Episode 72: Judicial Discrimination & Cleaning Up The Judiciary
Join me for a candid yet also inspirational discussion with Aliza Shatzman about judicial discrimination & the changes needed within our judiciary.
Aliza Shatzman is the President and Co-Founder of The Legal Accountability Project, a nonprofit aimed at ensuring that as many law clerks as possible have positive clerkship experiences.
In today’s interview, Aliza shares her gut-wrenching personal story of having to deal with gender discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by a former DC judge. And how that closed the door to her big legal dreams.
But it doesn’t end there because today’s story is also about courage and resilience.
Here’s What You’ll Learn In Today’s Interview With Aliza:
-
How to be courageous in the face of daunting odds.
-
How to bounce back after thinking you’ve lost out on your dreams.
-
Why so few victims of judicial discrimination file complaints.
-
Why we’re ALL impacted (and our profession is tarnished) by judicial discrimination.
-
The truth about how women in law treat other women when it comes to discrimination (that must be addressed if anything’s going to change).
-
How you can make a difference to increase judicial accountability.
