by Attorney RJ Dieken, Loki Esq Law, Montana
Following what the Supreme Court is actually doing can be daunting. Reporting on the subject is often only done within the context of political narratives of the day -- and following the Court's decisions and reading every new case can be a non-starter. The purpose of this Podcast is to make it as easy as possible for members of the public to source information about what is happening at the Supreme Court. For that reason, we read every Opinion Syllabus without any commentary whatsoever. Further, there are no advertisements or sponsors. We call it "information sourcing," and we hope that the podcast is a useful resource for members of the public who want to understand the legal issues of the day, prospective law students who want to get to know legal language and understand good legal writing, and attorneys who can use the podcast to be better advocates for their clients. *Note this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.

This podcast is exactly what I was looking for to be able to easily access new US Supreme Court decisions. Thank you!
Great podcast in a scarce genre of journalism that covers the judicial branch of government. I would recommend giving listeners the full decision breakdown before reading the full opinion, or at least giving the author of the opinion before reading it. I find myself either getting confused or losing interest or losing interest because I’m confused about the opinion before the end. Knowing the opinion author at the end is unhelpful. This term has several topics with 2 or more similar cases which I find difficult to distinguish. Given more relevant opinion details as context would help me follow the law through a story given by the author and deepen my understanding the opinion.
Podcast does what very few others do. It peels back the curtain on what the Supreme Court is doing in a very easy to access and understand way. Thanks!
RJ Dieken is not a professional voice actor, or reader, so there are a few little mistakes here and there, but I LOVE this podcast because Mr. Dieken just reads opinions without any fluff, or explanation. For lawyers, law students, it’s perfect. Thank you for taking the time to do these readings. I would not be keeping up with these cases if I had to read them myself - but I will listen to RJ while I’m walking my pups, or doing the dishes. Brilliant!
