Aliza Shatzman wanted to be a prosecutor.  But when her first boss - a federally-appointed Judge - started telling her he was 'more comfortable' with her male counterparts, she realized she'd need to navigate an entirely different set of challenges. In Ep. 20, we'll hear how Aliza:Decided to come out about harassment at work (including through Congressional testimony!)Realized anti-discrimination laws didn't cover her particular situation and so founded a non-profit - The Legal Accountability Project - to help change that.Now works to protect others in a way that no other organization is doing.Aliza's writing on judicial accountability has been featured in the Harvard Journal on Legislation, Yale Law & Policy Review, UCLA Journal of Gender & Law, Administrative Law Review, NYU Journal of Legislation & Public Policy, Law360, Above the Law, Slate, Ms. Magazine, and Balls and Strikes, and more.  Today, Aliza shares her leap - which was both deeply personal and professional - into this world of advocacy.   Follow Aliza Shatzman on Twitter @AlizaShatzman or on LinkedIn.  Read her House Judiciary testimony here, and learn more about The Legal Accountability Project at https://www.legalaccountabilityproject.org/.***Have guest ideas?
