In this podcast, Mr. Jackson talks about how he was turned on to the prospect of practicing law, and shares how his father’s work as a police officer informed his evolution from prosecutions to Criminal and Labor Law advocacy for Civil Service employees. Mr. Jackson addresses recent police brutality cases, and while acknowledging the potential legal solutions being offered related to police accountability, he points out the key considerations (transcending law) which are at the root of the issue. Importantly, Mr. Jackson reminds that due process is for all of us (including police), offers thoughts on the responsibility of lawyers to make positive contributions (including with sound legal commentary), and displays a fundamental optimism that will energize and encourage listeners that the practice of law is in good hands.
