Mike is a very kind guy who gives advice that would save a lot of future students time / money on researching how to get into law school.
Love this podcast!
This is so good. Totally worth exploring.
This was very profound, so glad You had him on the podcast. Doctors, new parents, young adults should be aware of his findings. He is absolutely the best to explain a lot of the problems we as human race have. Thanks for this!
Good podcast but very liberal bias both in structure and content of the stories. Season 1 is the best, Season 2 the bias becomes a lot more clear, and everyone says not to listen to Season 3. If you’re interested in the truth, look up the cases on oyez.org or check out a basic con law book. The podcast’s legal editor (Elly?) is the most extreme and too often he is presented as objective or a reasonable person on one side.
