Description

As state judicial elections become more and more expensive, it's worth asking whether campaign funding impacts judicial decision making. On this episode, Jeanne Hruska speaks with Michael Kang and Joanna Shepherd about their new book, "Free to Judge: The Power of Campaign Money in Judicial Elections." According to Kang and Shepherd, “campaign money profoundly affects how judges do their jobs.” Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, ACS Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Michael S.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
