Legal Grounds | Tim Dollar
Manage episode 275559557 series 2775981
Seinfeld has a great bit & an even better episode about making friends in your thirties. The joke hinges on the fact that you don’t. Or as Seinfeld puts it: “Sorry, we’re not interviewing anyone for a new position at this time.”
And while there is a truth to it – obviously, or the joke wouldn’t work – I’ve been lucky enough to continue to make true friends throughout my legal career.
Tim Dollar is one of those friends.
One of the most seasoned trial attorneys I’ve had the pleasure of working with (and having my a** handed to me), Tim began his career long before he entered law school as a member of his high school, then college, debate teams.
While advocating for Plaintiffs in trying some of the largest, most difficult cases in the country, Tim still dedicates himself to public service. For 34 years he has been a D.A. for the Jackson County Prosecutors Office.
Tim & I discuss the importance of narrative, the “power of the pause”, and why sometimes it’s best to work backwards.
Also, for those of you who enjoy legal dramas, the two cases we discuss at length are as interesting as they are heartbreaking.
I always enjoy sitting down with Tim, even if it’s after trial.
I hope you do to.
Enjoy the show!
