When you encounter a lawyer committed to advocating for the underprivileged with unwavering determination, you know you've found someone truly exceptional.Rex Elliott embodies that dedication. His life's mission revolves around assisting those deprived of opportunities, relentlessly pursuing cases others shy away from — and that resolve has defined his remarkable success.In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Rex joins Michael to explore: Strategies for harnessing media attention in high-profile cases The profound lessons gleaned from setbacks rather than triumphs The transformative potential of attorneys to effect positive change in society ----Show Notes:07:20 – Take a new perspective: I’ve learned many lessons over the years thanks to the things that have happened to me, both good and bad. During the low moments, I've tried to see through that particular problem and figure out why it was that that was happening to me at the time. If you're not listening and observing those kinds of things, you'll miss them.09:56 – A game changing case: Willie Gladdens was on death row for killing his white girlfriend’s former white ex-boyfriend out of self-defense. At the time, I was at a big firm, and our job was to get him off of death row — and we did that. He even managed to get out of prison and live a productive life later on. That’s when I felt for the first time that my license to practice law was being used in the way that God intended me to use it. I was helping another person who needed it the most.14:44 – Leverage the media: The media can be a powerful partner with you in terms of getting your message out. I’ve always used the media as a member of our team, and if you’re good to them and never misstate things to them, they will be powerful partners for you. 19:02 – Putting an end to hazing: There are 18- to 22-year-old kids living within a system that was created for them by adults. We need to focus on the national organizations and the universities to put a stop to this. We have had a hazing death on a college campus in this country every single year since 1959, and it's become my mission to do everything I can to end hazing altogether.23:25 – ​​Canceling the Greek system’s pledge programs: They're antiquated, they're archaic, and there's absolutely no purpose for a pledge program anymore. That's where all these deaths and injuries are occurring because there's an imbalance of power. I think we need to eliminate pledge programs in general. One more death on a college campus in this country is too much.----Links & Resources Denison University Syracuse University Sullivan & Cromwell National Football League Willie Gladdens Donovan Lewis Ben Crump Stone Foltz Collin Wiant Bowling Green University Entrepreneurs’ Organization  ----Listening to this episode but want to watch it?
