Summary

It’s not just us feeling exhausted right? It’s been a totally wild past few weeks. That’s why we are taking off the next few weeks to bring you a special series we’re calling “The Law According to Trump.” Andrea Bernstein, the host of WNYC’s Trump Inc., will be stepping into the host chair for Dahlia Lithwick in the month of August to explain how the former president uses the law to his advantage, and how he has gamed the judicial system to his advantage for decades before he entered political life. Andrea joins Dahlia to preview the series. Later in the show, Dahlia talks with Judge David S. Tatel. Tatel served on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and became prominent for both his jurisprudence and his blindness. His new memoir, Vision, was published last month and every young lawyer should read it. On this week’s show Judge Tatel discusses the book, which details his experience on the federal appeals court and his blindness. They also talk about his concerns for the current Supreme Court and its recent approach to the law. Want more Amicus?

0:46.9	law and the Supreme Court and I'm Dahlia Lythwick and I don't know about you all, but I am pretty freaking exhausted when we decided to take the show weekly this past fall.
1:01.3	I'm not sure we realize that every week would contain
1:04.2	10,000 years so this was a lot of news to pack in and there appears to be a lot more
1:10.9	news in the world of the law where that came from.

1:26.0	for what is going to come in the legal world this fall, and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that if you are feeling depleted and frustrated and tired, I really hope you get the chance to rest a little bit too in August.
