Do the Right Thing

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 15, 2014

Letitia James talks about her first 100 days as public advocate. Plus: an investigation into potential abuses of justice in 50 cases in Brooklyn; why the “do as I say, not what I do” approach isn’t the best way to teach kids good morals; and “do we need to be touching right now?!” and other NYC etiquette questions answered.

Jami Floyd is in for Brian Lehrer today. Floyd is a legal contributor to Al Jazeera and an attorney.
