David Flowers - Author, Teacher of Attorneys (#98)

Today’s guest is a former attorney who spent his career representing victims of sexual abuse in civil litigation. David Flowers wrote Taming the Lion Tamers about the South Carolina case of convicted pedophile Eddie Fischer, and the people who protected him for decades. It’s a powerful story, and is the same case on which the Emmy-nominated documentary film What Haunts Us is based. David fought for victims for decades, using story to their advantage. Now he teaches upcoming attorneys about the power of story. “I’m not a fan of lawyers generally. But when the practice of law is done right, you really can change lives.” - David Flowers on storytelling for law
