Episode VII: Sen. Burr’s Guide to Investing
It’s the season finale for Law & Society Talk and Matt could not be sadder to learn that Chief Justice Roberts hasn’t replied to his thank-you letters. Nevertheless, joined by incoming Editor in Chief Jonathan Harris, the editors take a final pass at the Trump finance cases, unanimous jury trials, and Michael Flynn’s painful realization that “it isn’t over ‘til it’s over.” You may even get some compelling advice on how NOT to invest. But before Vin and Matt sign off, will they be able to prove that bird law is not governed by reason in this country?

Episode VI: The Boy Who Cried Entrapment
Matt and Vin are back with a fresh pair of dice to once again set wagers on the High Court’s most consequential rulings (even the ones that bore Matt to tears). With a less than riveting end to the latest Second Amendment battle to whether or not Justice Breyer thinks you are dumping toxic waste in the right place, the editors give a rundown of what’s shaping up for the law as we near the end of the Court’s term. But nothing is complete without a bit of President Trump legal drama, this week featuring former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn.

Episode IV: Once Upon A Time Duck Hunting with Dick Cheney...
Law & Society Talk is back this week to consider whether Hank Johnson and Jerry Nadler will manage to foil Dick Cheney’s vacation plans. Matt and Vincenzo also dive into Round 3 of the GOP’s favorite professional wrestling match: the constitutionality of Obamacare. To round things off, the editors speculate on the outcome of the Supreme Court’s least controversial legal debate( yes, read that with sarcasm): the Second Amendment.

Episode III: To Pardon, or Not to Pardon?
Law & Society Talk is back with a special recording covering President Trump’s most recent reality TV series: Who Wants to Be A Pardoned Crony? The Editors-in-Chief also discuss the ongoing drama over Roger Stone’s criminal trial and sentencing and assess whether the 115th Congress’s FIRST STEP Act has earned its name or should be rehashed as the “25% of Half A Step Act.”
Also joining us for our discussion is Cornell’s very own Professor Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government at Cornell University and Cornell Law School.

Episode II: It's Nothing Personal, It's Just Retaliation.
Law & Society Talk is back with a riveting discussion about the finale to America's least favorite soap opera: Impeachment. We also touch upon President Trump's head start to Spring Cleaning with the recent dismissal of several key impeachment witnesses. And if that's not enough for you, Editors-in-Chief Vincenzo Guido and Matthew Chakov consider whether Congress is ready to give marijuana law a brand new look and whether Associate Editor Catherine Tran will ever be able to convince Matt to love the Dormant Commerce Clause as much as she does.

Episode I: Death, Taxes, and John Bolton
In this inaugural episode of Law & Society Talk, Co-Editors-in-Chief Vincenzo Guido '20 and Matthew Chakov dive into President Trump's legal jousts with the Manhattan District Attorney and U.S. House of Representatives over disclosure of his financial records, the ongoing impeachment saga, and a feature piece on the American Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment. Needless to say, three things appear ever more certain for Mr. Trump: death, taxes (maybe), and John Bolton.
