  • 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.

    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.
