Hi, this is Dahlia Lithwick, host of Slates Legal Podcast, amicus. If you're listening to this

show, you might be interested in Amicus's live show that we're hosting in Washington,

to talk about automated officiating the death of the line judge in tennis

and when we should expect the referee robots

to rise up and become our sports overlords.

Then Mike Pesca of the gist will drop by to discuss the orgy of intentional losing that now seems to be taking place in the NBA

and whether it can or should be stopped. And finally, Dr. Florentina

Hetinga of the University of Essex will join us to talk about the Winter Paralympic
