    Arthur Bryant is a public interest lawyer based in Oakland, California, and the former chairman and executive director of Public Justice. He now runs his own firm, focusing on cases that aim to advance civil rights, consumer protection, workers’ rights, and equal access to justice. He has practiced law since 1979 and has spent more than three decades in nonprofit public interest work. Early in his career, he clerked for federal judge Gabrielle McDonald in Texas and later handled First Amendment cases for newspapers and magazines in Philadelphia. Over the years, he has led major Title IX cases across the country and has built a reputation for taking on large institutions on behalf of people who have been treated unfairly. In this episode, he talks about why he chose public interest law at a young age and why he believes lawyers should fight for what they believe in. He also discusses the current state of the Supreme Court, the fairness of the legal system, and his long history of Title IX litigation, including a recent case involving women’s sports at Stephen F. Austin University. Tune in to hear how one lawyer built a career around trying to make real change.

    Feb 11 2026

    Send a text

    This episode features Ursula Jones Dickson, the current District Attorney of Alameda County, and Emilie Raguso, a journalist who runs The Berkeley Scanner, an independent public safety news outlet covering Berkeley and the DA’s office. Both work closely with the criminal justice system from different sides, one inside government and one reporting on it. Ursula talks about leading a large District Attorney’s office after a period of instability, rebuilding staff, fixing budget problems, and clearing a major case backlog. Emilie shares her experience covering crime, courts, and prosecutors over many years, including how public attention on the DA’s office changed after a high-profile recall. Together, they reflect on how policy shifts, staffing changes, and public trust affect how justice is delivered day to day. The conversation covers how the DA’s office works in practice, victims’ rights in California, gun and violence related charging decisions, and the challenges of running a major public office under public and political pressure. Emilie also discusses the role of journalists in verifying claims, slowing down reporting, and explaining complex legal systems to the public. Tune in to hear an inside look at how a major prosecutor’s office is rebuilt, how journalists track accountability in real time, and what both sides see as the biggest challenges facing criminal justice right now. Plus, they offer a practical view of how law, media, and public trust intersect when decisions affect an entire community.
