OA709: The Law of "March Madness!"
Added 2023-03-17 04:29:18 +0000 UTCToday, Liz and Andrew take a break from the world of politics (except for Patrons) to bring you the history and law surrounding "March Madness," including whether it was legal to fill out your bracket and how the NCAA approaches its trademarks. Along the way, we'll learn how the current right-wing Supreme Court is going to use a gambling decision to further its activist agenda. If you like basketball -- and even if you don't! -- you won't want to miss it!
The Patreon bonus is all about Jenna Ellis and Trump's legal team, and Liz brings the funny.
This is a paid post on Patreon and was released early for Patrons.

First episode in two years where I skipped the second half. Last time is was baseball law. Everything else this month was great.
