Look around. Change is happening. People you know and people you pass on the street are in transition. They are transforming their lives. Unless you stop to hear their story, you may miss it.Each year new and former Soros Justice Fellows gather for four days of discussions, workshops, plenaries, breakout sessions, and meals to debate and discuss issues facing the US criminal justice system.

On the last night of this year's gathering in Detroit, seven Fellows took to the stage to share personal stories of transition and transformation.  Life of the Law selected three of the seven stories presented that night for this week's Feature Episode. You can listen to all seven stories by clicking on the individual photos below.Production Notes:
