Ursula Jones Dickson is the District Attorney of Alameda County. Before this role, she served as a Deputy District Attorney for 14 years, handling a wide range of criminal cases, and later served as a Superior Court judge overseeing the Juvenile Dependency Division. She was appointed to the bench in 2013 and returned to the DA's office when the Alameda County Board of Supervisors selected her as District Attorney. Her career path includes work in teaching, insurance claims, and even sports and entertainment consulting before pursuing law full time. In the episode, she talks about the transition from judge to prosecutor, the balance between advocacy and impartiality, and the challenges of leading a prosecutor’s office. She also discusses the importance of victim advocacy, the shifting legal landscape, and the responsibility attorneys have to serve their communities. Tune in to hear her perspective on public safety, the evolving role of women in law, and the advice she offers to young attorneys who want to enter the field.
