We are featuring my longtime friend Mack Jenkins, a public-minded lawyer and former US Attorney. As a prosecutor, Mack was responsible for some of the highest-profile and most consequential convictions in modern LA history, including those against multiple elected officials. Mack is now a partner at Hecker Fink, a leading law firm with a strong public interest bent and a staunch commitment to justice.

Tune in to this inspiring conversation to learn:

  • The crucial role that attorneys can play in shaping the public policy landscape
  • Why the criminal justice reform movement is not dead and just needs a different focus
  • Why public corruption is such a big problem in American politics, and how important it is to hold these individuals to account
  • How public-minded law firms like Hecker Fink are tapping into the new zeitgeist and attracting a whole generation of mission-driven attorneys
  • Why you should never try to get out of jury duty again

&

  • Much, much more

Stay tuned to the end to hear how Mack was inspired to a life of service by his father, a correctional officer in juvenile jails who went above and beyond the call of duty to be a mentor and force for good in the lives of young kids caught up in the law.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
