About The Citizen's Guide to the Supreme Court

Brett and Nazim are two attorneys who hate being attorneys. Each week, they discuss current Supreme Court cases with the intent to make the law more accessible to the average person, while ruminating on what makes the law both frustrating and interesting. This podcast is not legal advice and is for entertainment purposes only. If anything you hear leads you to believe you need legal advice, please contact an attorney immediately

   Something Borrowed, Something Blue

   This week's episode takes another spin through voting rights, covering last term's Watson v. RNC (holding in the most limited way as possible that mail-in voting is OK), leading into this term's RNC v. Mi Familia Vota (determining how much the potential fall of democracy should factor into reviewing new voting regulations).  Law starts at 8:30, so we are sorry in advance.

   Nazim's Doom-and-Gloom Gerrymanding Spectacular

   This week's episode covers the perils of gerrymandering in Louisianna v. Callais, in which the Supreme Court reversed course on a districting map that may alter the application of the Voting Rights Act moving forward.  Nazim's sad and Brett tries to cheer him up.  You'll laugh.  You'll cry.  You probably just won't have fair access to voting in the foreseeable future.  Law starts from the beginning, but starts to go off track once the discussion moves to Weird Al.

   Rich Borders, Porous Borders

   This week's long over-due covers the past, present and future on international law and the Supreme Court.  You (as Bill Murray in Scrooged) will enjoy the tarriffs in Learning Resources v. Trump (Buster Poindexter in Scrooged), birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara (Carole Kane in Scrooged) and removal proceedings in Blanche v. Lau (the faceless Grim Reaper in Scrooged).  The law kind of starts from the beginning but is regularly interrupted by tangents.  We missed you, too.
