Tommy Tardie and Fred are longtime friends. In an interview in Fine & Rare in New York, which Tommy owns, Tardie talks about his new product--The Morning Dram. They eat dinner over, sip whiskey, talk about the New York whiskey scene and enjoy a French press of the barrel aged coffee. PRESS RELAESE The Morning Dram, a new line of barrel-aged coffee brought to you by the owner and operator of The Flatiron Room and Fine & Rare, announces its official launch in time for the holiday season. Founded by Tommy Tardie, The Morning Dram is a collection of coffees created for the spirits drinker. Launch products include Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee, Rye Barrel Aged Coffee, Apera Sherry Barrel Aged Coffee, and House Blend No. 1 along with options such as a subscription box, starter kit, and The Morning Dram merchandise available for purchase exclusively at www.TheMorningDram.com. The Morning Dram is also served at Tardie's New York landmark establishment Fine & Rare. For more than a decade Tommy has owned and operated spirits-focused restaurants in New York City with some of the country's largest selections of whiskey and spirits. The Flatiron Room, which celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2022, was awarded “Best Whisky Bar” in 2021 by Whisky Magazine. Inspired by the commonality between fine spirits and quality coffee, where aficionados enjoy savoring the experience and each note and layer of their drink, Tardie created a coffee with the spirits drinker in mind. “Good coffee and fine spirits have so much in common, you want to appreciate each sip,” shared Tommy Tardie, Owner & Operator of Goodnight Group. “The Morning Dram offers a balance of complex notes and simple joy, robust flavors of coffee beans cradled in these spirits barrels.” Appropriately named after the term for a small pour of alcohol, usually referring to whiskey, The Morning Dram utilizes high-quality beans aged in barrels from top distilleries. Rather than setting a standard time to age each coffee, Tommy uses his senses to determine the appropriate time to remove the beans to achieve a rich, smooth finish. This can vary for each batch, since all barrels are different, and achieves distinct tasting notes for each coffee blend. Bourbon Barrel Aged: Honduras • Caramel corn, vanilla fudge, toasted marshmallow, sweet bourbon Rye Barrel Aged: Colombia & Mexico • Milk chocolate, orange zest, ginger candy, cinnamon toast, sweet oak Apera Sherry Barrel Aged: Guatemala • Cherries dipped in milk, chocolate, Brazil nuts, figs, strawberry preserves There is no alcohol in The Morning Dram, and no flavorings or additives. The only ingredient: coffee beans. The distinctive flavor of each coffee is a result of the beans' time in the barrel, a process that mirrors the whiskey-making process, where barrels are carefully chosen to provide flavor and finish to the liquid aged within. “The Morning Dram is truly designed for spirits enthusiasts, those who have a passion for exploring the subtle notes and complex flavors resulting from the mastery of a distiller and the barrels they choose for the aging process,” added Tardie. “And with The Morning Dram, that experience can be enjoyed anytime of the day. It's always eight o'clock somewhere.” For the holidays and beyond, The Morning Dram has curated a collection of gift items at www.themorningdram.com/collections/gifts.

In this episode... Professor Luke Norris, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law explains the difference between Labor Law and Employment Law classes and provides an explanation for why each is worth taking in as an upper-level law school class. As an added bonus, Professor Norris explains the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which the House of Representatives passed earlier in the month. Some key takeaways are... 1. Labor law focuses on the law of collective action and groups, such as unions, in the workplace. 2. Employment law focuses more on individual rights in the workplace. 3. Many schools combine the classes. 4. Regardless of your desired area of practice, both of these classes are worth taking as an upper-level student as a way of deepening your understanding of laws that impact every working adult. About our guest....Professor Luke Norris joined the Richmond Law faculty in 2018.

In this episode...I speak with Judge, Attorney, Historian, and Prof. John Browning about righting historic wrongs.    Prof. Browning has dedicated the past few years correcting the racial wrongs of State Bars.  Last year, he secured admission for an African American man who aspired to be a lawyer in the 1880s but was denied bar admission because of his race.  He is currently petitioning the New York State Bar to admit Ely S. Parker, a Native American War hero and the First Commissioner of Native American Affairs. Some Key Takeaways... 1. State Supreme Courts have only awarded six posthumous bar admissions for those denied admission based on race.2. Of the 6 posthumous admissions to date, 3 were Asian American men, and 3 were African American.3. Asian Americans were prevented from becoming lawyers based on federal laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act, while African Americans were discriminated against based on specific laws in states like California and Maryland that barred Blacks from becoming lawyers, as well as by systemic racism.4. Due to the lack of scholarship into this area and difficulties in locating documentary evidence of such exclusions, no one knows how many aspiring attorneys of color were prevented from entering the legal profession About our guest... John Browning is a partner at the PlanoTexas office of   Spencer Fane LLP, an Adjunct Professor of Law at Southern Methodist University Dedham School of Law and a former justice on Texas’ Fifth Court of Appeals. The author of five law books and 40 academic articles, Justice Browning is a nationally-recognized thought leader at the intersection of technology and the law whose work has been cited as authority by courts in California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

In this episode, Professor Amy Gajda, the Class of 1937 Professor of Law at Tulane Law School explains the four privacy torts and shares discusses the likely impact of recent cases including Bollea v. Gawker (The Hulk Hogan Case)Some key takeaways are... The Privacy Rights are(1) Misappropriation - use of another's name or identity without permission.(2) Intrusion into seclusion - peering in on someone who is in seclusion.(3) Publication of private facts (the gossip tort) publishing of private information about another person that is highly offensive and not newsworthy.(4) False Light - which is similar to the tort of defamation and not accepted in all jurisdictions.About our guest...Amy Gajda is recognized internationally for her expertise in privacy, media law, torts, and the law of higher education; her scholarship explores the tensions between social regulation and First Amendment values. Gajda’s first book, The Trials of Academe (Harvard 2009), examines public oversight of colleges and universities and its impact on academic freedom. Her later work draws on insights from her many years as an award-winning journalist and focuses on the shifting boundaries of press freedoms, particularly in light of the digital disruption of traditional media and rising public anxieties about the erosion of privacy. Her second book, The First Amendment Bubble: How Privacy and Paparazzi Threaten a Free Press (Harvard 2015), explores these boundaries in the context of judicial oversight of journalistic news judgment. Gajda is presently at work on a third book, The Secret History of the Right to Privacy, under contract with Viking and slated to be published in 2021. Her upcoming book, tentatively titled The Secret History of the Right To Privacy will be published by Viking Press.

In this episode...Professor John Humbach, Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law discusses the notion that crime is caused by culpable mental states (such as intentions) and describes how criminal justice could be different if we stopped focusing so much on assigning "blame" and paid more attention to how we can best prevent crimes from happening in the first place. Some key Takeways...1. 25% of American adults have criminal records.2. 30% are of young people are arrested by the time they are 23.3. Our criminal justice system focuses is flawed because it continues to punish based on traditional notions of blameworthiness.4. Punishment would be much more effective if it took into account more modern findings of neuroscience.About our guest… Professor John Humbach is a professor of law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law where he teaches, among other subjects, Criminal Law, Property and Professional Responsibility.

In this episode, Mike Cohn, Founder, and President of Berkley Development shares his own journey out of the law. He begins with a fateful phone call that took him out of the litigation practice he spent three years preparing for and into real estate, a practice area he knew nothing about, but ended up being ideal. Mike has the benefit of perspective and shares with us his first-hand understanding that one’s first job out of law school is likely to look nothing like the jobs you hold down the road. Some key takeaways are...1. The law that interests you when you enter law school is not necessarily the law that interests you when you leave.2. After your first job, your work product becomes your resume.3. Acquire mentors. Different mentors are helpful for different reasons.4. Envision your life in 5-7 years and then work backward. What steps must you take to reach that 5-7 year goal?

In this episode, Ellie Margolis, Professor of Law at the Beasley Law School at Temple University discusses some common pitfalls students face in their legal writing and analysis classes. We share a deep respect for legal writing and agree that legal writing courses are among the most important and most relevant classes you will take while in law school. Some key takeaways are: 1. Don’t wait until the last minute to write your paper. A good memorandum requires revisions.2. Don’t be adversarial, be honest.3. Write to your intended audience.4. Follow samples of good writing.5. And my favorite: Don’t write a book report. DO NOT describe cases, use cases to make your argument. About our guest…Professor Margolis is a published expert on appellate brief writing and advocacy.

In this episode...Professor Michael Mushlin, Professor of Law, at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University responds to one of the most perplexing issues for law students: How do the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure fit within the Civil Procedure class framework. This episode is essential for any student studying Civil Procedure. Some key takeaways are: 1. The Rules Cover the Waterfront (that they apply to everything) 2.
