In the 80s and 90s legal dramas ruled TV viewing in my household. Liability law and litigation seemed to be where the action was at least in that genre.
What is the state of play today when it comes to being a successful lawyer?
Meet Jamie E. Wright one of the most highly sought-after millennial lawyers and crisis communicators based in Los Angeles, CA.

She is an attorney and principal in the J. Wright Law Group,
P.C. Wright, who is licensed to practice law in the State of
California, and graduated from the University of California,

Directors for the Inglewood Airport Area Chamber of Commerce. She

growers in South Los Angeles.
We hear from Jamie on:
- The most common type of liability lawsuitin which you stand to lose assets is one resulting from an accident, according to one article I came across. Clearly, your work is more than the art of “ambulance chasing” – explain what you do in a typical day.
- Quite simply, liability means legal responsibility for one's actions. Failure to meet this responsibility leaves a person open to a liability lawsuit for any resulting damages. In order to win a lawsuit, the claimant must prove that the accused party is liable. What role does the lens of liability law play in any successful legal practice in the USA and perhaps the world?
- What are some of the biggest challenges in this area of law today in 2022?
- What aptitudes make a great lawyer, especially in the liability practice arena?
- Medicinal cannabis is very mainstream these days but not always. How has that area of law evolved as society has become more accepting of its benefits for chronic pain sufferers, and what are the challenges you face?
- Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Liability Law?
