Today's episode is everything you need to walk your open-minded Uncle Clarence -- you know, the one who watches Fox News, but not religiously, and isn't quite sure what all this impeachment nonsense is about -- through the key buzzwords of the week. And, as a bonus, we discuss an important decision regarding in vitro fertilization in Connecticut.
We begin, however, with the Explainer. How is this process different from (and more fair than) the Clinton impeachment? &...

Today's show is something we absolutely love to do, which is listener questions! Our listeners pose some truly intelligent, well thought-out, and deep-dive worthy questions. Today's episode features two such deep dives inspired by our listeners. The first is regarding DC v Heller, and whether it applies to gun ownership or gun sales, or both. The second question is a chance for Andrew to talk about jury duty, and what makes a good juror. Classic OA Tuesday deep dives!

This week's Rapid Response Friday breaks down exactly what's in H.R. 660, the impeachment inquiry resolution, and what it means for the ongoing process. We also help you digest the legal significance of Alexander Vindman's testimony and much, much more, so strap in!
We begin, however, with Thomas's favorite segment -- Andrew Was Wrong. Here, Andrew issues a correction regarding baseball law and the chemistry of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) from our popul...

It's an all American episode, complete with 3 dives! First we have a 9th Circuit ruling on Domino's Pizza to discuss, related to accessibility concerns with their app. Then, you know those horrible, unfunny, obnoxious Bud commercials with the knights and the king and all that? Turns out in addition to being terrible, they may also be potentially tortious! They made some very specific claims about MillerCoors beers using corn syrup in their beer they have gotten them into legal trouble. And fi...

Oh, this is a shame; Thomas eliminated the correct answer (A) right off the bat, making this a rare failure even for Thomas's Second Chance Law Firm. Thomas got the result correct ("no") but for the wrong reason. Thomas is now 81-for-150 (54.0%).

We begin with a brief overview of the "due process" argument throughout history with an eye towards how it applies to the Trump impeachment.
From there, we move to a specific application: the...

The normies got an episode with some more LA live show, but since you've already heard all of that, Andrew recorded a bonus segment about debate for you! Additionally, everyone gets the normal pre-show stuff, T3BE, and patron shoutout, as well as a short segment on Covington and Burling winning legal fees from the government. Hope you enjoy!

With impeachment in full swing, today's episode reminds you that we already have more than enough evidence to impeach & remove Donald Trump from office for the nine distinct crimes documented by Robert Mueller in Vol. II of the Mueller Report.
We begin, however, with a pre-show update: the 4th Circuit has just voted to rehear the Mary...

After cooking all day for the platinum folks in LA, Andrew deserves a childhood favorite 80s movie of his. So we watched it. It sucks. But hopefully he enjoyed the experience.

Question #147 was so tricky that the bar exam gods decided to give Thomas a second bite at the apple. In working through it, he correctly eliminated (B) and also strongly considered (D) before settling in on the correct answer, (C). It was a nail-biter, but Thomas is now 80-for-148 (54.1%), and back in the win column!

Today's episode breaks down the recent news relating to (1) legal efforts to subpoena Donald Trump's taxes, (2) the latest kerfuffle over the standing House rules and whether the impeachment inquiry is "unconstitutional" and "illegal" (it isn't), with a bonus (3) rant about PG&E's blackouts -- excuse me, "public safety power shutoff events" in Northern California. Phew!
We begin with a discussion surrounding PG&E's decision to shut off power for up to five days, affecting ...

Today's episode is an interview and a deep dive with British solicitor Emma McClure, who helps walk us through the recent activity regaridng #Brexit and also gives us some signposts as to what's next for our wacky neighbor across the pond.
This episode is a follow-up to our first #Brexit show, which was Episode 315. Find out what, if anything, Andrew got wrong in that show, while Emma also helps us break down the U.K. Supreme Court's (shocking to Andrew) 11-0 decision that PM Bori...

Ooh, I love the way both Thomas and Emma worked through this question, even though neither one got this correct. Thomas almost talked himself into the right answer before going with his gut -- incorrectly -- on (D). Emma picked (A), which is also incorrect.
Interestingly, Andrew would have picked (B), which is also incorrect! However, Andrew's second-chance law firm would have been (C), which -- at long last! -- is actually the right answer.

Thomas instantly recognized the right answer to this one, eliminating both of the "no" answers and then choosing between (C) and (D). Thomas went with his gut, chose (D), which is absolutely correct! Thomas is now 79-for-146 (54.1%) and on a three-question winning streak.

Today's Deep Dive can't help but stay high atop Yodel Mountain. We imagine that by the time you're hearing this, the House will have voted to begin an impeachment inquiry. Curious about what that means, why it matters, and what happens next? Then this is the show for you!
