Shima Baughman is a Professor of Law at BYU and a nationally recognized scholar and criminal justice reform advocate. She’s known for her groundbreaking work on bail reform, prosecutorial ethics, and the powerful intersection of faith and justice.

In this powerful episode, Corrine and Shima talk about immigration, identity, and the deep cost of faith. Shima shares how her family sacrificed everything to seek religious freedom in the US and how those early experiences shaped her lens on justice, gratitude, and mercy.

Now teaching law and religion at BYU, Shima opens up about what she’s learned through years of studying the US criminal justice system and how faith and compassion can lead to true reform and healing. She and Corrine also explore difficult questions about forgiveness, grief, and justice, especially in the face of personal tragedy. They talk about the surprising power of simply showing up for others in courtrooms and communities and how love can do what data alone never could.

Shima also shares her journey of returning to the temple after divorce, the prompting to share her testimony on social media, and why she believes Jesus Christ is still the answer, even in the courtroom.
