Judge JaPaul J. Harris

Aug 27, 2021

Now we are going back into the places we were told to stay away from for our safety. In this article, I will discuss the challenges we face as we return to the courtroom and the steps attorneys can take as we move to in-person court appearances.

It’s an endless and toxic cycle.
