Beyond The Judgement

Eva Eapen and Pari Sidana

While national courts often dominate headlines, many everyday decisions that shape our communities are made by state judges. Beyond The Judgement dives deep into the lives and perspectives of judges and justices from local courts across the country. Through interviews, we uncover the stories, values, and challenges of those who are making important decisions. Join us as we move past the headlines to understand who is truly beyond the judgement.
