Episode Synopsis

A Covid-19 Special Episode. Courthouses are schedule to begin reopening on June 1, 2020 in NC. The coronavirus pandemic has presented tremendous obstacles for our society and for our court systems. As the courthouses reopen, there will be many changes, many new challenges, and a lot of trial by error. Many key players in the criminal justice system (judges, jurors, prosecutors, clerks, bailiffs, defense lawyers, and clients) will experience frustration and anxiety in dealing with these changes and challenges. However, these challenges give the criminal defense bar the opportunity to be the shining light of compassion and patience following the darkness of this disease. Let’s use this opportunity to showcase our character and change the public perception of our profession.
