Relevant & elevated discussions

I enjoy listening to the in-depth discussions and opinions on current court cases, applications of the law and the politics of the day that are offered here. I’m interested in seeing this podcast grow because I like to hear the knowledgeable analyses on important issues so that I can form an opinion rather than just be brainwashed by the political parties and the mainstream media. This gives me something to think about. But, I’m no fan of Michigan football. Go Gators!

all nick names are taken lol ,

Great Duo!

Norm and Mike are as intelligent as they are articulate! Topics discussed are on point and interesting! Law students would be wise to watch them and listen! They distill the most complicated current events to a level of understanding that non law people could understand. They are funny and entertaining too!!

n eg ,

Two knowledgeable Lawyers

Mike and Norm do a great job discussing constitutional laws issues in a quick and understandable for way for laymen. Norm’s berth of knowledge is amazing and actually makes you think lawyers are ok people.
