A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a super nerd myself, I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to put out these podcasts. Being able to listen to the petitions and briefs is especially helpful, as I don’t always have time to read them. Please keep up the good work!

melissabdixon · Feb 2024

As a law student I have always wished that there was a way to listen to the full opinions, as opposed to excerpts or Commentary. This is a godsend for those of us who like to do housework and homework at the same time :). Nice selection of cases, too. Thank you!

I’m a teacher and often discuss the impact of landmark Supreme Court cases. I’ve always wanted to read more majority opinions but have struggled with making the time to do so. This podcast is just what I was hoping for. The narration is excellent, as is the choice of cases. I like the mix of historic and contemporary cases. Some of the opinions are quite long, so I know that this is a real effort on the part of the host. Thank you for producing these and making the SCOTUS decisions more accessible. By the way… The absolute best title. 😆

Thank you so much for doing this! You have a great reading voice, and it's so helpful to be able to listen to decisions in addition to raeding them. You're a godsend to law students everywhere.
