AV-6724 Dejámelo pensar. Capítulo: Abogados ¿de qué lado estás?

In this episode, Boy Olmi and Sandra Russo invite viewers to reflect on lawyers and, more broadly, on the administration of justice. Following a segment prepared by contributor Facundo García, showcasing the most famous lawyers in Hollywood films, and his column presenting surveys and statistics on lawyers and public perception of their image, the hosts introduce a report featuring the opinions of various celebrities. They then introduce their guest: lawyer Roberto Gargarella, who reflects on how power and money distort the practice of good law, which should be ensuring that every defendant enjoys constitutional guarantees. He also addresses the problem posed by differing interpretations of codes and laws. In his column, historian Sergio Wischñevsky discusses Roman law and its derivations: Anglo-Saxon and civil law, and the inequality in access to justice based on wealth, a constant throughout history. In turn, philosopher Roxana Kreimer questions the ideas of guilt, punishment, and truth—pillars of the judicial system—since they often fail to resolve the problem, and proposes considering an alternative system that fosters agreement between the parties. Then, using an excerpt from "Inherit the Wind" (Stanley Kramer, 1960), Gargarella reflects on the role of emotions in administering justice and explains that lawyers rarely discuss the implications of depriving someone of their liberty.
