On the first part of this special two-part episode of the Jersey Justice Podcast, attorneys Gerald Clark and Mark Morris sit down with retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge and New York Times bestselling author Nelson C. Johnson for an inside look at power, politics, and the enduring human element of the law.
Judge Johnson author of Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City, which inspired the Emmy Award winning HBO series reflects on his journey from sweeping floors in his family’s hardware store to over three decades in private practice and his years on the bench presiding over major jury trials. He shares stories from writing Boardwalk Empire, the legendary political war between Arthur Vanderbilt and Frank Hague, and the foundational lessons passed down by his early legal mentors.
From the sacred trust between attorney and client to the limits of AI in the courtroom, cross-examining live witnesses, and why litigators must always stay grounded, this conversation cuts through the noise to examine what it truly takes to fight for Justice and maintain integrity in the legal profession.
