I believe that NOTHING IN THE LAW MAKES SENSE EXCEPT IN LIGHT OF EMPATHY. This is especially true when it comes to sentencing. A lawyer’s ability to understand and connect with a client is essential to their practice.
But it’s not an easy concept to understand, it's not always easy to put into practice, and it’s even harder to get decision-makers to feel empathy for those that have done something wrong.
This episode is "one from the vault," but it was too good and too important not to share. I recorded this literally six years ago, when the podcast was still a million miles away from becoming reality. Audio's a little rough, but hopefully you'll be ok.
Dr. Elizabeth Segal is a Ph.D., a social worker, and a professor at Arizona State University. She is the author of the book "Social Empathy", released in 2018. I was so grateful to be able to spend some time with Dr. Segal to talk all about empathy - what it is, why it matters, and what it can mean to clients who navigate our dehumanizing legal system.
