In this episode, Hannah and Julia speak with the founders of Our Rule of Law (ORoL) Foundation about democracy, what it means to be the youngest voice t in the room and how youth can make a real impact. We had a pleasure to welcome Anna, Elene and Zuzanna, co-founders of ORoL Foundation, an organisation aiming to mobilise youth towards developing Pan-European policy solutions addressing the rule of law and democracy crisis. Our Rule of Law was founded in 2021, when Anna, Elene and Zuzanna were students at the University of Groningen. Inspired by a lecture on the rule of law crisis in Poland, they decided to continue the discussion with their Professor John Morijn and soon after, Our Rule of Law was born. Today, the organisation is a registered NGO in the Netherlands, bringing together young people who are dedicated to foster and understand the foundations of democracy. Since 2021, Our Rule of Law mobilized youth in various projects, such as the Vote4OurRuleofLaw (Vote4ORoL) Fellowship, designed to encourage young Europeans to engage more actively in the elections to the European Parliament .In September 2025, the organisation published ‘Our Democracy Report' written by Young Democracy Rapportours. The report is a joint effort of over 60 young researchers from 16 Member States, including Austria, as well as Ukraine. Listen to this episode to learn what it's like to build a student-led organisation and how youth can really make an impact in European policy-making. We also discuss the findings of the ‘Our Democracy Report' and Anna, Elene and Zuzanna share their stories and tips. We hope this episode can be both educational and inspiring!

In this episode, new hosts Hannah and Julia, together with the support of Lukas, kick off the new season of Pro Bono. The podcast presents organisations working at the intersection of law and civil society, with a particular focus on human rights, equality, and the rule of law.We were lucky to start a new season of Pro Bono with Alina and Hellena from SHE*talks, a women's empowerment and networking initiative at the University of Vienna. SHE*talks aims to challenge outdated gender roles in legal education and strengthen the self-confidence of young women through open discussion, peer exchange, and critical reflection. You can see latest activities of SHE*talks and upcoming events on their instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/_she_talks_/ .Together, we talk about how SHE*talks started at the Juridicum, the topics addressed in past sessions, and what makes its discussion-based format unique and different from traditional lectures or seminars. We also explore gender-specific challenges faced by law students and graduates, the role of feminist conversations in the legal profession, and what it is like to run a student organisation alongside legal studies.This episode offers valuable insights for students interested in feminism, gender equality, voluntary student engagement, and the importance of creating inclusive spaces within legal education.

Buchempfehlungen sind eine Unmöglichkeit und zu unterlassen! Es gibt 170 Millionen Buchtitel, aktuell, und jedes Jahr kommen 2,2 Millionen hinzu. Es gibt 8,3 Milliarden Menschen auf der Welt und jeder ist dem anderen fremd. Wie kann man da auf die Idee kommen, jemand könne jemandem anderen halbwegs kompetent sagen, was er als nächstes lesen solle? Jeder weiß das und alle ignorieren es.Spätkapitalistischen Wirtschaftsunternehmen verzeiht man das Generve noch, ihr einziger Existenzgrund ist, Dir S**t zu verkaufen. Literaturnewsletter und -podcasts sind da schon grenzwertiger, wie viel Sendungsbewusstsein ist zu viel Sendungsbewusstsein? Jedes. Immerhin ist das Abonnement freiwillig. Aber Freunde sollten es besser wissen. Und dennoch empfiehlt unser ehemaliger Rezensent für das Studio B, Heiko Schramm, mir unerschrocken immer wieder Bücher, die sicher hervorragend, nützlich und vergnüglich sind, wenn man, sagen wir, vorhat, einen mittelgroßen Karibikstaat geheimdienstlich zu unterwandern oder, sicher auch nützlich zu wissen, als Außenminister der Vereinigten Staaten 3-Letter-Word-Agencies gegeneinander ausspielen möchte. Kurz, ich bin begeistert, es wärmt mir das Herz, dass mir zugetraut wird, den Nahostfriedensprozess entscheidend voranzubringen, aber mir fehlt einfach die Zeit, mich in die oft kiloschweren Werke einzuarbeiten; der Mord an JFK bleibt vorerst ungeklärt.Entsprechend erfreut und reserviert war ich, als Mr. Schramm mir vor meiner Exkursion nach Japan zwei Bücher auf die Leseliste setzte, die ich bitte in Asien beginnen möge. Kein “vielleicht”, kein “wenn es passt”, es war eine Anweisung, der ich besser Folge leiste. Immerhin waren die Titel japanisch, die Autoren bekannt:“Shibumi” von Trevanian (Das Pseudonym von Rodney William Whitaker, einem Mid-Century Bestsellerautor)und“Satori” von Don Winslow, genau dem, der Untertitel lautet “A Novel based on Trevanian's Shibumi” - interessant.“Shibumi” fängt spektakulär an. Heftig überzeichnetes CIA-Personal - der Veteran, Zigarre im Mundwinkel; der intrigierende Chef mit seinem an seinen Rockzipfeln hängenden Assistent, jedes Wort mitschreibend - werten eine “Aktion” aus. Auf einem Flughafen in Rom gab es eine Schießerei und wir verstehen die Worte, aber nicht wirklich den Zusammenhang - Geheimdienste halt. Zunächst werden zwei Israelis erschossen, dann die Schützen, die Japaner sind (?) aber irgendwie für die PLO arbeiten und dann doch für die CIA und wiederum von derselben erledigt werden, inklusive zwei, drei italienischen Kindern und Opas. Krass. Was geht ab?!Unklar. Was nicht an der Beschreibung liegt. Die ist brillant, vorstellbar, actionorientiert und trotz des vielen Blutes irgendwie fast “leicht”. Wir sehen das ganze aus den Augen der beteiligten Agenten, die das wiederum auf einem richtigen Zelluloidfilm sehen, aufgenommen von CIA-Agenten speziell für das Debriefing. Das gibt uns einen ersten Hinweis auf die Ära, in der wir uns befinden. Da ich wie immer komplett ahnungslos ins Buch gegangen bin, ist für mich noch unklar, wann es geschrieben wurde. Der erste Hinweis sind die sehr “Achtziger”-Meinungen des Veteranen-Agenten hinsichtlich des ihm zugeteilten Wingman. Dieser ist der Sohn eines Palästinenserführers, er wird im gesamten Buch als “Ziegenhüter” beschrieben werden. Das geht heute natürlich nicht mehr. Nicht weil heutzutage Rassismus gecancelt ist, sondern weil ein solch offensichtlicher Sarkasmus heute nicht mehr funktioniert. Entgegen der allgemeinen Annahme ist die Ursache aber nicht, dass wir jetzt alle supersensibel sind oder gar woke, sondern weil spätestens seit 9/11 antimuslimischer Rassismus hoffähig geworden ist und als Reaktion darauf ein solcher Sarkasmus gekennzeichnet werden muss, in rot, plus Warnung auf dem Cover und Herausgabe des Buches an Deutsche Linke nur gegen Ausweis. Trevanian, als Meister der Ironie, ist dankbarerweise in 2005 gestorben und musste den ganzen Quatsch nicht mehr miterleben, wir, als Leserinnen eines Buches aus 1981, müssen uns erst wieder einarbeiten. Die Ironie ist nicht nur an der offensichtlich übertriebenen Wortwahl zu erkennen, Trevanian legt seinem weltgewandten und weit rumgekommenen Haupthelden starke Thesen zu allen möglichen internationalen Akteuren in den Mund, jeder bekommt sein Fett weg.Bis der Japanschwerpunkt, wegen dessem mir das Buch ins Handgepäck beordert wurde, ins Spiel kommt, vergehen ein paar Seiten und zwar bis unser Protagonist, Mr. Hel (ein L) eingeführt wird. Das traf sich, kam doch auch ich erst recht spät in Japan zum Lesen und so koinzidierte die Jugend von Mr. Hel, als Sohn einer Russin und eines Deutschen, aufwachsend im Japan der späten 2. Weltkriegsjahre (mit den bekannten verheerenden Auswirkungen) mit meiner Reise durch die Stätten ebendieser Geschichte, kulminierend mit einem Besuch des Friedensmuseums in Hiroshima just zu dem Zeitpunkt, als im Buch die erste Liebe von Mr. Hel dahin zu ihren Eltern zurückkehrt, Anfang August 1945. Das wirkt.Beschrieben wird im Roman, seltsam schwebend zwischen Action und Betrachtung, die Suche eines weißen, kulturellen Japaners nach Shibumi. Shibumi ist eines dieser klassischen unübersetzbaren japanischen Worte, die darauf hinauslaufen, dass Du am Ende vor deinem Steingarten im Regen sitzt und meditierst.Bis er diesen Zustand findet, muss Nicolai Hel irgendwie Geld verdienen und, ausgebildet in exotischen Kampfkünsten, dem Brettspiel Go und gesegnet mit einer (minderen) Superpower, beschließt er, Terroristen zu jagen. Das macht er gegen Geld, aber, wenn es ihm in die Moral passt, auch Pro Bono. Dass er dabei einer erklecklichen Zahl von Akteuren auf die Füße tritt, kommt mit dem Terrain und, wie er selbst bemerkt, hat er eine Menge negatives Karma angehäuft. Zum Killen braucht es neben Geschick auch Glück und das hält nicht ewig, weshalb Nico mit fünfzig im Ruhestand ist und ein altes Schloss im Baskenland renovierend um einen japanischen Garten erweitert, was man so macht, als Auftragsmörder a.D. Aber natürlich ist das nicht das Ende des Romans, womit die Spoiler enden.Das alles ist genauso leicht geschrieben wie hier rezensiert, hier wird nicht viel ernst genommen und die Story eher zum Anlass, das ganze Geheimdienstgewerbe samt ihrer staatlichen Auftraggeber zu kommentieren, auszulachen, zu kritisieren und dass da niemand lebend rauskommt, dafür ist Rodney William Whitaker aka Trevanian bekannt. Man amüsiert sich köstlich, es erinnert, nicht nur wegen der epikuräischen Einschübe, an Simmels “Es muss nicht immer Kaviar sein” und im Stil ein bisschen an die “Neal Carey”-Serie von Don Winslow, die, na was für ein Zufall, zur selben Zeit rauskam. Deren Markenzeichen waren eingeschobene dutzendseitenlange Essays zu eher obskuren Themen (Chinesische Geschichte, Punks in London). Das macht Trevanian auch gern, hier in “Shibumi” ist es das Höhlenklettern, im Englischen so schön “Spelunking” genannt, dass bis zum letzten Seilknoten beschrieben wird. Trevanian schafft es dann gerade noch, den Essay zum Thema mit einem späten Plotpoint sinnvoll zu machen, aber selbst ohne dieses Kunststück ist dieser Stil ein sehr angenehmer Throwback in eine Zeit vor den formalistischen Serientrillern des industriellen Whodunnitzeitalters: alle Bücher 360 Seiten lang und genau bei 180 Seiten muss der Midpoint, die entscheidende Wendung, passiert sein. In “Shibumi” philosophiert der Autor zu dem Zeitpunkt noch gelassen über die Herkunft der Baskischen Sprache und wir freuen uns über die Unberechenbarkeit der Be- und Entschleunigung. Es ist alles ein bisschen japanisch. Ach né.Gleichzeitig ist es ein interessanter Blick in das Mindset der Achtzigerjahre und abgesehen von der nicht vorhandenen Scheu, Araber, Briten, Amis und alle anderen Drumrum ein bisschen aufs Klischéeis zu führen, ist es durchaus frappierend, wie viele der Aussagen zum Zustand der Politik hellseherisch wirken, bis man merkt, dass man das verkehrtherum sieht - ja, die Politik war schon immer korrupt, lange bevor Techbros dem Präsidenten einen Goldenen Ballsaal bauten, weil der so gut nach ihrer Pfeife tanzen kann.Ich sag: “Danke, Heiko, Top Treffer, Spitzenbuch!” und somit auch Nichtjapanreisenden empfohlen.Das sah um 2011 herum auch der große Don Winslow so. Irgendwann zwischen den brillanten beiden “Savages” Büchern (damals besprochen von Irmgard Lumpini) meinte old Don noch ein Buch einschieben zu müssen, das man heute gemeinhin als Fanfic definiert. Er schreibt in “Satori” die Geschichte von Nicholai Hel weiter, oder genauer, er füllt die Lücken in der Biografie, wie wir sie in “Shibumi” lasen. Und das macht zunächst durchaus Sinn, der Autor des Originals ist lange tot und die erfundene Figur damit verdammt zu einem einzigen Auftritt, was liegt näher als ihm einen weiteren zu geben, und warum nicht von Don Winslow, der, siehe oben, seine schriftstellerische Karriere in ähnlichem Stil begann.Leider/zum Glück, je nach Perspektive, hat sich Don Winslow stilistisch weiterentwickelt. Dramaturgisch sind seine Romane deutlich komplexer aber auch zielstrebiger geworden - etwas, was man von “Shibumi” nicht wirklich behaupten kann. Entsprechend groß ist der Bruch, wenn man “Satori” direkt im Anschluss liest. Wo Trevanian sich Zeit nimmt für einen Ausflug in Kommentare zur Weltpolitik oder die gefährliche Welt des Spelunking, füllt Don Winslow die Lücken im Lebenslauf des Nicolai Hel auf und es ist, sorry, “Malen nach Zahlen”. Wo Trevanian uns in Hel's Lebensgeschichte mit albernem Nonsens unterhält, zum Beispiel der Story, wie Hel zum “Lover der Stufe IV” wurde, inklusive der Beschreibung, was Stufe I bis III sind und wie man diese Skills als Waffe einsetzen kann - und ich muss nicht erklären, dass das alles lustiger Blödsinn ist - langweilt uns Don Winslow mit einer peinlichen Sexszene, die wohl in die Vita von Nico Hel passt, aber leider komplett das Sujet des Originalromans “intelligente Spionagekomödie” verfehlt. Das liegt natürlich daran, dass Don Winslow seit der Neal Carey Reihe ein brillanter Schriftsteller und Storyteller geworden ist, dabei aber an Humor eingebüßt hat. In seinen Spätwerken fallen mir ein paar Szenen mit Sean Callan und Stevie O'Leary, den Teenager-Gangstern aus Hell's Kitchen in “Tage der Toten” ein, die ein bisschen Slapstick machten, bis alles in ernsthaft blutigen Massakern versank und damit war Schluss mit Lustig.Genauso geht Don Winslow auch an “Shibumi” heran und das ist dann halt ziemlich langweilig, Fanfic halt, und ich bin nach einem Viertel im Buch ernsthaft gelangweilt und kann das alles nicht empfehlen.Dafür, wie gesagt, umso mehr Trevanians Original “Shibumi”, denn was wäre die Welt ohne Buchempfehlungen?!

Send us a textIt's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in Houston, and in this episode it's beginning to look a lot like divorce -- along with other family law topics. This episode brings advice for family lawyers and pro bono attorneys who find themselves working on a family law case, and it also may serve as a resource for self-represented litigants in family court.  Segment One:  Best Practices in Family Court for Family Lawyers, Pro Bono Attorneys, and Self-Represented LitigantsJudge Gloria E. López (308th Family District Court), Judge Germaine Tanner (311th Family District Court), and Judge Janice Berg (247th Family District Court), provide practice tips based on their combined 18 years of experience as judges in Harris County Family Courts. They discuss best practices for family lawyers, pro bono lawyers who have a family law case, and self-represented litigants who have cases in family law court. Segment Two: Protective Orders 101Maisha Colter, Chief Executive Officer of AVDA-Texas, talks about how to obtain a domestic violence protective order, provides statutory updates related to obtaining these orders, and addresses issues pro bono or self-represented litigants should be aware of if they end up with a case that may involve domestic violence issues. Importantly, if you are experiencing domestic violence, help is available - call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).   Service Spotlight: Finding Time to Have a Heart and Raise AwarenessKelly LaPar (Senior Counsel for NRG Energy, Inc. in Operation and Generation) and Dr. Damian LaPar (Chief of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, Executive Co-Director of the UTHealth Houston Children's Heart Institute, and Professor in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at McGovern Medical School) are co-chairing the American Heart Association - Houston Chapter's Houston Heart Ball this February. They address the importance of giving back and how to find the time to do that, and they provide some tips (and potential New Year's resolutions) for cardiovascular wellness. It is a timely and important topic for Houston lawyers. Segment Three: When Practice Areas Intersect: Immigration and Family LawBehind-the-Lines interviewer Rinku Ray talks with Ana Maria Schwartz (Principal of Schwartz Immigration Law, PLLC) about the ways immigration law and family law intersect and provides important insight into immigration issues family lawyers may need to be aware of. This is a very interesting interview that should be of interest to all lawyers. Segment Four: The Nuts & Bolts of Guardianship Cases, A Rewarding Pro Bono ExperienceNew Behind-the-Lines interviewer Jennifer Smith talks with Gerald Kimani (Gibson Dunn) about his extensive pro bono work on guardianship cases. Kimani discusses the substantive details about filing guardianship applications as well as the benefits of this important pro bono service, and he also briefly addresses helping obtain expunction orders on a pro bono basis. For full speaker bios, visit The Houston Lawyer (hba.org/thehoustonlawyer).

Tyler Chair in Law and Technology, Albany Law School, and David Turetsky, Professor of Practice Emeritus, University of Albany, about how lawyers can plan ahead to meet the moment for pro bono clients.

In this open discussion episode, host Kendall Hotchkiss leads a candid conversation about navigating challenging client relationships on pro bono projects!This episode covers:Pro bono work requires boundaries too: Even volunteer projects need contracts, timelines, and scope definitions to prevent scope creep and maintain professional relationshipsThe contract as your bouncer: Setting up agreements after a project starts is still valuable - frame it as helping everyone get organized rather than creating frictionDesign by committee challenges: When working with clients who have some technical knowledge but lack expertise, lead with questions about their goals rather than telling them what's wrongTime as leverage: When there's no payment involved, your availability and timeline become your primary negotiating tools for maintaining boundariesThe 50% rule for resistance: If clients consistently push back on expert recommendations, especially on accessibility standards, you may need to accept their limitations and focus energy elsewhereWalking away professionally: Always have a referral ready and offer project files when exiting a difficult engagement - how you leave matters as much as how you startClient communication strategies: Mirror client language back to them, keep emails brief with links to detailed notes, and break feedback into specific review rounds to manage expectationsUpcoming Events:Next week's guest: Haley Akins from Motion Hatch!Garlic Phone Game Night: December 3rdOpen call for volunteers: Monday Meeting is seeking hosts and behind-the-scenes help for 2026Visit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Newsletter⁠

Thousands of Washington, D.C. area kids with disabilities rely on buses for transportation to the schools that can serve their educational needs — some of which are very far from their homes.

¿Puede un abogado cambiar el mundo? La respuesta es sí. Y nuestra invitada lo demuestra todos los días. En este nuevo episodio de Efecto Disruptivo, Juan del Cerro nos invita a descubrir una cara poco conocida pero esencial del ecosistema de impacto: la abogacía con propósito. Hablamos con Lila Gasca, directora del área Pro Bono en Hogan Lovells y líder de la Alianza Global de Abogados de Impacto (GAIL), quien nos comparte cómo el derecho puede ser una herramienta activa para construir una sociedad más justa, sostenible y responsable. A lo largo del episodio, Lila nos cuenta cómo pasó de una práctica legal tradicional a impulsar causas sociales, medioambientales y de gobernanza, convencida de que el derecho no solo debe regular, sino también transformar. Nos explica cómo los abogados pueden acompañar a empresas con propósito y organizaciones sociales para constituirse, levantar capital, proteger su misión y, sobre todo, mantenerse fieles a su impacto. Además, profundizamos en uno de los proyectos más esperanzadores del momento: la Ley BIC (Beneficio e Interés Colectivo), una iniciativa que busca reconocer legalmente en México a las empresas que generan valor económico, social y ambiental por igual. Una ley que podría cambiar la forma en que entendemos el emprendimiento en nuestro país, dándole una identidad jurídica a quienes deciden hacer negocios con propósito. También exploramos el próximo gran encuentro internacional de GAIL, la Cumbre de Abogados por el Impacto, que se celebrará del 13 al 15 de octubre en la Universidad Iberoamericana. Un espacio donde juristas, emprendedores, académicos y líderes globales se reunirán para repensar el papel de las profesiones en la construcción de un futuro más sostenible. Desde historias inspiradoras hasta reflexiones profundas sobre el poder del derecho, este episodio nos recuerda que no hay cambio posible sin leyes que lo respalden. Y que detrás de cada empresa de impacto, hay también mentes legales que están cambiando las reglas del juego.

Send us a textWhen Taylor Barlow decided to take on a pro bono asylum case, he never imagined it would become the most emotionally significant work of his legal career. His client's story reads like a political thriller – a peaceful activist from Togo who organized an 800,000-person march against a dictatorial regime, only to face years of brutal retaliation including kidnappings, beatings, and torture.After military police broke into his home, beating him and his young son unconscious, this father of two made the heartbreaking choice to leave his family behind and flee for his life. What followed was a harrowing two-month journey through South and Central America, including the notoriously deadly Darién Gap jungle crossing, where "one in three migrants die." Twice kidnapped in Mexico before finally reaching the U.S. border, he was immediately detained and placed in removal proceedings.This episode takes listeners deep into the complex, often misunderstood asylum process. We witness Barlow's fight against nearly impossible odds – a 90-minute hearing (reduced from four hours) to present a decade of persecution, technical legal barriers because his client crossed without an appointment, and the gut-wrenching realization that even proving all elements of asylum might not be enough as "asylum is completely discretionary."The emotional climax comes when Barlow's rarely successful motion for reconsideration is granted, securing his client's freedom and future. Beyond the legal victory, we glimpse the profound human impact as this new asylee sends his attorney a poignant photo of himself standing beneath an American flag on July 4th – a man who nearly died for the freedom to protest now finding refuge in a nation founded on that very principle.What makes this story so compelling is how it puts a human face on asylum policy while showcasing the life-changing impact of pro bono legal work. As Barlow reflects, "This mattered to this guy and it mattered to his wife and to his little kids... I saw myself and I saw my kids in him and his kids."Have you ever wondered what rights we take for granted? Listen now and consider what price others pay for freedoms we exercise daily without a second thought.

DLA Piper's Bob Alessi thought something was amiss when he was asked to review the forensic and scientific material in the initial mistrial of Karen Read, a Massachusetts woman accused of killing a police officer. He then used his background in STEM subjects, a semi-photographic memory and a dogged attention to social media to pick apart the state's case, resulting in an acquittal on her most serious charges.

Guests from a Kansas pro bono partnership discuss how private businesses and in-house attorneys can support legal aid initiatives in their communities on Talk Justice. In 2017, Koch was interested in making pro bono work an official part of the company, but learned that Kansas rules did not allow in-house attorneys who are licensed by outside states to provide local pro bono services. Koch worked with KLS to get the rule changed, demonstrating that the demand for free legal help greatly exceeded the supply of legal aid lawyers. Ever since, Koch attorneys have engaged in an ongoing partnership with KLS to provide pro bono expungement and driver's license restoration clinics. Learn more about your ad choices.

We saw so many people die as a level 1 trauma center so there was so much emotional baggage that we carry as doctors through that, but I never faltered.
