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.
