An infrequent podcast series about the American legal system, brought to you by Andy, Charles, Michael, Tarik, and Tim. ALAB aims to tell engaging long-form stories about lawyers, legal cases, legal issues, or the legal profession more generally, with a focus on the outrageous, excessive, and absurd.
In the first installment of the Alex Jones Miniseries, Andy, Charles, and Tarik explore how Alex became Alex, and how the nation became a little Alex too.
In perhaps the cruelest of his many attention-seeking stunts, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defies the will of Florida's citizens, who voted overwhelmingly to restore voting rights to their neighbors with prior felony convictions. Andy, Charles, Tim, and Tarik explore the derailing of a 150-year-long project to correct a lasting injustice.
Finally released from their months-long imprisonment for contempt of court, Andy and Tarik face down their most dangerous foe yet: Edward "Coach" Weinhaus.
Andy, Charles, Tarik, and Tim explore the hilarious meltdown of the Ozy Media empire, and discover a cautionary tale about corporate governance.
Michael, Tim, Tarik, and newest ALAB-er Charles discuss the expansive sanctions order issued by a Michigan court against the intellectual architects of the so-called "Kraken" lawsuits that sought to invalidate the official results of the 2020 US Presidential election.
In the second and final part of their review of the U.S, government's unprecedented persecution of the Holy Land Foundation, Andy, Tarik and Tim -- again joined by podcast friend Rhiannon of fivefourpod.com -- analyze the two criminal trials that led to virtual life sentences for most of HLF's principals.
Andy, Tim, and 5-4’s Rhiannon discuss the federal government’s prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation.
Andy, Michael, Tarik, and Tim reflect on the 2007 Oscar-nominated film Michael Clayton. While the movie has been hailed as a masterwork of the legal thriller genre, how true to life is its portrait of the evil corporate lawyer?
Andy, Michael, Tim, and Tarik discuss "race norming" and related statistical shenanigans being used in courts today -- most famously in the NFL's concussion class action settlement -- to disadvantage women and people of color, a facially indefensible practice that somehow goes virtually unchallenged.
Andy, Tarik, and Tim arrive three weeks late with their ill-informed, and in places ill-considered, takes on the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot and its fallout.
