The Legal Accountability Project: Protecting Clerks from Judicial Misconduct
When judges mistreat their clerks, who holds them accountable? Where can clerks turn to for help? What workplace protections exist? In this episode, Francesca and Jacob talk to Aliza Shatzman, president and founder of the Legal Accountability Project. In March 2022, Aliza submitted written testimony for a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing about the lack of workplace protections for judiciary employees, detailing her personal experience with harassment and retaliation by a former DC Superior Court judge. Now, Aliza advocates for other clerks through her nonprofit, helping to ensure they have positive experiences while providing resources to those who do not.

Professor
Really liked the episode on mental health at various levels of the legal profession and I think it extends to so many other professions who refuse to include wellness in their HR. Was also struck by the person talking about the “culture” of the law profession-most professions have some sort of “culture”(or accepted belief system) that determines the “norm.” The recent kerfuffle among anthropologists (like me) on Twitter came after someone posted that academics is a “calling” (like the priesthood, I guess) and so academics should not expect to be paid decently. There is no effort at all in academics at the professorial level to address or even recognize mental health and wellness. And we, too, are expected to work all the time, weekends included. Nuts.
Well designed and engaging for listeners!!
Will look forward to more podcasts!
Well presented and I am able to follow along and learn more about this important topic of the opioid crisis.
Interesting but…
Why does everyone under the age of 30 speak with that disaffected ‘Am I high, just waking up, or a Kardashian?’ tone to their voice?! Stahp!
