Granite Justice Podcast
Far too often, people don’t know that when they are facing a problem – like a landlord who won’t give back a security deposit, or a denial of a program like food stamps – that they have legal rights, and there are ways to advocate for those rights in the civil legal system. Granite Justice: conversations about the civil legal system with Shane Cooper, an Associate Dean at UNH Franklin Pierce, aims to provide a road map of sorts. By the end of an episode, we hope more people will recognize and understand that if they are facing a civil legal problem, you can ask yourself ”Do I have any rights here?” and “What do I do now?” This podcast will help you navigate some of those questions.
