Meeting Minutes 11.27.12

8:30 - Dr. Brown 

• present interview
• if you liked this interview, there are more like it on YouTube

9:05 - Discussion led by Dr. Brown

• Dr. Brown's notes:
• "the only truth in life is that there is no truth"
• if that's the only truth there is, then there is a truth
• his whole life is wrapped around manipulating facts to get belief
• lawyers must convine 12 people, judge, and prosecutors of their side (people)
• he looks at it as power games and fear
• Dr. Brown has been on 2 juries
• the feeling of fear that he described in film (having government throw it's full force of prosecution system against him)
• doesn't say if he was guilty or not
• justice just amounts to victory in a trial
• system pits people against people
• not an ideal system of justice
• "there is no absolute justice"
• people do not come to him for justice
• does not give advice about justice system
• he can't draw the distinction between good and bad anymore
• Other peoples' lives may depend on your decisions
• lawyer looks at life as struggle and fear rules
• documentary from last year: pilot took seriously how his decision affected other lives as an obligation to other people
• Jury duty:
• people who don't want to be there end up populating jury box
• anyone can serve on a jury - very few restrictions
• HSB students' thoughts
• Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" vs. "Chicago" Lawyer
• Lawyer didn't aspire to any more than theatrics to win a trial
• more like "Chicago" Lawyer
• Can you draw the line between good and bad?
• How much life do you have to face to where you can't draw that line anymore
• If you can't draw the line between good and bad, where are you going to be once you reach his stage of life?
• if you can't, you're not going to be pilot, you're going to be lawyer (see below)
• Some people have really sharp distinctions, but they are warped
• It's a good idea to face head on situations where this power game is in play
• lives are at stake
• when involved in a court case, other people making decisions around you don't make good decisions
• This is a point in life where your values are getting shaped
• Would you want him as your lawyer?
• perform the act without concern for client
• Is this the way the court system ought to be?
• How can we change the system?
• One way the system won't be changed: accepting it.
• this lawyer isn't doing anything to change the system
• basic intelligence test for people on the jury?
• always new generations coming through jury duty
• many people are jaded like lawyer in interview
• Freeway analogy
• Who's setting the example around us?
• parents? peers?
• when looking for perfection, you will always be disappointed
• look into ourselves - introspection
• be the example for others
• in order to do this, you must look to yourself
• Who do you want to be?
