    The Court of Public Opinion

    Hosts Jocie Scherkenbach and Grace Castleberg dive deep into the complex intersection of legal proceedings and public perception. Joined by St. Thomas Law alumni Anne St. Amant (Civil Attorney) and Charlie Rooney (Criminal Attorney), our panel explores four headline-grabbing legal cases where social media and public discourse have significantly influenced the legal narrative. From viral debates to dissecting evidence, our expert guests analyze how the digital age has transformed the traditional concept of the "court of public opinion." Our hosts and guests tackle challenging questions about media influence, jury bias, and the evolution of legal practice in an era where anyone can become a self-appointed legal analyst. Whether you're a legal professional, law student, or simply interested in the intersection of justice and social media, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how public opinion shapes – and sometimes challenges – the pursuit of justice in modern America.
