    Fan Boy Come On!! Can We Focus On What Matter Not sensational Bull!
    Dude! There are only 4,500 Licensed Black Attorneys in The State of Texas Vs 90,120 White LICENSED Attorney and 99,280 Black Male incarcerated in the Texas BOP, not to mention that there were only 350 Black Law Student admitted to All of Texas All Schools in 2021(509 Report) so we don’t have time for the “Fan Boy” sensational Bull when it comes to understanding the laws that matters! Focus Man and stop with the “ inside joke talk”! Mr.Wright
  • ted-tanner
    Important but one-sided analysis
    The points are well-reasoned, but in cases that touch hot-button political issues I find myself wishing there were two sides being presented. To the contrary, it seems that the podcast is only interested in providing a legal argument that benefits one side of the aisle. Still, I think the podcast provides a valuable perspective; just make sure it is not the only perspective you listen to. 2-stars for being irresponsible by not being politically neutral. The ABA ought to be a neutral organization but this podcast from the ABA does not show neutrality.

    Great way to stay current on issues
    The shows are brief yet engaging. A great way to stay on top of current pressing issues for Law Students!
  • LawStudentSearchingForWisdom
    Just what I've been looking for!
    This is awesome! The discussion about the Uniform Bar Exam, limited license legal technicians, and public interest loan forgiveness is so eye-opening and informative. Thank you for creating this. I've been looking around for a cool, quick, and meaty podcast just like this. The hosts are cool too.

    Great Resource for Law Students!
    With interesting and impressive guests this podcast provides law students (and those interested in becoming law students) with a breadth and depth of information to help them succeed as law students and young lawyers.
