One reviewer said listening to the podcast was like listening to a sportscast of the law. They went on to say, “An excellent explanation of the legal processes and inside strategies in an easy-to-understand conversation between two pros. Just like listening to sportscasters, the professor and his longtime friend and colleague explaining the law with current event applications. I can’t wait for the next game, err episode.”
