From 2017, Steve Kroft’s profile of a man who discovered he had a brilliant mind for the law while he was serving time in prison for armed bank robbery. From 2022, Anderson Cooper’s report on the organization helping prisoners in Africa become lawyers and paralegals. Also from 2017, Cooper’s conversations with New Orleans Public Defenders who claimed that innocent clients went to jail because they lacked the time and resources to defend them properly. And from 2023, Lesley Stahl’s story on litigation funding, a multibillion-dollar industry for investments in lawsuits with little oversight.
