With Anna out on vacation we brought in a sub host to take her place again. This time we were lucky to have a local attorney who is also a substitute judge "sub" in for Anna. Tamika Jones handles a mix of criminal and family law and even some civil cases. She has her own law practice here in Northern Virginia. Today we got to talk to her about what it is like to be a substitute judge and practice law. This was a great discussion and can provide some insight for anyone interested in wanting to try to become a substitute judge.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
