A carefully balanced analysis of major Supreme Court topics presented in a way that is designed to educate the listener on many intricacies of our legal system, while gaining a sense for the personalities of the nine Supreme Court justices through clips of the various proceedings.
So well done!
Both enjoyable and educational!!
