Perspectives S37/Ep1 How Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the legal profession
Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 25:02
Two years have passed since ChatGPT was launched, and while many industries are still getting used to the idea, the legal field is taking full advantage. Reviewing legal evidence to find a “smoking gun” can be a major time commitment for legal professionals. But with new AI products, lawyers, paralegals, and district attorneys are getting work done faster than ever before. On the show is Everlaw Chief Legal Officer, Gloria Lee. She says many of us have an image in our minds of legal teams in a backroom, with stacks of bankers’ boxes filled with documents in them – perhaps in a Suits episode, or the Pelican Brief – but today, legal teams are using generative AI to tame those mountains of digital data. In an era driven by AI and innovation, legal professionals are working alongside this technology, tapping it like a new Smart Intern, to help lay the groundwork for cases more efficiently.

Perspectives S36/Ep69 Restorative Justice and Lived Religion
Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 25:01
Amidst the political rhetoric of getting “tough on crime,” RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND LIVED RELIGION opens thoughtful discussions of a way to reduce crime by making communities safer and more supportive. Many of us associate “restorative justice” with international truth and reconciliation commissions spurred by human rights atrocities such as apartheid. In the US, it typically refers to small-scale efforts that divert alleged wrongdoers from the standard path of time behind bars. Studies of such initiatives affirm their value for reducing recidivism—by as much as 44 percent when compared with prison—and improving perceptions of fairness and satisfaction with the justice process among both offenders and victims. Yet, making our criminal punishment system feel “kinder and gentler” isn’t enough. In RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND LIVED RELIGION: Transforming Mass Incarceration in Chicago, Jason A. Springs, Professor of Religion, Ethics, and Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, shows how restorative justice has the potential to overcome the racism embedded in the American justice system’s culture of retribution and violence. To make the case for restorative justice’s transformative power, the author calls for a holistic approach to concrete, purposeful practices that foster moral and spiritual forms of association between people.
Perspectives S36/Ep68 How Language Changes under conditions of extreme oppression
Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 19:59
Tel Aviv University has written a moving and captivating book about the devastating power of words. OCCUPIED WORDS: What the Holocaust Did to Yiddish offers insights into the phenomenon of Khurbn Yiddish—the Yiddish of the Holocaust—and what it says about the role of language in genocide and survival.
Pollin-Galay explores how a new strain of Yiddish emerged out of the need among Jews to describe an unprecedented reality—the brutality, imprisonment, and dehumanization within the ghettos and death camps of Nazi occupation—that defied not only comprehension but also normal, prewar forms of conversation.
Pollin-Galay seeks to understand why people chose Yiddish lexicography as a means of witnessing the Holocaust. Ultimately, Occupied Words speaks to broader debates about cultural genocide, asking how we might rethink the concept of genocide through the framework of language.
Perspectives S36/Ep67 Diabetes awareness and Self-Care for men
Tuesday, January 7, 2025 • Duration 23:55
Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and is linked to some types of cancer. Preventing diabetes and taking charge of your health as soon as possible after diagnosis may help you prevent these health problems. This can include building healthy lifestyle habits, taking medicines on time, managing your stress, and working with your health care team to get the personal care you need. In honor of National Diabetes Month this November, we talk with Dr. Griffin Rodgers to raise awareness about the impacts of diabetes. Next a conversation with Jor-El Caraballo about self-care for men. His Self-Care for Black Men became a popular guidebook with features in Men’s Health, Prevention, Self and more. Leaning into that success, Caraballo’s guided audio meditation program MEDITATIONS FOR BLACK MEN is filled with unique insights and tools for Black men everywhere to prioritize mental health, empowering listeners to create a deeper connection with their mind, body, and spirit over the course of ten guided meditations. For Black men, self-care too often feels like a luxury. But being in touch with your emotions, deepening sensory awareness, and taking time to quiet the busy mind are essential tools for a healthy lifestyle. Mindfulness can be a pathway to emotional and psychological freedom. Over the course of ten guided meditations, this audio program covers topics such as redefining Black masculinity, connecting with your ancestors, and creating sacred space, as well as physical practices such as breath work and a walking meditation. The program closes with affirmations: short, positive messages to further instill self-confidence and emotional well-being.
