Justice Anita Earls Part 2: The investigation into her statements on diversity
Manage episode 430405284 series 3344448
Justice Anita Earls of the North Carolina Supreme Court knows about some reforms that will improve our justice system. But she also knows about some that will provoke an unhappy response—including an investigation against her personally.
In this second half of our interview, Justice Earls talks about how she found herself under investigation for calling for judicial reform.
We previously asked Aliza Shatzman why the Legal Accountability Project is necessary: don’t judges police their own, we asked? The answer is: yes, but not in the way you’d hope.
