I'll be searching YouTube for interviews/content (send it if you got it). For the time being, I went back to Tree's discussion of empathy from his 1993 article "Beyond Justifications: Seeking Motivations to Sustain Public Defenders" in the Harvard Law Review.

Tree was a force. He shaped the legal profession and inspired so many (me, profoundly). His trial ad program and Criminal Justice Institute set the model for lawyering skill development. At the same time, he was dedicated to his students and had their backs. Rest In Power.

The license plate was removed as part of a frame job. But I suppose it also helps us understand the importance of license plates.

By coincidence, I swear, I just read the sixth Lincoln Lawyer book in which a police officer casually mentions general license plate enforcement as an important crime control measure.

I believe we’ve settled on a title for the book: DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE: ONE LAWYER’S PURSUIT OF EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL (@wwnorton). Look for it in book stores everywhere (hopefully) by March 2024.

Here is an example of the change in tone. To unhoused people, if you don't accept services, you will face prosecution and incarceration.

And it turns out the interim SF District Attorney's public letter supporting the expansion of community surveillance by police was written by...the mayor's office.

One reason I say it's gross. The new DA suggests we need mass police surveillance for police accountability and exonerations. Nope.

The consequence for those who commit crimes in the city is mass surveillance of the community.

The reality of firing progressive prosecutors and eliminating entire units that promote rehab and reentry. This will happen for data driven reform, police review, and more. Without some formal policy reversal, the work is just gone. And the interim DA appears to have no clue.

While being fired, I thought of the victims. I asked the DA what to do about a family who was flying here for a case I had. She was unaware & said she’d talk to my supervisor. I told her she had fired my supervisor. She said she’d talk to the chief. I told her she fired the chief
