  • 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.

    However, "Lawyer 2 ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Viramontes v. Cook County, the Second Amendment, SCOTUS, & Potential Impact
Q: Since the assault weapons ban has shown that it saves lives, can it still be unconstitutional? And if the ban accomplished nothing on the other hand, could it still be constitutional?
Willinger says the history-focused test largely sidelines empirical evidence about whether a law saves lives or supports self-defense, asking instead whether governments historically regulated weapons in a similar way.
Viramontes v. Cook County, the Second Amendment, SCOTUS, & Potential Impact
Q: What would convince you that a historical analogy supporting a gun restriction is wrong?
Willinger explains that Supreme Court precedent makes historical evidence the key to judging gun restrictions, while recognizing that litigants may use historical arguments to advance modern policy positions.
Historical Sites, the Trump Administration, and the Legalities Surrounding Trump's Controversial Projects
Q: What laws need to be put in place in the future to prevent the administration from demolishing sites before courts can act?
Finkelman recommends statutes defining what presidents may alter and the required process, along with rules requiring review and approval of donated funds for federal projects.
Historical Sites, the Trump Administration, and the Legalities Surrounding Trump's Controversial Projects
Q: What are historical sites, and what does the law require?
Finkelman says the governing rules are spread across many statutes and that authority depends on the property and its creation. He describes established review processes involving Congress, agencies, and experts, while noting that legal boundaries are unclear in some situations.
Freedom of the Press: Trump’s Media Ban, the First Amendment, and the Impact on Journalism
Q: What are the limits on government in terms of punishing journalists or their political opponents?
The government should not punish political views or journalists for reporting, except in extreme cases; the general rule supports a robust, adversarial press within constitutional bounds.
