Case in Point: The Legal Show for Regular People

If the thought of a legal podcast seems like a snoozer, if you’re tired of listening to Washington lawyers tell you why the Supreme Court matters, if federal rules are a mystery, you’ve come to the right place. Host Sarah Parshall Perry is not your typical lawyer, she can break down complex legal topics so that lawyers and non-lawyers alike understand why they matter. The show is a funny, fast-paced, legal free for all that talks legal bloopers, dumb opinions, big overlords, and major cases—all in way that educates and entertains. Case in Point is the legal show you never knew you needed.

    The Case is Submitted

    The term is over, and what an ending it was! Presidents are entitled to broad immunity for official acts, Chevron deference is no more, the Seventh Amendment applies against the administrative state, nobody gets to sue over social media censorship, and the 8th Amendment does not prohibit anti-camping laws. These are the holdings of just a few of the blockbuster cases released in the last few days of this term. After your hosts discuss those cases, GianCarlo gets one last chance to stump Zack in trivia, and then they follow the Court into the summer recess. Over the summer, your hosts arrange interviews with judges, lawyers, and experts, so please let them know if there are any people you'd like them to interview or legal issues you'd like them to cover in depth next term. Follow us on X @scotus101 and @tzsmith. And please send questions, comments, or ideas for future episodes to scotus101@heritage.org. Don't forget to leave a 5-star rating. Stay caffeinated and opinionated with a SCOTUS 101 mug. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
