Law and Chaos

I generally like this program. I listen regularly and followed it under its previous title. That said I feel like the explanation of “per se” and “per quod” might deserve a revisit. “Per se” is when a statement is false outright or “on the face of it.” “Per quod” is when the defamation is implied. For “per quod,” some states like Missouri have an “innocent construction” defense, meaning that is the statement is true in its most innocent interpretation, then it is not defamatory.

Love the pod. Love Liz and Andrew, and how Liz reigns in Andrew’s geekery and Andrew steadies the rails on Liz’ justifiable rage at the world’s current incompetence - and also will rattle them too when appropriate! Perfect balance of the team - and I have to admit… I gotta hear the Magic the Gathering case. It’s already so nerdy … lean into it! Thanks for a great pod.

I find Liz and Andrew’s coverage of topics superb. Yes, they are unapologetic lefties (as am I) so their opinions are left leaning. But what I appreciate is that when they address a topic they bring facts to the table; and actually use existing case law to support their opinions. If your from the other side of the aisle yes it might be annoying to hear them sometimes make fun of your side; but when they disagree with your policy it’s not vibes they are running on; it’s actual facts. And as they are practicing lawyers who don’t want to be disbarred for knowingly lying to the public; when they present something as evidence; it’s real evidence, not the gibberish you see on Newsmax. So long story short; this show deserves a weekly listen

I listen to every episode and read Liz’s posts between episodes. I tried to become a member and my bank account was deducting the monthly fee for membership but I was still getting commercials. I wrote several emails that were never answered. I finally was able to get in touch with Patreon and was informed that they had no record of me joining, even with proof of auto deduct from my bank.
