SideBar: Optimism In Action - Conversations with Lawyers & Leaders Inspiring Positive Change

Seasons one and two of SideBar featured discussions with authors, lawyers, and academics discussing challenges to our individual constitutional and civil rights. Each episode ended with featured guests providing recommendations on how each of us can contribute to solutions for the common good. Season three of SideBar is flipping the narrative. Law Deans and Co-Hosts Jackie Gardina and Mitch Winick are featuring lawyers, nonprofit leaders, activists, and community members who are already accomplishing extraordinary work that is improving the humanitarian, public policy, and charitable needs of our local, national, and global communities. We hope that you will join us for this season of SideBar as we meet individuals and organizations who prove through their actions that opportunities to influence positive change exist for each of us. We are calling this season of SideBar— "Optimism in Action.”
