#SeeYouInCourt #CivilJustice #RuleOfLaw

In this compelling episode of See You In Court, hosts Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate sit down with veteran Georgia trial lawyer and mediator Nick Moraitakis to discuss one of the most sobering chapters in Atlanta’s legal history. From an unwritten drug arrest quota to a tragic police raid that ended in the death of an innocent woman, Nick walks us through how civil litigation uncovered planted evidence, false affidavits, and systemic misconduct.

Nick’s career spans decades in Georgia courtrooms. After beginning as a defense lawyer representing corporations and insurance companies, he transitioned to representing individuals and families harmed by negligence, medical malpractice, trucking accidents, product liability, and other wrongful acts. He has tried dozens of cases to verdict, served in the Georgia General Assembly, and now devotes his practice fully to mediation. His perspective is grounded in experience on both sides of the courtroom.

In this conversation, we explore: • The real-world consequences of unchecked power • How civil lawsuits expose facts that might otherwise remain hidden • The role of courageous lawyers in protecting constitutional rights • Why the civil justice system remains essential to accountability

Nick’s Awards:

-American College of Trial Lawyers, Fellow

-American Board of Trial Advocates, Advocate

-Best Lawyers in America®, Listed (2007 – present)

-Tradition of Excellence Award, General Practice and Trial Section, State Bar

of Georgia)

-State Bar Chair of Advisory Committee on Legislation 

This episode is a powerful reminder that civil justice is not abstract. It is personal. It is practical. And at times, it is the only path to the truth.

In this clip, Craig T. Jones explains why appellate courts often classify educator decisions as discretionary, shielding individuals from liability even when written safety policies are not enforced. This conversation highlights one of the most controversial aspects of governmental immunity in Georgia and why it matters for students and families.

Using a real prison death investigation, Craig shows how a lack of transparency can leave families without answers until a civil lawsuit forces the truth into the open. Once the facts were revealed, it became clear that the case was tragic, but not a lawsuit. That outcome highlights the true purpose of the civil justice system: uncovering the truth, not generating claims.

This moment reflects the broader theme of the episode, why access to court is essential, why government liability law matters, and how civil cases protect transparency and the rule of law when power is used to conceal it.

David Windecher shares the rest of Nicole’s story. The woman who helped him believe he could belong in the world went on to retire as a commissioner in the same police department that arrested him 10 out of 13 times.

Sometimes justice is not about punishment. It is about transformation.

In this clip, David shares how one conversation, one challenge, and one person willing to invest in him changed the trajectory of his life. Her promise was simple and powerful: step away from the gang life, and she would help him earn his GED, get into college, and pursue law school.

She followed through. And that belief became the turning point.

This is a reminder that rehabilitation often starts with someone choosing to see potential instead of a record.

#SeeYouInCourt #CivilJustice #RuleOfLaw #DavidWindecher #RehabilitationEnablesDreams

In his autobiography The American Dream / HiSstory in the Making, David shares the harsh realities of growing up as an impoverished immigrant on the streets of Miami-Dade County. He was arrested 13 times and spent over 7 months incarcerated as a juvenile. He dropped out of high school and joined a gang for protection. His street name was Red. David endured the brutal climate of the lawlessness on the streets by both criminals and the police. All the while he dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for those who don’t have the resources to pay for justice.

David began his path to self-rehabilitation when he earned his GED in March of 1998 and took his first academic steps toward his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from American Intercontinental University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2005 and earned his Juris Doctorate degree from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia in 2012. David was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 2012 and the Florida Bar in 2014. David is a member of the Georgia and Florida Court of Appeals, the Georgia and Florida Supreme Court, the Northern District of Georgia United States District Court and the American Bar Association. David specializes in criminal defense, juvenile law, and expungement procedures. In 2022 the National Football League awarded him with the Inspire Change Changemaker Award.

Professor Vladeck breaks down the legal and institutional consequences if the federal government stops following court orders, including the collapse of criminal prosecutions, civil enforcement, and basic constitutional protections. He also draws a direct line between recent violations of lower court rulings—such as the deportations under the Alien Enemies Act—and the dangers ahead.

While he cautions against overstating the risk, Vladeck reminds us: fidelity to the rule of law must be a red line for voters, Congress, and every American.

When the current administration issued executive orders revoking security clearances for firms that represented political opponents, some firms chose to fight back — filing lawsuits and securing restraining orders. Others, however, capitulated, offering pro bono work to avoid conflict.

Professor Vladeck explains why these executive actions are unconstitutional under the First Amendment—and why settling sends the wrong message. The conversation highlights a growing divide between firms standing firm and those bending to political pressure.

This is a critical moment for the future of the rule of law — and for the integrity of the legal profession itself.

#DueProcess #AlienEnemiesAct #StephenVladeck #SeeYouInCourtPodcast #ShadowDocket #RuleOfLaw

#CivilJustice

🎙️ Clip Transcript – Professor Stephen Vladeck on Due Process and the Alien Enemies Act:

"What I find so absolutely fundamental and disturbing about the Venezuelan cases—and this is the assertion of power under the so-called Alien Enemy Act of 1798—is that there is a presumption of due process in this country. That’s something that should not be partisan. We should all be able to abide by it.

So when Stephen Miller, President Trump’s top immigration advisor, is tweeting that illegal immigrants don’t have due process rights—first of all, that’s not true. Even undocumented immigrants have due process rights.

But more importantly—how the hell are you going to prove someone is undocumented?

What is to stop the government from arresting me and saying, “Oh, he doesn’t have any due process rights because he’s a Venezuelan gang member”?

If I had a second in court, I could disprove that. But without due process, I can’t.

So whatever you think of the president and his policies—whatever you think about immigration—the idea that we don’t have judicial review in this country, that courts aren’t supposed to make sure we’re applying these laws to the right people…

Of all the things that have happened in the last few months, that boggles my mind the most.

Because even if you believe in tough laws, you’ve got to make sure they’re applied to the right people.

That should not be an issue on which there are two sides."
