Thinking Like A Lawyer is a podcast featuring Above the Law's Joe Patrice, Kathryn Rubino, and Chris Williams. Each episode, the hosts will take a topic experienced and enjoyed by regular people, and shine it through the prism of a legal framework. This will either reveal an awesome rainbow of thought, or a disorienting kaleidoscope of issues. Either way, it should be fun.

  • Deserves that Golden Globe

    I’ve been tuning into this podcast since my law school days. As a lawyer in California, I also listen to other legal podcasts, but they usually get pretty dry & become background noise. I’m really surprised and a little offended by the low ratings this podcast has received because these three hosts have become a staple in my weekly routine. I appreciate how each episode dives into serious legal issues without being dull. Please keep the small talk, the weekly legal discussions, and all the spont... more

  • Serious, accessible, and funny

    I’m not a lawyer and I’m not involved in the legal profession at all but Above the Law: Thinking Like a Lawyer has become one of my favorite listens.

    Our nanny is in law school, and I wanted a way to better relate to her and understand a huge part of her life that exists outside of our family. This podcast has been a surprisingly great bridge. I’ve learned about the Bar, clerkships, bonuses, law firm culture, and the realities of the profession in a way that’s engaging, accessible, and often ve... more

  • Enjoy it until…

    I enjoy the podcast but find myself constantly turning it off when they vier hard into the politics. For legal experts, it’s interesting for them to throw tantrums when the legal system does work just not in their political interests. You guys should stick to law, not going on anti-Trump tirades
