U.S. Senator Ben Cardin joins Legal Services Corporation (LSC) President Ron Flagg to discuss his perspective on access to justice as a legislator and lawyer on the latest episode of LSC’s “Talk Justice” podcast, released June 26.
Before he was Maryland’s senior U.S. senator, Cardin was elected to the state’s general assembly between his third and fourth year of law school.
“[Studying law] really did show me that as a legislator I could help do what lawyers are responsible [for doing] and that is to strengthen our legal system, to protect the rule of law, to provide opportunities—that’s what lawyers are about,” says Sen. Cardin.
“We want the system of equal justice under the law, and legislators can do a lot to make that a reality.”
Talk Justice episodes are available online and on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple and other popular podcast apps. The podcast is sponsored by LSC’s Leaders Council.
The next episode of the podcast will feature a conversation about the current state of remote court and if virtual court options should be expanded.
