Guest: Scott L. Cummings, Robert Henigson Professor of Legal Ethics and Faculty Director Program on Legal Ethics & Profession, UCLA School of Law
Discussion on cases, over 60 of them brought by Trump lawyers - many frivolous - have eroded societal perceptions of the rule of law, putting in question how the rules of legal ethics, American law, and the concept of justice in a democratic society are meted-out, and truly meant to work.
We explore the “Backsliding Democracy” - what it is and how it can regress society, the rule law and erode the concommitant trust that goes with it.
Scott L. Cummings, has published many scholarly articles and numerous books - his Forthcoming Book, is entitled: Lawyers and Movements - Legal Mobilization in Transformative Times:
Presents new theory of why and how lawyers matter to social change
Shows why historical critiques of lawyers are misguided
Demonstrates centrality of lawyers and legal mobilization to contemporary social movements with cutting-edge examples.
His book will be released in 2025. In the interim, enjoy the discussion!
