Here’s the Season 3 Premiere of Justice Matters! It’s been a minute since last season, so this is your chance to catch up with the elected 34th Judicial District Attorney James Montoya and El Paso County Attorney Christina Sanchez. Have they met the goals they set for themselves in that first episode from Season 1? Join Aaron and guest-host and current KVIA Morning Show anchor Rosemary Garcia to hear more about how both of these powerhouses have settled into their positions.
In this Season Finale, guest co-host Sandra Garcia, the ED of the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence and Aaron bring you four of the most important components of response to domestic violence in our community – the DA, the CA, the Sheriff and an EPPD Asst. Chief. Last fall, they came together in a panel at the 3rd Annual Family Justice and Wellness Conference. Hear about challenges and opportunities related to holding offenders accountable and helping victims get safe. And listen in for who likes hiking, ATV’ing, and dancing in their off-time wellness.
How does our community address challenges in the criminal and civil justice system related to people with mental health challenges? This week hear from ADA Dana Carmona about innovative programs aimed at diverting defendants experiencing crises to mental health services rather than the jail system. And learn from ACA Jed Untereker about how civil commitments can also be an important, yet imperfect, tool for positive interventions.
As law offices, both the District and County Attorney’s Offices rely on technology to function. From creating digital processes and procedures to completing special data projects to basically making the lawyers look good in court, tech really does matter. This week, hear how Functional analysts Mia Donzello (from the DA’s Office) and Desmond Galvan (from the CA’s Office) make the tech sausage.
What’s a writ of habeaus corpus? How does precedent affect the law? What’s it like to argue in fromt of the Texas Supreme Court? Heck what’s an appeal? ACA Kevin McCary and ADA Lily Stroud answer all your appeals questions this week. Ok, most of them. Many of them. And listen in for discussions on cave diving, Stranger Things, attorneys in Hawaiian shirts. You thought we only talk about the law on this pod?
