Thinking Like A Lawyer is a podcast featuring Above the Law's Joe Patrice, Kathryn Rubino, and Chris Williams. Each episode, the hosts will take a topic experienced and enjoyed by regular people, and shine it through the prism of a legal framework. This will either reveal an awesome rainbow of thought, or a disorienting kaleidoscope of issues. Either way, it should be fun.

  • Enjoy it until…

    I enjoy the podcast but find myself constantly turning it off when they vier hard into the politics. For legal experts, it’s interesting for them to throw tantrums when the legal system does work just not in their political interests. You guys should stick to law, not going on anti-Trump tirades
