Baseball. America’s favorite pastime. A wonderful game, with its share of controversy. On October 30th, 2024, the World Series wrapped with the LA Dodgers beating the NY Yankees 4-1 in the series.

Only Opinions, No Legal Analysis

This podcast used to be focused on explaining legal concepts and diving into the legal implications of various topics. Now it is purely opinion and conjecture. There is no fact-based analysis, no legal analysis; there is only opinions, and those opinions are extremely biased with no counterarguments or opposing viewpoints. If you want real fact-based and legal analysis, go check out Unbiased by Jordan Berman.
Serious, substantive discussion of legal topics in the news

This is meat & potatoes. Topics are driven by the news cycle, but the discussion focuses on legal analysis instead of politics or the horse race. Come prepared and you won't be disappointed.

I subscribed during law school (circa 2018) and found the discussions highly relevant to my studies and conversations in class and with classmates; the guests were civil, highly knowledgeable, and represented both sides of the aisle well on issues that divide our country and the hosts guided the discussions well. However, in the last year or two, the exchange between what used to be two opposing guest lawyers has dwindled to barely a whisper with generally only one viewpoint shared these days. If anything, it now is a bullhorn for hard left activists who throw scorn and disdain on fellow lawyers and the rest of the country who do not drink the koolaid. That can certainly have a place, but this show is the worse off for it. It has lost the thrill of what Lawyer 2 Lawyer used to be; and believe me, at one time, this podcast was truly thrilling and evoked palpable excitement at each drop of a new episode. Shows that will air and civilly discuss modern legal and political controversies with equally balanced opposing viewpoints are few and far between. This was once a shining jewel, but it has lost its luster.
