On this week’s episode of The Legal Lens podcast, I have the honor of sitting down with Attorney Elizabeth Paige White, a Washington, D.C.–based criminal defense and #civilrightslawyer whose work spans public defense, high‑impact civil‑rights litigation, and #masstort cases affecting everyday people.
Paige’s path was shaped early by parents rooted in service (her mother a university president at an HBCU and her father a Navy surgeon) and by a strong belief that the #law should be used to help those who are too often pushed to the margins 💡
In our conversation, Paige shares about her shift in law school from wanting to be “the prosecutor who wears the white hat” to recognizing the deep flaws in the criminal #legalsystem and choosing public defense instead.
We also talk about her work on #hairrelaxer mass‑tort litigation and why fighting for #Blackwomen’s health, safety, and dignity in these cases is a critical part of what she calls “movement lawyering.”
