The Flint drinking water contamination began in April 2014 and almost six years later, the plaintiffs have not seen one cent of financial compensation from the city, the state, or the private contractors that contributed to the dire situation. For over three years, Corey Stern has been representing more than 2500 children who were poisoned by Flint drinking water and he joins us to discuss his role in the case, what drives and centers him during such long and taxing work, and how he responds to society's changing attitudes towards lawyers on both sides of litigation.
