    Final Episode: Farewell

    In the final episode of Black Law and Legal Lies, we'd like to thank everyone who has allowed us to be a part of their lives over the years and for being a part of ours.  Ann, Becky, and Dan discuss what happens to all of your assets if you become incarcerated for a lengthy period, especially if you don't have anyone to maintain your mortgage/lease, property, taxes, bills, etc.  We also discuss our experiences with corporal punishment (read "abuse"), its origins, and its effectiveness. Lastly, Ann breaks down the Rittenhouse verdict and how judge Bruce Schroeder purposely crippled the prosecution. All 4+ years of our content will remain available on podcast platforms for the foreseeable future and on YouTube.  Our social media accounts will also remain active.

    PPPayback

    This week on the return of Black Law and Legal Lies, Ann and Dan talk about PPP loan forgiveness. We also talk about how a large number of people still aren't taking COVID seriously, especially with the prevalence of the Delta variant. Unfortunately, this episode was cut short due to technical difficulties. The law clinic Ann remotely recorded at had the type of WiFi you'd expect at a law clinic that Ann would remotely record at. In this episode, Ann also refused to discuss is how rich you have to be to take a 6-week vacation.  Keep up with us on social media!   Twitter: @BlackLawPodcast IG: @BlackLawPodcast Facebook: @BlackLawPodcast On the web: www.BlackLawPodcast.com Dan Twitter: @iAmDanOnDrugs IG: @iAmDanOnDrugs Ann Twitter: @iTellLegalLies

    CCAs

    Ann finally saw What the Health on Netflix after about 30 years. We discuss Commonsense Consumption Acts (CCAs) and how they essentially protect food makers from product liability. These laws are said to have been put in place to prevent frivolous lawsuits, even though there was already legislation in place specifically for frivolous suits. We also talk about how not being educated about nutrition often leads people to poor dietary choices.  Keep up with us on social media!   Twitter: @BlackLawPodcast IG: @BlackLawPodcast Facebook: @BlackLawPodcast On the web: www.BlackLawPodcast.com Dan Twitter: @iAmDanOnDrugs IG: @iAmDanOnDrugs Ann Twitter: @iTellLegalLies

    Mutual Combat

    Ann and Dan talk about mutual combat laws in the US. When Kwame Brown challenged Stephen A. Smith to meet him in a mutual combat state (Washington) where it's legal to engage in combat as long as both parties agree, Dan became interested in the subject.  There are only a few places in the US where mutual combat isn't illegal. Both parties are somewhat protected from criminal liability but not necessarily civil liability.  Keep up with us on social media!   Twitter: @BlackLawPodcast IG: @BlackLawPodcast Facebook: @BlackLawPodcast On the web: www.BlackLawPodcast.com Dan Twitter: @iAmDanOnDrugs IG: @iAmDanOnDrugs Ann Twitter: @iTellLegalLies

    Life Lessons

    Ann, Becky, and Dan have a conversation about some of the things that weren't taught to them when they were younger. We learned a lot on our own through trial and error or later in life from unlikely sources. No one taught us about certain things like financial literacy, sex, how to prepare for job interviews, professional etiquette, dating, and other useful life lessons/skills.

    Is Being a Lawyer Lucrative?

    Ann, Becky, and Dan discuss whether it's financially lucrative to become a lawyer in 2021. We review the average salaries of attorneys in the United States, as listed by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. We also talk about going back to the old apprenticeship model of vocational training, especially with the rising cost of tuition. Dan goes left field, as usual, with a mini-rant about Baby Boomers.

    Law Firm Hierarchy

    This week Ann, Becky, and Dan discuss the structure of what we'd consider a typical law firm. Ann explains the hierarchy of a firm from managing partners down to summer associates. Ann also explains how lawyers can't partner with non-lawyers to create a law firm. We also debate whether it's more difficult for Black women to succeed in law versus other occupational fields.

    Evidence Destroyed by an Act of God

    Ann, Becky, and Dan talk about how after Hurricane Katrina, a lot of evidence linked to criminal cases was lost or destroyed. Ann talks about what can happen if evidence is lost, especially exculpatory evidence. The entire criminal justice system in New Orleans was already in a failed state prior to Hurricane Katrina, which in-turn dealt a death blow. We somehow wander down the road of the sexual offender registry and whether or not we agree with everything that can land you on the list (like pissing outdoors), before getting back on track.
