You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the Advisory Opinions podcast. I'm David French with Sarah Isger.

And we've got a few things to cover today.

We're going to cover the Southern Baptist Convention Sex Abuse Report.

But we're going to cover it from a legal angle and specifically the role of lawyers in the entire process and the considerations about liability.

Because this is a, there are nuances to this story that particularly implicate quite frankly the practice of law.

And the way in which liability concerns actually ended up facilitating an awful lot of abuse.

So we're going to talk about that.

We're going to also talk about a fourth circuit insurrection case against Madison,

that was pretty darn interesting narrow, but interesting. Sarah.

It was chippy.

It was chippy.

We're also going to talk about red flag laws and federal legislation just introduced that will empower federal courts to issue extreme risk protection orders.

And so we're going to talk about that. But first, Sarah, you've invented a holiday.

Yes. Today is the first annual, though, I hope to have it recognized every day on May 26th.

Or perhaps the fourth Thursday of the month, I haven't decided yet, David.

We'll have to just play with that as we go forward.

It is producer appreciation day.

And we have, we have, you know, a lot of things to talk about here. One, in the last episode, David and I decided that it was very important to record an episode,

even though legendary producer Caleb wasn't available to do it with us.

And so we were like, no big deal. How hard is this? I mean, sure, the editing part is hard, but we can record a podcast without Caleb.
