Why I became President – The important role of trial lawyers in advocating for justice and equality
Evan Goldberg discusses Why I became President – The important role of trial lawyers in advocating for justice and equality with “City & State TV.”
Speaker 1: So why did you become a lawyer? Well,
Speaker 2: Well, as a third generation lawyer, my grandfather was a lawyer in the great depression and my father was a Supreme court justice in New York state, many assumed I would just be steered towards the law because of my family, but it was really more that I developed a love of the law. When I was a teenager, I would watch movies such as “To kill a Mockingbird.” And I would observe the history of leaders who fought for justice and societal equality. And I saw. I saw early on, the important role of the trial lawyer in advocating for justice and equality among all. And it’s something that I chose to dedicate my life towards and I’ve never looked back. And, you know, my father approved of course.
Speaker 1: And why did you assume the presidency of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association?
Speaker 2: Well, as I said, our mission is to promote a safer and healthier society. It’s something I deeply believe in. Lawyers have had a very important role over the years in making sure that negligent conduct is addressed and corrected. Many of the safety initiatives that we take for granted are there because lawyers stood up for the little guy and lawyers made a difference, and that’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. When I’m in the courtroom, when I’m fighting for a client’s case, it’s a microcosm of America to me, where all thoughtful discourse is entertained, the truth is sought and justice is done.
Speaker 1: Great. Thanks for coming in today.
