The 2026 “Above the Law” law school rankings just dropped. Unlike US News, Above the Law only ranks 50 schools and weighs employment outcomes almost exclusively. The result? Some schools rank much higher than expected while others fall despite their prestige.Also in this episode:- Advice on pass/fail courses from an academic advisor- The Department of Education lowers loan rates for borrowers- What to do in your last five minutes on RCStudy with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠Watch Episode 565 on YouTubeCheck out all of our “What's the Deal With” segmentsGet caught up with our ⁠Word of the Week⁠⁠ library0:00 Above the Law Rankings16:17 Pass/Fail Advice from Academic Advisor20:35 Department of Education Lowers Student Loan Rates33:31 Test D Question — Vocabulary48:30 LSAT Retake Advice from Dean Z1:02:53 Last 5 Minutes of Reading Comprehension1:09:39 Word of the week — abrogate

Mike Switzer interviews Jon Marcantel, dean of the Charleston School of Law.

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked pillars of children's health: not just what's in our food, but how it's made. Sharon shares her powerful origin story — born to a single mother with MS, watching chronic illness shape the world around her — and how that journey led her from law school to revolutionizing food manufacturing. Together, they unpack the truth about ultra-processed foods, the gap in processing transparency that even health-conscious parents miss, and why natural flavors aren't as safe as they sound. Sharon also breaks down FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology, the critical first 1,000 days of a child's life, and why their products are specifically formulated for kids on the autistic spectrum. This one will change how you read a food label — and how you stock your pantry.-----Links & Resources:Follow Sharon on Instagram: @sharonrosecryan and @foodnerdincLearn more and shop FoodNerd Products: www.foodnerdinc.com-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:07 Sharon's Origin Story: Born Into Chronic Illness 00:11 The Health Inequality Nobody Was Talking About 00:13 From Wanting to Be a Doctor to Law School 00:16 The FDA Isn't Protecting You — The Food Manufacturer Is 00:23 How to Actually Read a Food Label 00:25 It's Not Just the Ingredients, It's the Processing 00:28 The Dirty Truth About Natural Flavors 00:32 FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology Explained 00:38 The First 1,000 Days: The Most Critical Window of a Child's Life 00:48 Sulforaphane and Kids on the Autistic Spectrum-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Women and money is a conversation most people only have in private, if at all. Alicia Umpierre is a patent attorney with a Ph.D. in chemistry. She built her career with no family blueprint and no financial network to draw from. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten draws out the story behind the credentials. What emerges is the women and money conversation you know but rarely hear spoken out loud. Alicia grew up in Southern California not thinking about finances. No one around her had a Ph.D. She didn't even know what one was until college. Without mentors, she says she might still be testing wastewater in a lab in Ontario, California. People told her what was possible before she knew to ask. Her patent attorney career path didn't come from a plan. She followed what felt right. She left behind what didn't. A career change to law came from recognizing a dead end, not a vision. She passed the patent bar in two months, went back to school for her J.D. while raising a toddler, then had her second son during law school, and built a career most people don't even know exists. What Alicia is still working on is teaching kids about money the way she wishes she'd been taught. Her own financial goals now center on a question many women know well: how do you build wealth as a woman when you know what you have, but don't have a trusted network to help you decide what to do next? She watched her immigrant father work without rest his whole life. She doesn't want to do the same. Syama built Wealth Catalyst because women and money deserved a better conversation. If you're ready to be in the room where that conversation happens in person, the Freedom Tour salons are gathering women across 32 cities this year, and the Wealth Catalyst Summit comes to San Francisco this October.

You're very good at the law, but you're quietly drowning in everything that is not the law. There's a moment when that gap becomes impossible to ignore and almost no one talks about it.Gary Miles exposes that while law school perfectly equips lawyers to win in the courtroom, it completely omits the critical operating skills needed to manage workflow and protect focus. Gary explains how early success tricks lawyers into relying purely on raw capacity and willpower, an improvised strategy that inevitably collapses as their responsibilities scale over 15 to 20 years. By shifting from sheer effort to intentional practice architecture, senior partners can stop reacting to endless interruptions and reclaim their highest-value legal judgment. Listen for the three essential structural competencies that law school left out, access to a productivity assessment designed to identify exactly where your billable hours are leaking.

In this episode, we explore the transformative experience of law school clinics and their pivotal role in shaping the careers of aspiring lawyers. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from three exceptional graduates of Loyola Law School of Los Angeles' Ninth Circuit Clinic: Tina Kuang, Sydney Wong, and Molly Okamura. Under the guidance of our host, M.C. Sungaila, these talented alumni share their remarkable journeys, where they, along with their law school teammates, took on the challenge of briefing, arguing, and ultimately prevailing in immigration appeals before the esteemed Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Their stories exemplify how participation in law school clinics can sharpen legal skills, nurture professional growth, and accelerate careers in the legal arena.

A motorcycle breaks down in California. One microphone barely works. Law school is still waiting. And somehow, that becomes the episode.In this field-recorded conversation, Bobby and Steph talk through the messiness of travel, marriage, adventure, and trying to keep moving when the plan falls apart. The audio is imperfect, but the moment is real.Broken bike. Bad mic. Good story.Still practicing. Still learning. Still riding. Still between two teeth.

And a new ranking of top law schools. ------ Above the Law's Top 50 Law School rankings are out and a new school tops the list. But a number of other high prestige law schools have slipped out of the top 10... and it's mostly a matter of cost. Meanwhile, we have two federal judges out of control. Judge Ryan Nelson faces misdemeanor criminal charges over a parking lot altercation, which would be a bad look for a federal judge, but not nearly as egregious as his parking job. And we have more on the Eleanor Ross drama, after her initial "apology letters" went public and prompted the Eleventh Circuit to find a new opportunity to look the other way.

Paul Davies is a theoretical physicist and Regents' Professor at Arizona State University. Paul works on quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and cosmology, with emphasis on the origin and early stages of the universe, the quantum properties of black holes and the nature of time. He is interested in the nature and origin of life – including extraterrestrial life – beyond Earth, and in complex systems. In this episode of Robinson's Podcast, Paul and Robinson discuss the second revolution in quantum mechanics. Among other things, they dig into the origin of quantum theory, how we should interpret it, various quarks of quantum physics, such as teleportation and entanglement, quantum computing, and more. Paul's recent book is Quantum 2.0 (Pelican, 2025).Quantum 2.0: https://a.co/d/0ckzsWavOUTLINE00:00 Why Quantum Mechanics?11:59 How Should We Interpret Quantum Mechanics?22:22 Complexity and Quantum Theory30:59 What Will Be the Next Quantum Revolution?39:59 The Next Generation of Quantum Technology?49:47 Can Quantum Teleportation Move Macroscopic Objects?52:47 Supercomputers vs Quantum Computers01:04:16 The Fine-Tuning Problem?01:12:37 Do We Have a Scientific Theory of Life?Robinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University, where he is also a JD candidate in the Law School.

On this week's installment of How to Raise Your Agent, we welcome Daniel Solove into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. Daniel is the Bernard Professor of Intellectual Property & Technology Law at George Washington University Law School. David Greely sits down with Daniel to discuss how AI isn't so much opening up new problems in privacy, but exposing and amplifying the old ones – and how we need to change our legal approach to privacy to solve these problems and take us out of the digital fishbowl we find ourselves in.

Alex Murdaugh finished law school at the University of South Carolina in 1994. The judge who now holds his future finished at the same school in 1993. Twelve months apart, same building, same degree — and two lives that could not have run in more opposite directions. He walked into a family firm with a century of Lowcountry power behind it. She walked out with law books other people had to buy for her, opened a solo practice, and spent twenty-five years grinding before the General Assembly ever put her on the bench. Now those two paths collide in the biggest retrial this state has ever seen.If you've followed every turn of this case, this episode is your full briefing on Judge Debra McCaslin. We trace how Chief Justice Kittredge's order handed her exclusive control over every motion, every hearing, and the retrial itself. We dig into her real history with Dick Harpootlian — the shared office space, the video poker class action, the murder case where she refused to revoke his client's bond. And we look hard at the other side of her ledger: the triple-murder trial where she sentenced both defendants to life, and the DNA challenge she shut down that the appeals court later upheld.Then the stakes: McCaslin will decide whether this trial leaves Walterboro, how a death penalty demand gets handled if the Attorney General follows through, and how much of the financial-crimes evidence the next jury actually hears after the Supreme Court said the first jury heard far too much. Every road in this case now runs through one woman — and the Murdaugh name means nothing to her.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Ellis is one of the founders of "Christian Halls."  It's an alternative to our university system complete with all the accreditation that any other undergraduate or grad school would have.  Before our pervasive university system existed, if someone was interested in a craft, they'd go find someone who was good at it and apprentice under them. For thousands of years we educated our children like this.  The question is can we return to this method of education.

How many of us wondered at some point in our lives: "Should I go to law school?" It's a common question as one approaches college graduation. Students find themselves on that "moving walkway" toward the future: it will go forward, but at which stop should they get off? How can they pick a path on purpose—and not due to momentum? Heights upper school teacher Mark Grannis spent decades practicing law, even co-founding his own DC firm. Knowing many lawyers, one-day lawyers, and would-have-been lawyers in every stage of professional development, he noticed some patterns of discernment that genuinely helped people decide whether the law vocation was for them. This spring, he released Should You Go to Law School? Knowing How to Know, a guide that addresses law in particular and professional/vocational discernment in general. Mr. Grannis encourages people considering any career vocation to take stock of their academic and emotional talents, imagining where those can best be applied for the benefit of others.

Our speaker is Polk Wagner, who's the deputy dean of Penn Law School, who has been charged with figuring out how to adapt the law school curriculum to the AI revolution. I want to hear from Polk about how law schools will adapt as their graduate's jobs will no longer focus on document creation, but instead more complex legal analysis.This podcast was taped at a conference that I hosted so many of the questions will be asked by my friends. And in the audience was David Stellings, who's the managing partner of law firm Leif Cabreze. I want to learn from David about how AI would change the structure of law firms as the work process will need to change and I want to find out if the by the hour billing practice will end and what will replace it.I also want to hear from my friends who use legal services about how they plan to use AI to negotiate contracts, to understand complex legal agreements, and to draft documents that previously would have been delegated to their attorneys.

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Supreme Court rebuffed the Trump Administration's "emergency" request to revoke temporary protected status for half a million Haitian and Syrian nationals. It granted cert before judgment and set oral argument for April.   The DOJ dropped charges against Jay Carey, a veteran who burned a flag in Lafayette Park to protest Trump's executive order purporting to ban flag-burning.   In Massachusetts, Judge Brian Murphy blocked HHS Secretary Kennedy's attempt to rewrite the child and adult vaccine schedules.   And the Justice Department keeps lowering the bar in an effort to get lawyers willing to sign on to burn down their reputations in service of the Trump agenda.   MAIN SHOW:   We discuss US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro's crashout over the implosion of her retaliatory investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Judge Boasberg quashed the subpoenas, saying that there was no reason at all to think Powell committed a crime.   The Judicial Conference is making it slightly easier for criminal defendants to secure representation. They're also going to war with the General Services Administration, the world's worst landlord.   The Live Nation trial continues, without the government. Andrew's got a deep dive into the Tunney Act and a similar antitrust case blown up by the Trump DOJ under pressure from well-connected lobbyists. These people made us agree with Laura Loomer — RUDE!

Why would a leading law school ban AI entirely while other countries are giving every citizen access to ChatGPT? In this news-focused episode, Ray and Dan unpack some of the biggest developments shaping AI and education around the world. They discuss China's new national AI education strategy, Malta's ambitious "AI for All" programme, Harvard's expansion of student AI access, and Anthropic's $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation. The conversation explores a controversial decision by the University of California, Berkeley School of Law to prohibit AI use in assessed work, raising important questions about judgement, employability, and the future role of AI in professional education. They also examine new research on how people are actually using AI, why Australian students' digital literacy is falling despite increased screen time, and what educators can learn from a high-profile academic integrity case involving an AI-assisted newspaper article. Finally, they highlight Jason La Greca's excellent framework for testing and stress-testing educational chatbots before they are deployed to students.

In this episode, Kaleb shares his perspective on our age-gap relationship, and honestly… it was such a sweet and vulnerable conversation. We talked about what it was like dating someone older, navigating different life stages, and handling outside opinions while trying to build a healthy, God-centered relationship. We also opened up about purity, past relationships, healing from trauma, and how grace completely changed the way we approached each other's stories. Kaleb shares why ambition, accountability, and emotional maturity mattered more to him than age, and we talk honestly about what to look for before pursuing an age-gap relationship. We also got real about marriage, career dreams, law school, social media pressures, and learning how to grow with each other instead of expecting perfection from day one. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your past does not define you, God's grace is bigger than your mistakes, and every relationship story is going to look different. And that's okay!

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.
