Go Do Your Civic Duty: A Former Judge's Hottest Take ft. Brian Amero
Judges can do more than rule on the cases in front of them, and Brian Amero spent nearly two decades on the bench proving it. From drug courts to a child support program that spread across Georgia, he looked for ways to make the system more humane and more effective. In this episode of Between the Briefs by Steno, Adrian Cea and Joe Stephens sit down with Brian Amero, a former Chief Superior Court Judge in Georgia and Litigation Counsel at Bennett International Group, to talk about moving from prosecutor to judge, why people with severe mental illness spend so long in jail, how the civil and criminal systems can work together, and what it would take to get more people invested in fixing it. Brian also shares his hottest take on jury service.
