Jordan Peterson The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast · Feb 2022 Why people recommend it
The Respondent by Greg Ellis is a hard-hitting expose and critique of the family law system, detailing the author's harrowing personal journey through bitter divorce proceedings and child custody battles. On Timcast IRL, Melanie Notkin recommended the book ahead of its Father's Day release, describing it as an account of her friend's hellish experience with family courts. The book received a deeper, more extensive examination on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, where host Jordan Peterson welcomed Greg Ellis to discuss the legal system as a cartel lacking the fundamental presumption of innocence. Peterson characterized the publication as a vital call to action aimed at reforming a deeply flawed branch of the legal framework. Throughout the conversation, Peterson referenced specific sections of the book that chronicled encounters with arbitrary authority, systemic corruption, and the arduous process of rebuilding one's personal reputation after facing institutional defamation. By exploring the narrative arc of the book—moving from legal purgatory toward advocacy—the podcast illuminated the broader societal failures confronting men and fathers within contemporary divorce courts. The discussions served to amplify the author's urgent message regarding the pressing need for systemic legal reform and empathy for parents caught in bureaucratic crossfire.
