Judge Bert Richardson hated law school.
I know because we hated it together.
His life of public service began before we even graduated, interning at the DA’s office our last year at St. Mary’s.
Since then he has gone on to serve as an Assistant District Attorney & Assistant U.S. Attorney. He was then appointed be a Judge on the 379th District Court before being elected to the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals in 2014
Bert & I discuss what being raised in a life of service looks like, along with a smattering of law school antics...
But the meat of the conversation revolves around Bert’s decades of experience in criminal law & the cases he tried.
From the moral implications of arguing a death penalty case, to the absolute necessity to pursue Actual Innocence, the thoughtfulness of Bert’s views is something I’ve always admired.
Enjoy the show.
