If you ask Carissa to be a legal analyst off the air, she will tell you, that analysis extends beyond the justice system we follow --- laws evolve as humanity becomes more enlightened and evolved.Â
Â
"There are Universal Laws and Laws of Man... until the laws of man are consistent with the laws of the Universe, there will not be justice and peace."
Â
As a former professional ballet dancer, Carissa understands work ethic, dedication, commitment and balance. Â
Â
"Law is an art, just like ballet -- it keeps me on my toes; it requires great skill and artistry to tip the scales of justice. I'm always seeking to strike the right balance -- in life."
