The Check-In: Law & Order

KBIA

So there’s a phrase we’ve heard a lot from politicians recently, especially at last week’s Republican National Convention: Law and Order. The concept is shaping up to be a key focus in the election season we’ve now officially entered.

 

On the Check-In today we’re talking with Missourians about Law and Order that works for us all. 

 

And spoiler-alert - keeping our citizens safe and keeping the Order might not be a clear choice - it’s possible we can have both. We’ll explore Law and Order not just as a political issue, but also as a human one … that cuts to the heart of our founding values as Americans.

 

Also - when you think of Theater-that-tackles-Social Justice you may not immediately think: Shakespeare - But you might  change your mind after our conversation here on the Check-In.

 

Our Guests:

 

Luz Maria Henriquez, Executive Director of the ACLU of Missouri.

 

David Tyson Smith, Attorney, Smith & Parnell LLC

 

David Mitchell, University of Missouri Law Professor

 

Adam Flores, St. Louis Shakespeare Festival

 

 

To hear the live show, tune in weekdays at noon. Also, you can leave us a voicemail at 877-532-0971 about how you are handling the isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.
