To close out the show’s “Rule of Law” series, Tommy speaks with Chief Circuit Judge William H. Pryor, Jr., discussing constitutionalism, judicial independence, and how courts are functioning in today’s polarized climate.

This week, Tommy speaks with U.W. Clemon, an Alabama attorney, civil rights pioneer, and former federal judge. Drawing on decades of experience and a history-spanning career, Clemon shares his perspective on why constitutional principles still matter, civic responsibility, and the lessons history offers in today’s political climate.

About U.W. Clemon:

Born in Fairfield, Alabama, he became one of the first black lawyers admitted to the Alabama bar and one of the first African Americans elected to the Alabama Senate since Reconstruction. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed him as Alabama’s first black federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, where he served for nearly 30 years, including as Chief Judge. Throughout his career, Clemon has been a leader in civil rights law and public service, and today continues to practice law in Birmingham.
