Learning a new Language in law school (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This mini-episode introduces a core challenge for new law students: familiar words often carry compressed legal frameworks. I explain how terms like "issue," "reasonable," "consideration," "standing," "assault," and "discovery" are not merely vocabulary but labels that cue multi-step analyses. Questions? Comments?

Torts and more: Professor Friedman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I'm speaking with Associate Dean and Professor David Friedman about how the Torts class connects to just about every other subject in the law. He also talks about using legal analysis as a tool, while pursuing the values that brought you to law school -- plus a little baseball and some book recommendations! Questions or comments?
