  • Pure unadulterated trash

    100% left wing propaganda. They don’t even pretend to be unbiased. These guys are on the wrong side of the law and history. They are out of touch w society.

  • 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.

  • Not what it once was

    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. I... more

  • Seeking Balance: A Critical Review of 'Lawyer 2 Lawyer' Podcast's Approach to Political Discourse

    Subject: Review of "Lawyer 2 Lawyer" Podcast: A Call for Balanced Discourse

    In today's world, political discourse is notably polarized. Yet, within the legal community, which is perceived to have a liberal inclination, I have often admired the majority of attorneys for their commitment to maintaining objectivity in discussions. This dedication to impartiality generally extends to legal podcasts, which typically strive to present a balanced exploration of diverse viewpoints.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Law School Accreditation: Shaping the Future of the Profession
Q: How long does it take to start a new law school and get accredited?
From application and site visits to provisional approval and eventual full accreditation, the process is lengthy and depends on meeting substantial compliance within three to five years, with ongoing evaluation afterward.
Law School Accreditation: Shaping the Future of the Profession
Q: What is the next big challenge for the Council?
Anticipating AI impacts and the federal student lending caps, the council will focus on flexible standards that preserve quality while allowing innovative teaching methods and pathways to practice.
Law School Accreditation: Shaping the Future of the Profession
Q: What role do DEI initiatives play in accreditation, given current political and legal debates?
The council suspended and then repealed standard 206 to avoid pressuring schools to violate laws or misinterpret DEI requirements, emphasizing compliance with law while remaining open to inclusive practices within a clear legal framework.
Law School Accreditation: Shaping the Future of the Profession
Q: What do you think the most justified criticism of the council is?
The council should do a better job listening to all constituencies and ensure feedback from diverse groups is incorporated without being captured by any single interest, so decisions reflect a balanced, well-considered approach.
Citizens United: A Strategy to Take Dark Money Out of Politics
Q: What are the arguments against your approach to reforming corporate power in politics?
Opponents argue it would further undermine corporate speech rights protected by Citizens United and could conflict with existing constitutional interpretations; they also worry about how to practically enforce a reduced list of corporate powers across states and the potential for unintended legal consequences.
