on high-value activities like building relationships and growing portfolios. The conversation dives into the practical application of automation and AI to solve core property management challenges. It's not just about surface-level fixes, but fundamentally rethinking processes like trust accounting, maintenance coordination, and even arrears collection to build more resilient, efficient, and ultimately more human-centric property management businesses. Breaking Free from "How It's Always Been Done"—The Inertia Problem A recurring theme is the industry's tendency to stick with outdated processes simply because "that's the way we've always done it". Curtis argues this isn't unique to property management but a common human trait. He shared an anecdote about a customer acknowledging their agency hadn't changed in 20 years and was actively trying to reconfigure. Escaping this inertia requires honestly evaluating which tasks add value versus which are just "busy work". Curtis notes, "A lot of the time it's just, we just keep doing it this way because it's just the way we've always done it". He stresses the importance of questioning processes: "Are you adding value to the conversation with the landlord right now? Are you adding value to the tenancy right now? Like, is it, is this good for the customer? Is this good for the business? If not, Why are you doing that?". Trust Accounting Reimagined—Automating Compliance and Reducing Risk Trust accounting has always been a major compliance headache. Thomson explains how Our Property integrates the trust account differently, automating many manual reconciliation and disbursement tasks. This approach aims to eliminate human error and the associated risks, effectively outsourcing the compliance burden. Untangling Maintenance—Coordination Through Automation Maintenance is another area plagued by inefficiency. It involves numerous moving parts: capturing requests, coordinating trades, getting approvals, managing quotes, and handling keys. Thomson highlights the potential for automation to manage these complex workflows based on predefined rules and landlord preferences. He points out the absurdity of manual follow-ups: "Why am I having to chase the trade to bring the keys back? Can't the systems just do that for me?". Technology can handle routing emergency jobs, managing quote requirements, and even suggesting trades based on performance data, freeing property managers from constant chasing. Personalised Arrears Management—AI as the 'Bad Cop' Nobody enjoys chasing arrears. Curtis sees AI as perfectly suited to handle this often unpleasant task, moving beyond generic templates to personalised communication campaigns based on tenant behaviour and communication history. The system can determine each individual's best messaging style (soft or firm) and channel (email or SMS). When a human intervention is needed,

Are pediatricians prepared for the mental health crisis that's impacting so many of our children today?In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with nationally recognized child psychiatrist and podcast host Dr. Elise Fallucco to uncover the urgent realities facing pediatric practice. From understanding why a simple podcast name change can transform the reach of critical mental health education, to exploring the real-world, stepwise journey pediatricians navigate when facing complex child anxiety and medication management, this episode is a masterclass in practical empowerment. Listeners will discover actionable strategies for burnout, the evolving landscape of pediatric mental health treatment, and authentic stories of resilience, support, and resourcefulness. The stakes have never been higher—and the need to equip pediatric clinicians with the right knowledge and mindset is more critical than ever. Don't miss this invigorating roadmap for providing exceptional care in panicked times.[00:02 - 05:46] Branding, Access, and Reaching Pediatric CliniciansPediatric mental health education is increasingly being disseminated beyond in-person local trainings, leveraging digital platforms like podcasts to amplify access and reach.Clear, descriptive branding ensures the right clinicians can find mental health resources at the exact moment they need support in practice.The main driver in choosing content is what pediatricians most urgently seek: practical, actionable advice about managing medications for anxiety and ADHD.Making specialized knowledge accessible via on-demand, digestible podcast episodes empowers clinicians to feel less isolated and more competent.[05:47 - 13:30] The Ongoing Challenge of Anxiety, Burnout, and Self-CareAnxiety has emerged as the most common and burdensome mental health concern for children, exacerbated by societal stress and recent global events.Differentiating normal anxiety from clinical anxiety is crucial: functional impairment and life disruption are key markers for escalated intervention.Coping strategies for clinicians are vital; the “three pillars” are staying busy with purposeful activity, reaffirming personal/professional mission, and prioritizing self-care.Peer connection, exercise, and carving out time for meaningful relationships are highlighted as essential personal de-stressors.[13:31 - 25:00] Building Skill, Facing Complexity, and the Realities of CarePediatricians experience a four-stage progression from fear and avoidance to high-confidence care in managing pediatric mental health—each with unique challenges and rewards.Access limitations to child psychiatry have forced primary care clinicians to expand their skillsets and comfort zones, often out of necessity.Collaborative consultation programs, like psychiatric access hotlines, accelerate learning, build confidence, and foster an environment where sharing expertise is normalized.Developing fluency with diagnoses and medication management leads to more effective and streamlined care; “herd immunity” and practice culture shifts increase collective capacity.[25:01 - 36:05] Pain Points, Solutions, and Sustaining Progress in Pediatric Mental HealthBarriers to therapy—including logistics, family skepticism, and stigma—limit effective care, even as access improves; motivational interviewing is a partial solution but not a panacea.Integrated behavioral health models and school-based clinics offer promising solutions by reducing friction and meeting children and families where they are.Time constraints and misaligned incentives remain top frustrations; procedures are often reimbursed more than complex mental health care, despite the latter's intensity and impact.Empathy,...
