#ALL MY RELATIONS PODCAST SUMMARY EPISODE 7 TRIAL#

I can take on the role of Gina and speak as Gina if that would be helpful.ДЄll right. But the one client who I think was actually the most important client in the case, because her treatment said the most to the judge about the reality of this, was a woman named Gina Alvarez.

I had six clients in the same case, all bringing the same claims, each arising from a completely separate factual circumstance. The one most recently that comes to mind is a case that successfully challenged the practice of small police departments in South Dakota of forcibly catheterizing drug suspects when needed to try to get evidence of drug use.Д¬an you share with us the story from your clientвЂ™s perspective? Jim, can you share with us a story of a case that had a profound impact on you? Well, thank you for inviting me, Scott, and I hope IвЂ™m worthy of that very kind introduction. Jim, thank you so much for being with us. ItвЂ™s really my pleasure to be talking with Jim Leach today. HeвЂ™s had three successive laws enacted by the state of South Dakota that restricted election rights to be held unconstitutional. Over the years, heвЂ™s done many different types of cases and legal work, including environmental and treaty cases on behalf of Native Americans, and most recently, heвЂ™s one several lawsuits on behalf of prisoners.

Jim moved to South Dakota right after graduating from law school in 1975 to work as a volunteer lawyer for the Wounded Knee Defense Committee, a pro bono organization that defended Native Americans that were charged with serious federal crimes after they occupied the village of Wounded Knee for 71 days in their search for a better life.

IвЂ™m very happy to be talking with Jim Leach, who is such a wonderful guy thatвЂ™s been part of the foundation for Trial Lawyers College, and truly a lawyer that represents what I think we all aspire to, whoвЂ™s fighting to make peopleвЂ™s lives better every day, and has devoted his career to doing this. He practices out of South Dakota, but his cases have national impact and are really, really involve lessons for all of us and a lot of insight. HeвЂ™s fought for the right of the downtrodden, the poor, the abused, and he really is an inspiration for all of us. HeвЂ™s fought for the rights of Native Americans for years, decades. Jim is a wonderful lawyer from South Dakota who really has walked the walk and talked the talk. Today, weвЂ™re very lucky we have Jim Leach. IвЂ™m Scott Glovsky, and IвЂ™m your host for this podcast where we speak with some of the best lawyers in the country.
