A Legal Podcast for All

Professors Julie Suk and Jed Shugerman’s podcast is a work of legal art. Its approachability makes it digestible for academics, students, and all. In inviting both distinguished guest speakers and curious students to participate in the process, the Constitutional Crisis Hotline allows us all to have a voice and to understand current legal issues. I am looking forward to more episodes!
