My law partner, John Gonzales (“Gonzo”), and I (Jack D’Aurora) have been producing a podcast for about two years. We’ve changed our image—our marketing folks call this “rebranding”— from “Lawyer Up Columbus” to “JUSTUS with Jack & Gonzo” to better reflect what our show is all about—social justice.
We talk with our guests about subjects that don’t get enough attention, like our failed bail system, racial divide, gun violence from a pediatric surgeon’s point of view—you get the idea. We don’t profess to have all the answers, but we’re lawyers, and we know how to ask questions—without taking ourselves too seriously.
We engage in conversation with our guests without knowing where the conversation will take us. Being informative and entertaining is the goal.
Look for “JUSTUS with Jack & Gonzo” on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Or visit our website.
In our most recent podcast, we talked with law professor Kris Henning about Black youths being subjected to suspicion and arrest for the most ordinary adolescent activities—shopping for prom clothes, playing in the park, listening to music, wearing the latest fashion trend. While research shows Black youths are no more dangerous or impulsive than their white counterparts, there’s a tremendous difference in how Black youths are treated by school officials, the police and the criminal justice system. Listen to the conversation.
