CALIFORNIA SUN: How James Brosnahan Shaped the State's Legal Landscape

BAY MADE is proud to share four recent episodes this week from Jeff Schechtman and our friends at CALIFORNIA SUN.

This episode: Host Jeff Schechtman sits down with James Brosnahan, one of California’s most distinguished litigators, whose career has spanned the Robert Kennedy Justice Department, 55 years in private practice in California, and more than 150 jury trials. His cases have mirrored the issues of our times, tackling challenges like refugees, gender battles, sexual taboos, terrorism, government misconduct, wrongful imprisonment, free speech, legal work in war zones, poverty and murder on Native American Reservations, and hunger in America. He shares his story with us and in his memoir, “Justice at Trial: Courtroom Battles and Groundbreaking Cases.”
