Brett Knight has spent his career standing in the space between justice and grace. A former criminal defence attorney who later became an ordained pastor and author, Brett has watched the drug epidemic up close from both sides of the courtroom. In this conversation with Rodney Olsen, he traces his own faith journey from head knowledge to a genuine relationship with Christ, and shares the pivotal moment as a prosecutor when he asked God to let him see addiction the way God sees it. Brett's book, From the Gavel to Grace, grew out of hundreds of real encounters with people trapped in addiction, and the families desperate for answers. In this episode he unpacks the true meaning of tough love, the boundaries that protect without abandoning, the reasons churches often struggle to welcome people in recovery, and the "sin snobbery" that keeps many of us from extending the grace we've received ourselves. Alongside stories of heartbreaking loss, Brett offers real accounts of restoration that continue to fuel his conviction that no one is beyond reach. Brett Knight's Website
From lucrative overseas deals to secret "special projects," the Trump sons are pulling in massive paydays—even without traditional jobs. But while congressional oversight aims to shine a bright light on this high-level wheeling and dealing, voters are left asking a crucial question: Is exposing political self-enrichment enough to actually help working Americans?Michael Steele dives into a sharp breakdown of how family members profit off political power, what a shift in House leadership means for investigating foreign business ties, and why true accountability requires leaders to lower your everyday costs—not just put on a show with subpoenas.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Treat AI like a brilliant entry-level employee. AI tools are incredibly knowledgeable (having “read everything on the internet”), but they work best when given clear context, iterated on, and never blindly trusted as a source of truth. Think of each new conversation as their first day on the job.* Use a structured, perspective-driven prompt. Always tell the AI who you are, who your client is, what document is being analyzed, and from whose perspective. This prevents generic, both-sides analysis and produces targeted, actionable output.* Run the same analysis across multiple AI tools. Using Paxton (legal-specific), Gemini Notebook (broad research), and Perplexity (internet + multi-model) in parallel surfaces different insights. Each tool catches things the others may miss, providing a more comprehensive review in minutes rather than hours.* Iterate the output and don't stop at the first result. After the initial analysis, follow up with prompts like “draft this as a letter to my client” or “simplify the language.” This refines the output into polished, client-ready work product without starting from scratch.* Always verify citations against the source document. Tools like Paxton and Gemini Notebook link their analysis points back to the specific clauses they reference. Always click through and read the actual contract language, trust but verify, since AI is not infallible and your legal judgment is still essential.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Charlie Dunn // Exodus 34:5-8
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* AI is reshaping the legal industry across all levels. From law schools mandating AI courses to federal judges using AI tools, adoption is broad and not limited to younger generations. Jon expected a generational divide but found AI enthusiasm cuts across all age groups.* Private equity is entering big law, but firms are cautious. PE interest in law firms is growing, with firms exploring structures like MSOs (Management Service Organizations) to separate legal practice from operations. However, no major big law firm has publicly accepted PE investment, yet most are waiting to see who goes first.* Billing structures are shifting away from the billable hour. AI is driving efficiency (tasks that took hours now take minutes), pushing firms and clients toward flat fees and AFAs. One AM Law 100 firm's top three clients are already on flat fees. The shift is practice-area dependent, not a blanket change.* Law firms are generating new revenue by advising clients on AI. AI has created an entirely new category of legal work: advising clients on their own AI-related issues, regulations, and compliance. Data center practices are also booming due to AI infrastructure demand.* Regulatory arbitrage is a key factor. Jurisdictions vary widely. Arizona eliminated its Rule 5.4 prohibition on non-lawyer ownership, and the UK did so even earlier, making them more progressive markets. Global firms must navigate different rules across jurisdictions, and the US may eventually follow suit, with some firms setting 2030 as a target year for significant structural change.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Human intelligence still matters: AI raises the floor for everyone, but curation, taste, and expertise are the irreplaceable human skills that will differentiate you in an AI-saturated world.* Don't accept default output: Iterating with AI tools, going back and forth, refining, and personalizing, produces far better results than accepting whatever the first draft delivers.* Use purpose-built tools for the right job: No single tool does everything well, so curating the right AI tool for each specific task (research, drafting, learning, client explainers) is essential.* Ground AI in your own sources: Tools like NotebookLM (now known as Gemini Notebook) that answer only from sources you provide are more accurate and trustworthy than relying on general training data, especially for legal work.* Build a second brain: Curating a personal knowledge base from your own materials, past work, and expertise gives you a searchable, queryable resource that extends and supplements your own memory and judgment.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* The billable hour damages client relationships. Stuart's core message is that charging by the hour makes clients afraid to pick up the phone, meaning they only call when things have already gone wrong, making prevention impossible and the relationship transactional.* Fixed fees and phased billing are a practical starting point. Rudner Law has moved to phase-based fixed fees for litigation (e.g., a flat fee for the negotiation phase, then a separate fee for pleadings), giving clients cost certainty without requiring lawyers to price an entire matter upfront.* Subscription models work for proactive legal work. Stuart described offering subscription-based services where clients receive quarterly contract and policy updates as employment law evolves, reducing risk and creating ongoing and predictable revenue for the firm.* AI is accelerating the shift away from hourly billing. Stuart uses ChatGPT, Claude, and Thomson Reuters' Co-Counsel to dramatically speed up research and document review. He acknowledged that billing by the hour makes no sense when AI can do 85% of the work in minutes, which makes value-based billing not just preferable but necessary.* The subscription conversation requires a new kind of client dialogue. Unlike the billable hour where the only discussion is the rate, subscriptions require transparent upfront conversations about what's included, what's not, usage limits, and the ability to cancel. This is a shift that Stuart sees as ultimately building deeper, more trusting client relationships.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Perplexity Enterprise is a cost-effective, secure AI hub for lawyers. At $400/year, it provides SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance while giving access to multiple top AI models without needing separate subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.* The Comet Browser unlocks agentic workflows that let AI control your browser on your behalf. By clicking “Control Browser,” you can instruct Perplexity to navigate websites, fill out forms, and complete tasks like adding calendar events without you lifting a finger.* Connectors (MCPs) let Perplexity directly read and write to tools like Google Calendar and Drive. Once connected, the AI can bulk-schedule deadlines from case management orders or contracts by computing dates itself using its Wolfram Alpha integration.* AI can handle contract redlining and document drafting in stages, with the lawyer staying in the loop. By combining Paxton for legal analysis with Perplexity's agentic browser to apply suggested edits in Google Docs, attorneys can maintain judgment and oversight while offloading manual work.* Whisprflow enables voice-driven input across all apps for around $288/year. Speaking instead of typing, with the AI intelligently cleaning up dictation errors, dramatically speeds up the process of giving instructions to AI tools throughout the day.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Subscription model beats fee-splitting for attorney networks. Overture transitioned from taking a fee split on referrals to a $49/month membership, giving attorneys more of the pie, more flexibility, and removing financial friction from sharing work.* The platform's value goes beyond referrals. Arya discovered attorneys were using Overture for mentorship, co-counsel relationships, and general connectivity, not just referrals. The platform evolved to serve that broader purpose.* Keep posting costs free, charge for taking work. The two-sided marketplace logic: it costs nothing to post work (to keep supply flowing), only $49/month to respond and take on work, making it as easy as possible for attorneys to refer clients they can't serve.* Human connection is irreplaceable, even as AI transforms law. AI will increase efficiency and compress some roles, but the attorneys who will thrive are those who combine technology with genuine client relationships. People want a person using technology, not technology alone.* Community size drives platform value. Keeping pricing accessible is intentional. Growing the network matters more than maximizing subscription revenue. A larger, more diverse attorney community (currently 6,000+) makes it possible to find the right specialist anywhere in the country, which is the platform's core promise.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

The First Amendment gives you an absolute right to believe whatever you want. It has never given you the right to act on those beliefs in ways that harm others. That distinction, simple as it sounds, is the one that the religious right has spent decades trying to erase, and it is the distinction that Professor Marci A. Hamilton has spent her entire career defending. Marci is a Professor of Practice in Political Science and a Non-Resident Senior Fellow in the Program for Research on Religion at the University of Pennsylvania, where she specializes in constitutional law. Marci is an intellectual leader against extreme religious liberty. She is the founder of CHILD USA, a nonprofit academic think tank dedicated to protecting children from abuse and neglect, and a leading national expert on clergy sex abuse and child sex abuse statutes of limitation, which she ran for a decade. The core argument of God vs. the Gavel is one that sounds obvious until you see how hard it is to actually enforce: religious organizations, like every other institution, must obey the law. No mandatory exemption. No special carve-out because a leader claims divine authority. Marci put it plainly: the very first free exercise case in United States history established that belief is absolute, but conduct is not. Conduct can harm others, and a functioning democracy does not allow anyone to use religion as a shield against accountability for harm. The cases that matter, she told me, are always about harm. Psychological harm is real. You only need to sit with a child sex abuse survivor once to understand that. This is a most important conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Not using AI may soon be malpractice. Marc raised this argument as early as May 2023 in CLEs for the Beverly Hills Bar Association that lawyers who fail to leverage AI tools may be falling below the professional standard of competence required under ethics rules.* Hourly billing is bad for clients and bad for lawyers. Marc argues it creates a direct disincentive to efficiency, discourages proactive communication, and undermines the “team” dynamic between lawyer and client. Flat-rate/subscription billing aligns incentives and lets lawyers actually practice law rather than manage time entries.* AI has commoditized contract drafting, so what clients now pay for is availability and judgment. The skill of writing or redlining contracts has been democratized by AI. The real value a lawyer provides today is being a trusted, always-available team member who brings experienced final-eyes review and sound judgment. Not raw document production.* Jevons Paradox applies to AI productivity. AI makes tasks faster, so we simply take on more tasks. Time savings don't actually reduce workload. Marc stresses the need for discipline to avoid “catastrophic analysis paralysis” from iterating endlessly with AI tools.* AI nationalization/restriction is a serious near-term risk. Marc's biggest concern isn't the long-term future (which he sees as positive) but the transition period. He worries AI could be nationalized or heavily restricted by governments, similar to how nuclear technology was controlled, before society fully adapts.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

The Gavel or the Garden | Derrick Hudson | Calvary Church
In January 2023, Kevin McCarthy endured five grueling days and 15 rounds of balloting to win the Speaker's gavel — the most dramatic Speaker's race in a century. John Leganski was at the center of it all. As McCarthy's Deputy Chief of Staff and the youngest floor director in House history, he watched up close as a small band of "Never Kevins" brought the People's House to a standstill. Now he's written the definitive inside account: Glory, Grief, and the Gavel. Leganski joins Newt — himself a former Speaker — for a candid conversation about the "Maybe Kevins" versus the "Never Kevins," the last-minute phone call where President Trump unleashed a private tirade, the emotional moment the gavel was finally won, and how the very coalition that delivered the speakership ultimately destroyed it nine months later.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* AI is flipping the 80/20 rule in law. Historically, lawyers spent 80% of their time on document analysis and 20% on strategy. Thomas expects that to reverse, with AI handling the heavy data work, lawyers will spend 80% of their time on high-value strategy and client advising.* Generic AI tools aren't enough for law firms. Tools like ChatGPT or Claude alone are insufficient for professional legal work. Law firms need purpose-built platforms with legal-specific guardrails, secure data handling, and end-to-end workflows (intake, drafting, discovery, scheduling), not just a contract reviewer.* Being model-agnostic is a competitive advantage. August runs multiple frontier models simultaneously (Claude, Gemini, GPT, etc.) and selects the best one for each task. This “above the model layer” approach gives law firms better results than relying on any single AI provider.* The billable hour won't disappear but pricing models are evolving. Thomas recommends a hybrid approach: flat fees for defined task tiers (small/medium/large matters) combined with a variable billable component. He cautions against firms jumping to full subscription pricing too quickly without first proving the ROI.* AI enables small firms to compete at a higher level. With AI, smaller law firms can now take on work that was previously cost-prohibitive, like due diligence on a $2–3M M&A deal, by compressing tasks from 30 hours to 2. This allows firms to expand their practice areas and serve clients faster and at higher quality.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Ditch the billable hour and subscriptions reward efficiency. Asia found that billing by the hour penalized attorneys for being fast and good. Subscription billing lets her charge for expertise, not time, and motivates real efficiency across her whole team.* Tiered pricing and clear scope are essential. A flat subscription without defined tiers is too vague. Asia recommends building tiered packages with explicit scope in the retainer agreement, especially in family law, where cases can unexpectedly go litigious and pricing needs to adjust accordingly.* AI accelerates the work but prompting matters. Asia is actively using AI tools (Clio, Copilot, and others) to move faster, but emphasizes that vague prompts yield poor results. Treat AI like a team member: give it specific, detailed instructions to get useful output.* A tech stack is non-negotiable for running a subscription firm. She runs her firm with Clio (case management + portal), Trello (task management), Notion (SOPs/knowledge base), Loom (async team communication), and Microsoft Teams all integrated to keep a small team running like a larger one.* Recurring revenue changes everything for the business. Having predictable monthly income allowed Asia to invest in an office, a team of six, the right tools, and gave her the confidence to grow. She advises family law attorneys to start with post-divorce compliance subscriptions as an easier on-ramp before applying it to active litigation.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump another major legal setback, delivering rulings that pack significant consequences.Underwhelming. That seems to be the consensus of attendees of The Great American State Fair. It's President Trump's official 250th-anniversary celebration on the National Mall going on through July. The fair was organized by Freedom 250, that's the Trump administration-created group that seemed formed to compete with the congressionally established America250 organization. Most states participated, but Maine, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania refused to send delegations, citing costs, scheduling conflicts, and politicization concerns. Other states left their booths unstaffed, with visitors finding empty displays at Hawaii and Alaska. From the sparse crowds to the half-empty booths, the fair highlights a fractured nation struggling to celebrate together. iHeart political analyst Gary Dietrich will stop by to talk politics. *programming note: Sarah Kendzior will be on the show Tuesday this week instead of her usual Monday.The Mark Thompson Show 6/29/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Automate what employees hate, not just what's time-consuming. AK's core philosophy is to identify the tasks employees despise, like intake calls with distressed, unqualified leads, and automate those first. The goal isn't just efficiency; it's preventing burnout.* AI intake should pre-qualify leads so human staff only talk to high-quality prospects. Lawgical's AI intaker handles the top-of-funnel calls, filters out poor-fit leads, and only passes high-converting leads to human team members; boosting morale and close rates.* Billable hours are broken; subscription/value-based pricing is the future. AK strongly advocates moving away from hourly billing toward pricing based on the value delivered. It gives firms more revenue predictability, better financial planning, and almost always results in higher earnings.* Build organic brand trust before relying on ads. Law firms that invest in consistent educational content on social media generate inbound leads who already trust them, which are far more effective and less expensive than running ads that come across as desperate.* Don't be afraid to pivot; embrace change as improvement. AK's own company pivoted from automating visa filing to intake/lead engagement. Her advice: find early believers, experiment constantly, and talk to your customers regularly, because if you're not evolving, you'll lose over time.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Ben Domenech breaks down the political fallout from the Trump administration's Iran MOU, why the deal is drawing skepticism from Republicans, and what it could mean for the GOP coalition heading into the midterms. Then, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr joins Ben to discuss Disney, broadcast licenses, and whether the show qualifies as a bona fide news program. Ben also talks with John Leganski, author of "Glory, Grief, and the Gavel," about Kevin McCarthy's rise and fall, the motion to vacate, and why Congress feels broken.

Join Kosta and his guest: Brett Knight, criminal defense attorney, pastor and author of From the Gavel to Grace: Setting People Free From Addiction and Into Healing. In this episode: The symptoms of addiction begin long before the actual addiction. We've hosted many guests in and around the recovery community, and the throughline is: there's always more to the story. What do you hope readers will learn about the complexity of both addiction and recovery? One of the central themes of From the Gavel to Grace is that punishment alone fails. Alternatively, compassion without structure collapses. Accountability and mercy aren't opposites. As an attorney and pastor, what do you wish more people understood about what it actually takes to change behavior? The book speaks to three very different audiences: families, the legal system, and the faith community. Did you find the message had to evolve depending on who you were writing to, or is the core the same for all three?Find out more about Brett Knight:https://brettknight.com/Purchase From the Gavel to Grace: Setting People Free From Addiction and into Healing on Amazon:https://amzn.to/4ahC5WWBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Miss Sallie's Market.Find out more about Miss Sallie's Market:https://www.misssallies.com
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Lawyers need an AI strategy and policy first. Before adopting any tools, firms must have a written AI policy, even if it simply says no tools are approved yet. Without one, a staff member using an unapproved (non-enterprise) AI tool can cause an ethical breach if client data ends up in model training.* Stick to two AI tools, not a dozen. Jennifer recommends picking one AI within your existing workspace (Copilot if on Microsoft, Gemini if on Google) plus one secondary tool for drafting or checking work. Chasing every new model is counterproductive. Depth beats breadth.* Document infrastructure is the real foundation. Before AI can be useful, a firm's documents need to be organized, accessible, and OCR'd where necessary. Getting documents into a state where an AI can actually “talk” to them is the unglamorous but critical first step.* Claude (especially via Claude Code/Cowork) is the top recommendation for legal writing. For transactional work requiring a long context window, Jennifer sees Claude as unmatched. She's actively installing Claude's Cowork integration for clients, who are amazed at its ability to handle contract redlines directly in their workflow.* AI increases productivity but also workload. Jennifer invokes Jevons' Paradox: AI tools make lawyers faster, but that extra time tends to get filled with more work. The real win is choosing intentionally: take on more clients, deepen client relationships, or bill at a higher rate, rather than just working more hours.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Going solo requires proving your own value. Stephen emphasizes that attorneys who rely solely on a firm's name have “borrowed value.” Going out on your own, and actually generating revenue and clients, is the real proof of marketability and professional worth.* Client quality over quantity. Early on, Stephen learned to fire bad clients: those who don't pay, don't cooperate, or ask you to act unethically. You can't build a sustainable practice on a foundation of problematic clients, and protecting your license and reputation comes first.* Build your own AI workflows rather than relying on generic tools. Stephen moved away from consumer chatbots (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT) toward IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf, and built ~80 of his own MCPs (Model Context Protocol integrations). Custom-built workflows tailored to your specific practice are far more powerful and secure than off-the-shelf solutions.* AI hallucination is a context problem, not just a model flaw. Stephen explains that AI “hallucinations” happen because the model lacks the right context window and fills gaps with plausible-sounding but fabricated information. The solution is connecting AI to reliable, specific data sources (like his custom Court Listener MCP) rather than letting it guess.* Start small and don't overspend on AI tools. Many expensive subscriptions are overkill for beginners. Stephen built a functional court case search tool for roughly 20 cents. His advice: start with a free or low-cost tier, learn the technology through hands-on experimentation, and only scale spending once you understand what you actually need.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Ditch hourly billing for subscriptions: Billing by the hour incentivizes inefficiency. Subscription and fixed-fee models align attorney success with client outcomes, rewarding speed and quality rather than time spent.* Sharpen your ax: Constantly grinding without pausing to strategize and refresh leads to burnout; taking deliberate time to improve your tools and thinking produces better long-term results.* AI accelerates legal work without replacing judgment: Purpose-built AI tools (like Paxton for legal research, Perplexity for internet research, and NotebookLM for document-based Q&A) drastically reduce the time to deliver high-quality work, but human expertise and context remain essential.* Pricing transparency builds client trust: Publishing your fees, engagement terms, and scope upfront removes friction, reduces client anxiety, and leads to better working relationships and faster conversions.* Context is everything: Whether working with AI tools or advising clients, providing full context yields dramatically better results. Give AI the same rich background you'd give a brilliant first-day employee.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* AI native law firms are built on aligned incentives. The billable hour model actively disincentivizes efficiency. General Legal charges a flat $500 per contract negotiation, so their interests align with the client's: get the deal done quickly and at high quality.* The AI efficiency gap in law is now enormous. Five years ago, AI might have improved legal workflows by 10–20%. Today, the gap between firms barely using AI and those using frontier LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) at every step is transformative. JP calls it a “massive, massive gap.”* Frontier AI models still need guardrails for legal work. Raw frontier models are overconfident and can produce legally reckless markups (e.g., zero liability caps, no indemnification). Using them “cold” without legal expertise and custom tooling can actually harm clients and kill deals.* The MSO structure unlocks outside investment for law firms. General Legal separates into a Delaware C Corp (the tech company, which takes VC investment from Y Combinator) and a California law firm (owned and overseen by barred attorneys). This structure lets non-lawyers invest in the technology layer while preserving ethical compliance on the legal side.* The billable hour has 3–5 years left as the dominant model. JP predicts it will die slowly due to law firms' structural resistance since profits are distributed annually rather than reinvested in efficiency. But AI-native firms and fixed-fee models will increasingly take market share, and the trend is irreversible.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* We're at a major inflection point in legal practice. Generative AI represents the second great technological shift in the legal profession (Lawyer 3.0), and unlike previous tools like Westlaw, it's fully democratized. Clients have access to the same AI tools as lawyers, fundamentally changing the power dynamic.* AI is shrinking the justice gap, but isn't a full replacement. 93% of low-income and 50% of middle-income Americans don't access lawyers for their legal problems. AI can help people recognize they have a legal issue and point them toward help, but AI hallucinations (1,000+ documented cases in legal filings) mean human lawyer oversight remains essential.* Hourly billing is increasingly incompatible with AI efficiency. If AI can compress 10 hours of work into 10 minutes, lawyers who bill by the hour face an ethical and practical dilemma. Using AI while billing full hourly rates may constitute an unreasonable fee, and the profession's standard of care will eventually require AI use, just as it now requires Westlaw over manual research.* The latent legal market is a massive, largely untapped opportunity. With $400B spent on the current US legal market and 77–93% of legal needs unmet, the potential untapped market is estimated at over $1.3 trillion. AI-forward, alternative-fee firms that serve this underserved population can scale by volume rather than hourly rates.* Lawyers should develop tiered, packaged service offerings. Rather than treating every case as bespoke, Brescia advocates for creating “plain vanilla” service packages for routine matters, letting lawyers triage clients to the right level of service (Model T vs. Maserati), reducing cost while maintaining quality and serving more people.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Preventive law is far cheaper than reactive law. Clients who try to DIY their legal needs (using LegalZoom, skipping contracts, etc.) often end up paying twice. Once for the mess they made and again to prevent it from recurring. Hiring a lawyer early and often saves money in the long run.* Subscription/flat-fee pricing aligns attorney and client incentives. Hourly billing creates distrust and discourages clients from calling when they should. Noel's model, flat fees for discrete projects, subscription fees for ongoing work, removes the “clock is ticking” anxiety and makes the attorney an accessible team member.* Client education is essential for subscription retention. It's not enough to deliver a service; clients must understand how to get ROI from it. Noel uses semi-annual workshops, legal growth blueprints, and ongoing engagement to ensure clients see the value and stick around.* Get paid upfront and use invoice financing to make it easier. Don't personally finance client tabs. Tools like LawPay (now 8AM) and Clio Payments, integrated with Affirm, let clients finance invoices over 6–36 months while the attorney gets paid in full immediately. Noel also recommends minimum initial terms (3–12 months depending on engagement size) to give both sides time to establish real value.* Don't get attached to any single AI tool. Noel recommends treating AI tools like a “chorus of experts.” Use multiple, stay flexible, and act as the conductor. The AI space is too dynamic to lock into long-term contracts with any one platform, and lawyers remain responsible for all AI-generated output.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Amanda Story who was last on Season 4, Episode 142, and Crystal Salazar Season 5, Episode 174. Today we discussed the major human rights issue in the United States — the fact that America still does not have a fully independent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) aligned with the UN Paris Principles, despite international efforts dating back to the 1990s. In 2023, the NHRI for USA campaign publicly pushed for the creation of one, and in 2025 the Institute for Advancement of Justice & Human Rights (IAJ) launched as an independent organization working toward human rights investigations, accountability, and advocacy surrounding issues such as family court abuses, CPS misconduct, disability rights, and systemic due process concerns. We talked about both the broader national implications and Crystal's personal experience — including her Texas CPS case, international human rights findings connected to her situation, and her current asylum journey to the UK — as part of a larger conversation about why independent human rights oversight in the U.S. matters.https://nhriforusa.org/abouthttps://www.iaj.institute/To Reach Amanda Story and Crystal Salazar: iajvolunteer2501@gmail.comTik tok @crystal.salazar04Texas Tribune Link: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/11/texas-foster-care-janis-jack-fifth-circuit/Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Lisa Goodpaster to the podcast. Lisa was last on Season 4, Episode 71 where we discussed her book, "Alienated, When Parents Won't Parent." Her work exposes a major gap in the frameworks used throughout the Parental Alienation space. The frameworks that are used in the courts to decide the child's best interest have never included a child's biology: the nervous system. That's no small oversight, IT IS A MASSIVE MISTAKE. Once parents understand the enormity of this, it becomes impossible not to see it.Today, we discussed why the biggest disruption in the child's biology has never been included in the courts.To Reach Lisa Goodpaster: alienatedbylisa@yahoo.com Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

We're all doing it. Sizing people up. Carrying other people's opinions like they're the final word. And turning on ourselves in ways we'd never treat another person.In this episode, Erin gets real about the hidden cost of critique; outward, inward, and everything in between. She unpacks why we go there, what it's really costing us, and how to break the cycle for good.It's time to put down the gavel. Your peace depends on it.

Has someone told you, “Don't judge me.” Or something like that? Are we to judge others? Paul makes it clear that he has already judged the man who is having sexual relations with his stepmom and he isn't even present! The church at Corinth was boasting about this sin instead of dealing with and Paul tells them to get rid of the leaven because it is affecting the entire lump of dough. Jesus talks about judging others. He says we will be judged by the same measure we judge others. What is that measure? It is the word of God! God has set the standard and guess what...we all fall short! We are all guilty and we all need a Redeemer!
