Legal Grounds | Bullying & The Law

One of the things I’ve always tried to do on this program is present a variety of viewpoints. 

 Even when a guest and I have a phenomenal conversation, that doesn’t always mean I agree with everything they’ve said. 

But I never believe anything is lost by their opinions being in the world, and in the end, it’s up to you, the listener, to glean what whatever it is you want to take away.

Now, I think it goes without saying that if I were to ever tell a guest something was stupid, or they were flat out wrong, not only would it be awkward, but it would also be considered by pretty much everyone to be a form of bullying. 

Sadly, this kind of behavior has become more and more prevalent in our culture, and while I think there are a multitude of reasons for this, in this week’s episode, my guests and I discuss the very specific intersection of bullying and the law. 

I sat down with Amy Stewart of the Steward Law Group, James Dolan, a practicing psychotherapist and life coach with 40 years of experience, and our moderator, Scott Stolley, a solo appellate attorney and current member of the Texas Supreme Court Advisory Committee.

We take a deep dive into four main areas: bullying by opposing counsel, bullying by clients, bullying by colleagues, and finally, bullying by the judiciary. 

And while this is a very legal-specific podcast, I think a lot of the strategies and lessons to be learned for anyone.

Enjoy the show!
