A Lifeline in the Pandemic
In this episode, reporter Julia Cardi looks into why the COVID-19 pandemic is a touchpoint for mental health in the legal profession.
The COVID-19 pandemic has come with a whole set of potential triggers for mental health struggles and substance use: The upending of daily routines we took for granted. Financial distress. Absorbing the trauma of clients who have suffered economically.
The episode's first guest is Sarah Myers, executive director of the Colorado Lawyer Assistance Program. We also hear from a lawyer who returned to practicing law after coming back from an alcohol addiction and disbarment. Even though he's been sober for more than 15 years, his story might resonate with lawyers who have had mental health struggles triggered by the pandemic.

Suspended Justice
The need to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus has caused some chaos in Colorado’s courts. In mid-March, Chief Justice Nathan Coats ordered the suspension of most matters except emergency proceedings, like criminal trials coming up on constitutional deadlines. Just a few days later, he extended the stay on jury trials through May 15.
Some judicial districts have decided to restrict their operations even more, such as closing courts to the public for a few days and postponing all trials. Courts have had to scramble to find a balance between needing to restrict their functioning to protect public health and rights related to speedy trials and public access to proceedings. This month on HearSay, reporter Julia Cardi talks these implications over with Holland & Hart partner Chris Jackson.

Access Restricted
Public records are the property of the public. At least that's the spirit behind laws for access to government records. But Colorado's Open Records Act doesn't cover the judicial branch.
This month on HearSay, reporter Julia Cardi talks with a local advocate for open government about why the exemption means accessibility of judicial records in Colorado is far from black and white.
