He's not even a lawyer and he's kicking your ass.

No! Bad lawyer! I need a loophole!

He's not Judge Judy and executioner! He is!

I'm sorry, but my mother always said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Will that hold up in court? No, I've tried it before.

Stop. Ask a question a lawyer would ask, please. I am a lawyer.

Welcome to Opening Arguments, the podcast that pairs an inquisitive interviewer with a real-life lawyer.

This podcast is sponsored by the Law Offices of P. Antitoura as LLC for entertainment purposes,

is not intended as legal advice and does not form an attorney-client relationship.

Don't take legal advice from a podcast.

Hey folks, it's Thomas and I'm here to tell you a couple things before we get to the show.

First and foremost, today's show contains explicit language.

I'll tell you why. This was originally a lot of movies.

It was the LAMICUS BREAF if you will where I give my version of the AMICUS BREAF and then we discuss and vote on which one we want to go with.

And then also Andrew and Morgan give a lot of the background of writing their brief.

So the only other thing I want to say, so be warned, explicit language, not usual for the show,

but that's what happens on the bonus content sometimes, so be warned.

And then also I just want to throw it out there.

If you're a patron, patreon.com slash law, not only have you already heard this,

but instead of this episode today, you'd be getting a bonus discussion that Andrew and I did on Bolton's book,

among other things, so just throwing that out there, but no hard feelings if you're not able to be a patron.

That said, enjoy this LAMICUS BREAF.
