Today, Hunter spoke with Amanda Jack and Kalle Condliffe of the New York Legal Aid Society about the fight to save Kalief's Law. This law, passed in 2020, aimed to create much needed reforms to evidence discovery in criminal trials. Naturally, prosecutors have hated new requirements for disclosure, and they have attempted to get the laws peeled back before they even went in place. Now with the help of Governor Hochul, prosecutors are once again trying to get these laws repealed so they can return to their preferred practice, trail by ambush.      Guest Amanda Jack, Policy Director, Criminal Defense Practice, New York Legal Aid Society Kalle Condliffe, Supervising Attorney, New York Legal Aid Society Resources: Protect Kalief's Law Coalition https://protectkaliefslaw.com/ Email Amanda Amandajack@gmail.com Email Kalle kcondliffe@legal-aid.org   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

May 21st Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode Although they are not universally accepted, court self-service centers can help prepare self-represented litigants to navigate the exotic terrain of the courtroom.  They can also expedite court proceedings and weed out inappropriate arguments.  Less obvious but equally as important, the information these centers provide helps boost the public's trust and confidence in the courts. We well know that the public's perception of courts has been woefully lagging over these last several years.         A basic tenet of self-service centers, in fact, a tenet of all public-facing court staff is “we cannot give legal advice.”  Yet this prohibition is more nuanced than it first appears.   There are a host of questions that seem more procedural than legal.  Questions many self-represented litigants may not even know enough to ask about.  How much should courts tell litigants? How much information should courts volunteer even if the litigants don't know to ask?  This month we are going to look at what courts can, do, and should tell litigants.  This episode presents several situations in which self-represented litigants often find themselves.  These are situations that do not immediately appear to involve giving legal advice.  Rather they seem, on their face, procedural.  But they are obscure enough that only individuals who have been in the system might know their implications.        Today's Panel  Nathan Devries, Supervising Attorney, Self-Help Services Unit, Superior Court, San Bernardino, California; Robby Southers, Managing Attorney for the Self-Help & Dispute Resolution Center, Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus, Ohio; Jena Elsnes, Program Manager, Minnesota Judicial Branch's Self-Represented Litigant Program; Danielle Trujillo Court Administrator for the Municipal Court, Littleton, Colorado

In this episode, Naomi Sunshine, a director in the Public Interest Law Center and Supervising Attorney in the Immigrants Right Clinic at NYU Law School, discusses the process of reclaiming German citizenship under Article 116 Paragraph 2 of the Basic Law, which provides for the restoration of German citizenship to former German citizens deprived of their German citizenship due to “political, racial, or religious grounds” in the time period from January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945, and their descendants. One of the primary purposes of Article 116 was to restore the German citizenship of denaturalized German Jews. Sunshine describes her family story and explains the process of applying for German citizenship under section 116. She also describes the experience of becoming a German citizen. Here is a link to the application for German citizenship under Article 116.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law.

In California there are a significant number of justice engaged students who are English Language Learners, or ELL, immigrant youth or noncitizen youth. They face even more barriers that make it difficult to re-enter their communities once released from custody. Often the success of these students is dependent on strong support systems at home. These students are relied upon to translate for their parents, and play other crucial roles in translating for the family. There is sense uncertainty and uneasiness experienced by these families. And entanglement in the criminal justice system exasperates these levels of anxiety. We have a conversation with Nisreen Baroudi, the Supervising Attorney for the Juvenile Division Public Defenders Office, Santa Clara County, CA. to get her personal opinion on these topics and much more, on this episode of Advice from the Inside Out.

On this show, we discuss the expanding protections for juveniles in North Carolina with Dr. Lorraine Taylor, the Executive Director of the NCCU Juvenile Justice Institute, and Professor Dorothy Hairston-Mitchell, the Supervising Attorney for the Juvenile Clinic at the NCCU School of Law. 

I wanted to pass on the information that I need to do a format shift for Tax Justice Warriors.  I have been thinking it would be good to have a co-host on the show to bring in more conversations on current tax topics.  I have enlisted frequent guest Andrew Belter, LITC Program Director at Wisconsin Judicare, to be a co-host so we are going to try and provide you some interesting discussions.  This will lead to some longer episodes. Also, I am keeping busy in my position as Supervising Attorney of the Consumer Protection Unit (which includes the LITC) at Legal Aid of Western Missouri.  As a result, it has been tougher for me to find the time to edit podcasts so I am going to switch from a weekly format to twice a month.  So, that means longer episodes but less often.   Hopefully, a frequency that works for everyone. I hope you will tune in and join us!

On this show, we discuss the rental and housing crisis, which is being exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic with Yolanda Winstead, the President and CEO of DHIC, and Jesse McCoy, NCCU Law alum, and the James Scott Farrin Lecturing Fellow and the Supervising Attorney for the Civil Justice Clinic at Duke University Law School.

A personal update!   I have changed jobs from the LITC at Kansas Legal Services to working at the LITC at Legal Aid of Western Missouri.   Additionally, I am Supervising Attorney for their Consumer Protection Unit.

The Harmful Effects Of Glyphosate, The Most Common Agrochemical | This episode is brought to you by Tushy and ButcherBoxWe’re living in an age where it’s increasingly hard to avoid exposure to toxins. Some of the most ubiquitous are right on our food, on some of the most commonly eaten items in the American diet. It’s no wonder that illnesses related to toxicity, like cancer, infertility, and neurological diseases, are on the rise. The most widely used pesticide in our food supply is glyphosate. It’s used all over the world on more than 70 different food crops, including corn, soy, and wheat and is linked to some serious health risks, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It’s terrifying to consider that a bowl of Cheerios has more glyphosate per serving than vitamins D and B12, both of which are added to try to boost nutritional value. We need to change our food system if we want to change our health, and it’s issues like these that need our help. I was so happy to sit down with my good friend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to dig into the topic of glyphosate and corruption in the agricultural industry. Bobby Kennedy serves as President of Waterkeeper Alliance, Chairman of the Board and Chief Legal Counsel for Children’s Health Defense, and of counsel to Morgan & Morgan, a nationwide personal injury practice. He was previously Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper, Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney at Pace University School of Law’s Environmental Litigation Clinic.

On this show, we discuss with our guests the various forms of alternative dispute resolution and we talk about when it might be better for disputing parties to seek these alternatives to the litigation process to resolve their differences. Our guests on this show are Pam Glean, NCCU Law Professor and Chair of the Dispute Resolution Institute, and Mavis Gragg, Supervising Attorney for the NCCU Law Dispute Resolution Clinic.
