Good Behaviour #9: "A Bunch of Printers"
Will Baude joins us to discuss the latest news of the Kavanaugh nomination. Plus, what do we mean when we talk about originalism?
1L First Street #1: "Dumbo's Feather"
We're launching a new series aimed at helping law students survive the best/worst three years of their lives. In this episode, we'll talk about study groups, thinking like your professor, and the best food-related way to make it through an exam.
In Recess #8: "Would You Rather"
Rick Hasen joins us to talk about his new book, The Justice of Contradictions: Antonin Scalia and the Politics of Disruption.
Good Behaviour #8: "Batting .998"
We round up the latest Kavanaugh news, including speculation on the Bush documents and a debate over whether Democrats should support his confirmation when they disapprove on the merits.
In Recess #7: "Robot Ban"
We recorded this week’s episode live at the Washington, DC offices of Akin Gump. We’re joined by two members of the firm’s Supreme Court and Appellate Practice—Pratik Shah, a former Assistant to the Solicitor General, and Martine Cicconi, who worked in the White House Counsel’s office and clerked for Justice Ginsburg. We talk through the strategy behind the firm’s win in Patchak v. Zinke, reflect on their important amicus brief in Trump v. Hawaii, and discuss how to build a successful Supreme Court practice in an increasingly crowded field.

In Recess #6: "Allen Charge"
We were in Chicago speaking at the National Foundation of Judicial Excellence's Annual Judicial Symposium this past weekend, and we took some time to eat Japanese BBQ, drink sake, and record a new episode. We get caught up on our backlog of our (disappointingly male-dominated) hotline calls while also briefly recapping the latest news on the battle to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
In Recess #5: "The Ghost of LBJ"
October Term 2017 has been officially gaveled out, and the Justices are all doing exciting things like "teaching" in Europe. But we're not taking the summer off. Instead, we're to give you 2018's first installment of our summer series, "In Recess." In this episode, we start to chip away at our huge backlog of hotline calls, and talk through some interesting religious liberty cases the Court has on its docket—while also providing a brief update about just how much Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh loves baseball.

Good Behaviour #7: "Not an Emirate"
But plenty more questions remain: How much did Justice Kennedy have to do with the nomination? Where does Judge Kavanaugh fall on the ideological scale? How did neatly packaged conservative and liberal judicial strategies come to be? And are we actually just re-living the beginning of the 20th century?
It’s the second-ever First Mondays annual! Leah* joins an episode devoted to looking back on OT2017, even with so many possibilities for the Court’s future. That includes another round of First Mondays superlatives, and no spoilers, but Justice Kagan didn’t win them all (but did come up in almost every category). After the best and the worst of OT2017, from cases ranging from Sessions v. Dimaya to Ortiz v. United States to Gill v. Whitford to NIFLA v. Becerra to Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute (and more!), a brief word about some things to watch for in OT2018.
Special thanks to Matt Farley of Motern Media for yet another perfect song to cap the term.

Good Behaviour #6: "The Drift"
We like to think that the Supreme Court is non-political in its decision-making, but the numbers say otherwise. Lee Epstein, Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, joins us to talk about what we learn when we start crunching numbers on Supreme Court decisions. Plus, she explains how data can illustrate where a Supreme Court nominee falls on the ideological scale.
We made it! OT2017 came to a close last week, but not before dropping quite a few bombshells. We'll discuss what the Supreme Court decided in matters relating to crisis pregnancy centers and free speech, public sector union dues, and President Trump's travel ban.
Make sure you're subscribed to the show in the podcast app of your choice. This summer we're reviving our Good Behaviour series, paying close attention to the confirmation process for whomever is nominated to fill Justice Kennedy's seat.
Good Behaviour #5: "Constitutional Hardball"
Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. What now? We continue our series on Supreme Court vacancies, with Dan and Leah-- both former Kennedy clerks-- setting the stage.
OT2017 #30: "Most Ambitious Crossovers"
We take a running start and try to get through as many opinions as we can. We discuss gerrymandering, online sales tax, and cell phone records. Plus, we interview the man, the myth, the legend-- two-time Supreme Court winner Fane Lozman.
Live from New York, it's First Mondays! Many thanks to Shearman & Sterling for hosting us.
We have some more opinions as the Supreme Court attempts to finish OT2017 on time. First, we'll discuss #KaganStyle in Sveen v. Mellin, along with what the decision means for a certain advocate's win-loss record. We'll also talk about why registering to vote shouldn't be so difficult, what happens when an 8-member Court is equally divided, how to keep things chill at the polls, and which version of the dictionary is the best version.
Well, it looks like Masterpiece Cakeshop came in with a bang and out with a whimper. Will Baude, Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago Law School, joins us for a three-mic show to discuss that opinion, along with the results in Hughes and Koons.
OT2017 #27: "Girl Scouts and Trick-or-Treaters"
Is the curtilage legally a part of someone's home?
Is it better to be right or to have fun?
As a clerk, how badly do you have to mess up to get dunked on in a judicial opinion?
What's the correct pronunciation of Skagit?
How long has #GorsuchStyle been a thing, really?
Speaking of, where's the link to that NY Mag profile on Justice Gorsuch?
And of course, we recap the two opinions and a DIG the Supreme Court handed down last week.
OT2017 #26: "The Murder Zone"
The pace of Supreme Court opinions continues to be at crawl, but we have two to talk about this week, both written by Justice Gorsuch: Epic Systems Corp v. Lewis and Upper Skagit Indian Tribe v. Lundgren. We'll also recap some new grants for OT2018 and answer a few hotline calls.
