Thinking LSAT Show NotesIn preparation for test week, Ben and Nathan remind students of a foundational piece of advice: treat the official test exactly like you would any other practice test. They apply that advice to everything from testing location decisions to your test week study plan. ⁠Study with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠⁠Watch Episode 518 on YouTube⁠0:25 – TicketmastersReddit is full of students panicking about unavailable test center seats due to a 50% increase in August registrations. Demon team members weigh in on the remote vs. in-person testing debate, with Ben and Nathan generally siding with online testing. While there can be proctor issues, they note that this isn't a universal problem and argue that horror stories are often amplified on Reddit while the smooth administrations go unnoticed. 7:36 – Eliminating 4 out of 5 Demon student Tom highlights a valuable LSAT skill: confidently eliminating four answers even if you're unsure why the fifth is right. Ben and Nathan explain the two paths to the correct answer—positive identification or conclusive elimination. When unsure of why a correct answer solves the problem, be sure to learn from that question in review, even if you get the question right.13:12 – The Week Before?Harry asks how to prepare in the final week before his test. The guys say to keep doing exactly what's worked. They caution that even asking this question suggests Harry may be treating the official test differently from practice. Planning to use all five attempts reduces the pressure of any one test. 19:50 – LSAT Demon Dashboard RatingsA listener asks about the purpose behind the Demon's dashboard ratings and how to utilize them effectively. Ben and Nathan explain that there were two primary goals: motivation and more immediate feedback. They emphasize that rating changes aren't always linear, and minor drops shouldn't be discouraging.24:40 – Video Explanations for RCConnor wonders if he should still review RC videos when he got everything right. Ben and Nathan say yes—especially if the passage felt confusing or required guesswork. Watching how teachers read can improve your process, not just your accuracy.28:32 – Transcript Petition SuccessMegan shares how she successfully petitioned to remove bad grades from her transcript. Ben and Nathan read the letter she used and suggested others in similar situations should try this approach. They note that smart, respectful advocacy can yield real results.40:28 – Applying BroadlyA student recounts accepting a partial scholarship and still facing six-figure debt. Ben and Nathan stress that 80% of law students receive scholarships and that partial offers can still lead to heavy debt burdens. Applicants should apply broadly and reject the idea that a “generous” offer is good enough if it means massive loans.Check out the LSAT Demon Scholarship Estimator47:00 - Word of the Week - Askance“The judge also looked askance at Anthropic's acknowledgement that it had turned to downloading pirated books in order to save time and money in building its AI models.”Get caught up with our ⁠Word of the Week⁠⁠ library. 

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk to Kirsten Kaiser Kus. She is a defense attorney and an equity owner at Downey & Lenkov LLC, leading their Indiana practice. She brings deep experience from both the plaintiff and defense sides of workers' compensation. She shares how her involvement with CLM and litigation education shaped her expertise and helped grow her professional network.We explore the many stakeholders in the workers' compensation system. Kirsten discusses distinctions between plaintiff-side and defense-side stakeholders and how they interact—or clash—within systems that vary state by state.On the plaintiff (applicant) side, she highlights challenges such as unrealistic expectations, lack of understanding of legal metrics, and client control issues. Then she systematically breaks down the far more complex defense side, detailing the roles of carriers, TPAs, hearing members, medical providers, mediators, ombudsmen, vendors, brokers, excess carriers, self-insured clients, and even how politics play out in our system.Throughout our conversation, Kirsten emphasizes one central principle: communication is critical. Where, oh where have we heard that before? Whether navigating expectations, coordinating stakeholders, or managing the risk of expensive cases, clear, proactive, and coordinated communication is what drives effective outcomes.Stakeholders in the Workers' Comp Ecosystem:Injured Worker The employee who was hurt at work and seeking benefits.Applicant's Attorney / Claimant's Attorney / Plaintiff's Attorney / Petitioner's Counsel The lawyer representing the injured worker (term varies by state).Defense Attorney The attorney representing the employer or insurance carrier.Employer The company where the injured worker is employed; also referred to as "the insured."Insurance Carrier The insurance company providing workers' comp coverage to the employer.Third-Party Administrator (TPA) An outside company that manages the administration of claims on behalf of self-insured employers or insurance carriers.Broker An insurance advisor who helps employers obtain and manage coverage.Self-Insured Employer A company that pays claims out-of-pocket, often with excess insurance coverage.Excess Carrier The insurer that covers costs beyond a self-insured employer's retention layer.Hearing Member / Judge / Commissioner The official who hears and rules on workers' compensation disputes.Ombudsman A state-provided guide who assists unrepresented workers.Mediator A neutral party who helps both parties involved in a litigated case try to settle the case before trial.Medical Provider Doctors and other clinicians who treat the injured worker.Nurse Case Manager (NCM) A licensed nurse who helps coordinate medical care and communicate with all stakeholders. NCMs are often called in to help coordinate more complex claims. Vendors Service providers such as interpreters, transportation, Medicare compliance experts, durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers, and home modification specialists.Subrogation Counsel / Third-Party Recovery Attorneys or departments pursuing reimbursement when a third party (not the employer) caused the injury.Family Members Often involved in influencing the injured worker's decisions and expectations, an important perspective to keep in mind througho¡Muchas Gracias!

Ben and Nathan push back against hype-driven decisions, urging students to ignore rising August LSAT registrations and wait to test until their practice scores consistently reflect readiness. They caution against chasing perceived trends, whether that means rushing to take an “easier” test or relying on gimmicks like diagramming. Even if more conditional logic appears in Logical Reasoning, the path to success remains the same: focus on intuitive understanding and resist shortcuts that only complicate the test.⁠Study with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠⁠Watch Episode 517 on YouTube⁠0:30 – August 2025 RegistrationsDespite an increase in August test registrations, Ben and Nathan stress that this shouldn't affect your personal test date. Wait to sign up until your practice test scores indicate that you're ready. They remind listeners that perceptions of an “easier” test are misleading. 14:26 – Still No Need To Diagram Henry asks if LR sections now contain more conditional logic. Ben defends the intuitive approach even on the most conditional-heavy questions, while Nathan notes that LR will never match the complexity of logic games. Diagramming, among other gimmicks, are magic beans sold to students. These strategies only complicate the test and inhibit meaningful understanding. 22:17 – Michigan AI EssayJordan sends in a Michigan Law prompt inviting applicants to use generative AI. The guys are critical of the prompt but applaud the school for acknowledging AI's role. They discuss how this reflects evolving attitudes toward AI in legal education.30:06 – Why Don't You Want Me to Go This Fall?Lizzy expresses pressure to apply quickly despite not feeling ready. Ben and Nathan explain why waiting until you have your best score matters most. They warn against a “one-and-done” mindset and emphasize that rushing leads to lower scores, worse offers, and possible regret.40:20 – Listing AwardsA listener asks whether they should list awards they haven't officially received yet. The advice: yes, include them—just mark them as “expected.”42:08 – Online JD ProgramsAre online JDs respected? Do they get scholarships? The guys argue there's little meaningful distinction between online and in-person programs. Applicants should still apply early and broadly to maximize scholarship offers.51:22 - Word of the Week - UnlessInnovation cannot thrive unless organizations embrace risk-taking.Get caught up with our ⁠Word of the Week⁠⁠ library. 

As conservatives, we champion secure borders, the rule of law, and an America First agenda that prioritizes our citizens. But putting America first isn’t just about policy, it’s also about investment and capital. This may surprise you, but foreign investment can help us secure our nation. The right type of foreign investment. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is working and working very well. It’s a system that channels foreign wealth into U.S. businesses: creating jobs and boosting our economy without costing taxpayers anything. Like most programs in D.C. the program is now the center of controversy. Fake news, misinformation, and sensationalistic rhetoric is now being spread about the EB-5 visas. It may come as no surprise, but do NOT believe what you hear. The system is a win for Americans. We get wealthy, freedom-loving foreigners who are willing to invest in American businesses in return for the ability to come and live here. Which means instead of importing poverty to America, like the previous administration, we import entrepreneurs who will help America grow and prosper. Congress established the EB-5 visa program in 1990. It’s designed as a fast track to permanent residency for foreigners who invest significant capital in U.S. businesses. Those businesses must create at least 10 full-time jobs for American workers. The EB-5 program fuels the growth of small business in America. And small business is at the heart of our economy. I have seen firsthand, EB-5 investment in poor rural areas in America as well as inner city areas that are both plagued with unemployment. The investors often put up at least $800,000 dollars or more often in places few Americans are willing to invest in. The entrepreneur seeking a residency in America gets no guarantees except the shot at receiving a green card, provided they meet the strict requirements. What critics refuse to tell you is that this program has already pumped billions into our economy, generating tens of thousands of jobs, all while maintaining a pristine record of investor integrity. As a business owner I see how the program turns foreign capital into American opportunity. Between 2008 and 2021, EB-5 generated $37.4 billion in foreign direct investment, funding projects like hotels, infrastructure, and real estate developments. These aren’t pie-in-the-sky schemes; they’re concrete contributions to American communities that need it most. The EB-5 program employs a rigorous application process because we want to ensure we are only inviting in pro-America, pro-freedom investors. Applicants must follow strict protocol: proving their funds are lawful, undergoing extensive background checks, and sustaining their investment for years. If EB-5 visa holders don’t live up to requirements, their visas are revoked. The program’s track record speaks for itself. I can’t find any evidence of EB-5 visa holders being convicted of crimes or causing problems in America. In 2005, government investigators found fraud on behalf of program operators not the investors. Those responsible were arrested and prosecuted. In 2022, Congress refined the EB-5 visa system leading to better oversight and vetting of potential investors. As a result, program compliance rates are now reaching all time highs. This isn’t a wide-open floodgate to America either. The EB-5 program has an annual allocation of fewer than 10,000 visas. In 2024 we saw that many foreigners use the Biden era CBP One app to enter America each day! Unlike other visa programs, it doesn’t displace American workers; it creates jobs for them—over 1.7 million between 2016-2019 alone. These are American jobs created with foreign money, that could have been spent elsewhere. The EB-5 visa program is self-funded, with zero cost to the taxpayer. It’s a model of what immigration policy should be: selective, merit-based, and America-first. Under President Trump’s leadership, the program was strengthened, with investment thresholds raised in 2019 to ensure only serious investors qualify. The 2022 reforms added more transparency and accountability. The program proves, we can have secure borders and economic growth. We don’t have to choose. EB-5 visa holders are investors, not freeloaders. They don’t drain our government services, they create a tax base to help pay for those services. These are America-loving investors who want to build America with us. The EB-5 program proves it’s possible to uphold conservative principles while harnessing global wealth for American prosperity. Congress should expand this program, maximize its potential, and send a clear message: America is open for business, not for open borders.

Is your team's AI strategy tailored for a fast-moving startup or a high-stakes enterprise? The answer could determine your success or failure. We're rejoined by Itamar Friedman, co-founder and CEO of Qodo, to break down what separates engineering teams that truly thrive with AI from those that are just experimenting, explaining why the path to success is fundamentally different for a startup that needs speed versus a large enterprise that must untangle bottlenecks.Itamar reveals his vision for the evolution from "vibe coding" to a more mature "grounded coding" that relies on structured workflows and rich, automated context. He also points to the trend of dev platform teams as the future "agent keepers" who will own the holistic and safe implementation of AI. Itamar provides an actionable playbook for leaders: map your current processes, identify your biggest bottleneck, and find a specialized AI tool for that specific problem.Check out:The DevEx guide to AI-driven software developmentWorkshop: The AI upgrade to your SDLCFollow the hosts:Follow BenFollow AndrewFollow today's guest(s):Learn more about Qodo qodo.aiConnect with Itamar Friedman on LinkedInFollow AI thought leader Andrej KarpathyReferenced in today's show:Announcing the real next chapter of WindsurfI still care about the codeMcDonald's AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants' Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456'Meta poaches even more AI talent Block launches a grant program for high impact OSS contributions to gooseSupport the show: Subscribe to our Substack Leave us a review Subscribe on YouTube Follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn Offers: Learn about Continuous Merge with gitStream Get your DORA Metrics free forever

The criminal justice system is often where public policy debates, from civil rights to addiction, converge. It's also critical for ensuring accountability when the government oversteps. North Dakota's Commission on Legal Counsel for Indigence, led by Director Travis Finck, headed into this year's legislative session facing a "perilous situation," that was dangerously close to a "constitutional failure" due to a lack of resources, leaving many without legal counsel. But lawmakers stepped up. The Finck and his fellow public defenders received a 20% budget increase, amounting to an additional $4.5 million over their 2023 budget. The budget boost is moving the agency "in the right direction," Finck said on this episode of Plain Talk. This funding has tangible impacts on recruitment and retention. Frink notes the agency can now offer higher salaries, implementing a new compensation plan to put them "on par with places like the attorney general's office." Previously, they weren't even "in the same stadium," Finck said. The agency is now projected to be fully staffed by September, a stark contrast to the 25-30% vacancy rate prior to the session. Beyond attorneys, the budget also allowed for hiring two new investigator positions, increasing their statewide total from one to three. Legislative support also provides a crucial morale boost. Applicants, even from out of state, recognize that the North Dakota legislature "acknowledges the public defenders exist…and the important role they play," Finck said. This commitment fosters a client-centered culture, attractive to new law school graduates, emphasizing the profound impact public defenders have. Looking forward, Finck emphasizes that while the progress is significant, the job isn't done. Future goals include hiring more investigators for thorough case reviews and developing "holistic approach" models to provide services such as housing and job assistance, to reduce recidivism. The agency also seeks to re-evaluate reliance on user fees and eliminate remaining fines, asserting that constitutional rights should not be funded by those exercising them. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the turmoil in Minot's recent mayoral elections, which included one of the candidates, Rob Fuller, suggesting I illegally accessed public records about his arrest for domestic violence. We also talked about the ongoing (and very tiresome) Armstrong veto controversy, and we react to some listener feedback.
