Retired Judge LaDoris Cordell was in last year's news a lot in the SF Bay Area due to a high-profile investigation she conducted. The situation was complicated—Sheriff Corpus, accused of misconduct, was the first Latina and first woman in her job. But Judge Cordell, having been in a similar "first" position earlier in her career, was the right woman for the job. LaDoris's strong sense of legal fairness, honed during years of being a groundbreaking lawyer and judge in the Bay Area, and also her broad experience in the law gave her the perspective and skills to do an investigation that a fractious population would trust.
Join us in a wide-ranging conversation, from a segregated childhood, an unusual education, and an unlikely acceptance to Stanford Law School, to retired judge, community activist, musician, artist, and grandmother.

About The Babblery:The Babblery features conversations about who we are and how we got this way. Modern humans can seem like the ancients building the Biblical Tower of Babel, cursed by God/nature never to understand each other. As Visiting Translators at the Tower of Babble, our guests delve into their work, their research, and their own experiences to try to explain the bits they’ve learned about Earth’s most perplexing species. Though we all speak different languages, here at The Babblery we aim to promote understanding, one conversation at a time. Visit The Babblery at https://babblery.com/. The Babblery is produced by Suki Wessling with support from KSQD.
