Lawyers love legal reasoning. It promises a clean, clear path through sticky, tricky territory. But legal reasoning can enable grotesque real-world outcomes, like torture, or arresting journalists, or masked government agents detaining and disappearing people. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is in conversation with Joseph Margulies, Professor of Practice of Government at Cornell University. Margulies litigated some of the biggest cases of egregious human rights violations of the post-9/11 “War on Terror”, an experience that informed his recent piece in the Boston Review: The Moral Stupefaction of America. Margulies explains how, when we allow obscure legal language to overshadow moral imperatives, we can end up in very dark places. The line from waterboarding at black sites to executing American citizens in the streets is a straight one. And there will be a lawyer willing to write a memo for all of it. Want more Amicus?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to hire new talent? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer Live, host Tyson Mutrux explores the challenges law firms face when hiring and onboarding associate attorneys. Tyson discusses the need for documented standards, regular feedback, and patience, highlighting that onboarding is a long-term investment in future capacity—not instant output.Hiring for law firms can be challenging, but it is important to understand onboarding and to have realistic expectations. This includes the concept of output versus capacity. When you hire new attorneys, you are not seeing instant capacity or input. You are buying future capacity. A new associate needs time to understand your core values and both learn and unlearn certain skills and tools. As a law firm owner, it is important to give someone the space to grow into a successful attorney.Defining success is very important when hiring new attorneys, especially if you want to retain your talent. It is your responsibility to define what success looks like. Think about what it looks like at the 30, 60 and 180 day mark. If this is expressed to your new attorneys, you can work with them to ensure they meet that mark. It is also important to not move the goalpost at all. This can really lead to new hires losing confidence in their ability to do well, causing them to leave to find other opportunities. Take a listen!1:19 Expectations of Onboarding7:08 The First 30 Days in a New Role.14:14 The “Why” Behind Firm Processes18:55 Hiring Experienced Attorneys22:04 The Importance of Defining Success Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

The prosecution's case against Michael McKee looks strong on paper. But every case has weaknesses. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis reveals the defense playbook in the Monique Tepe and Spencer Tepe murder case.McKee waived his bail hearing—a strategic choice Eric explains in detail. The real battle happens before trial, in the motions that will determine what evidence the jury ever sees.The affidavit alleges McKee strangled Monique and forced sex on her during their marriage. That was never reported to police. Never prosecuted. Eric breaks down the defense motion to exclude that testimony and analyzes whether it has a realistic chance of succeeding under Ohio law.The hearsay problem is massive. Witnesses say Monique told them McKee made death threats, said she'd "always be his wife," said he'd find her wherever she went. Monique is dead. She can't testify. The defense will argue those statements are inadmissible. Eric explains the legal battle and which side has the advantage.Then there's the evidence the defense probably can't exclude. The cell phone that went dark during the murder window. The surveillance footage allegedly showing McKee at the property three weeks before. The vehicle tracking data. Eric reveals the innocent explanations the defense might offer—and whether any of them are believable.If McKee can't walk out the front door, what does a defense "win" look like? Eric explains the path to lesser charges and what negotiation might be possible in a case with this much publicity.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TrueCrimeToday #DefenseStrategy #CriminalDefense #ReasonableDoubt #OhioMurder #MurderTrial #MurderDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comThanks to all of you who joined us last night for our first experiment with Substack's live video feature! After reviewing the questions that you left for us last week, we got to tackling a few of them—Hightower gave advice to Maria in Wyoming, who's frustrated with calling her Republican representatives, and the role of grassroots organizing in red states. We also got to hear some big stories about tiny airplanes (thanks, Shira!), and Hightower's opinion about why some elected Democrats are loud and proud, while a lot of senators have not been taking strong action against the fascist invasion and occupation of many cities in the US, which was Fred's question. Richard asked about a left-wing “Project 2025,” and as part of that answer, Hightower gave a rough estimate of how old Ralph Nader is— not to be missed.We ironed out a few of the initial technical glitches, by the way, and I'm also working on making sure comments from everyone are enabled for the next live event, because we really missed hearing your live feedback! Let us know what your favorite parts were in the comments. Thanks again for watching!

The recent fatal shootings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota shook the nation and the world. In recent months, the tactics and actions of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE,  have reached a boiling point in communities and have come under scrutiny for the treatment of civilians. In response, many  have taken to the streets to protest. With the Trump administration's mission to deport dangerous criminals, a recent internal ICE policy specifically allowed agents to go door to door without a judicial warrant, in direct contradiction to the Fourth Amendment (unreasonable searches and seizures by the government). As protestors lined the streets, an individual's First Amendment rights—freedom of speech and assembly in particular—were also under attack.  Are we currently witnessing the shredding of the U.S Constitution and the rule of law?  Will there be investigations into the actions of ICE? Will the legislative branch step in? On this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, Craig joins David Cole, Professor in Law and Public Policy at Georgetown Law and former National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Craig & David discuss the legalities behind the actions of ICE, the constitutional rights of individuals who encounter ICE agents, the recent tragedies in Minnesota surrounding ICE agents and civilians, and the overall impact these actions are having on the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.

There are so many subtle and not-subtle ways to disrespect other people. When I do it, I can feel the boomerang effect of disrespect. It creates a field. I feel like we're seeing that play out in Minnesota, in Washington, in the world. It's a terrible thing.There's only one way I know to be truly respectful: see everyone, including myself, as worthy of my patience, generosity, and love. Listen. Care. When I practice those qualities, I feel positive reverberations. And who knows how far out they flow?And yes, there are people I want to leave out of that flow. I want to, but I feel like it would be better not to. I feel like it would be better to find a way to see them as worthy, too, all evidence to the contrary. Because what if no one has ever done that - seen them as worthy? What kind of pain are they carrying? And isn't that what they're sharing, and what we're seeing play out? Which is also a terrible thing.Honestly, I feel like we have some real power, still, as lawyers and judges and law students and law professors. The power to stand our ground, protect our democracy, stand up for the rule of law. So the question on my mind is, will we use that power? And the other question is, how?

Breaking down the defense strategy in the Michael McKee case.The vascular surgeon accused of killing Monique and Spencer Tepe in their Columbus home has retained Diane Menashe — arguably Ohio's most successful defense attorney. Her resume includes walking Dr. William Husel after 14 murder charges and saving multiple clients from death row against overwhelming evidence.Today on True Crime Today, we analyze what Menashe might do with a case that looks unwinnable on paper. The ballistics match through NIBIN that defense attorneys know isn't courtroom-proof science. The murky Ring camera footage that could become a battle of experts. The eight-year gap between McKee's divorce and the alleged murders that complicates the premeditation narrative. And McKee's documented spiral — malpractice suits he allegedly dodged with fake addresses, an expired medical license, colleagues saying he "just disappeared" — that could support a diminished capacity argument.Prosecutors haven't disclosed a motive. They've called it "targeted domestic violence" but haven't explained why a surgeon would drive 325 miles to kill an ex-wife who left him eight years ago. Menashe will exploit that gap.McKee isn't fighting for acquittal. He's fighting to avoid the harshest sentence — life without parole versus life with parole eligibility after 32 years. That's the game now.The Tepe children — ages 4 and 1 — were in the house that night. They'll grow up without their parents. And the man accused of taking them has hired the best defense money can buy.#TrueCrimeToday #MichaelMcKee #TepeCase #DianeMenashe #SpencerTepe #MoniquTepe #CrimeNews #MurderTrial #DefenseStrategy #BreakingCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two murder cases. Two very different defense strategies. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down both.Aaron Spencer's trial just got a new judge after the Arkansas Supreme Court removed Barbara Elmore for constitutional violations—the second time in seven months. Spencer faces second-degree murder for killing Michael Fosler, the man out on bond for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter. The defense is arguing he saved his child. The prosecution has prior statements suggesting premeditation. And now a retired judge from the other side of the state is inheriting the most divisive case in Arkansas.Michael McKee pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. His lawyer is Diane Menashe—who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen ICU murders by calling one witness and watching the state's case crumble. The prosecution has ballistics, surveillance, vehicle tracking, a suppressor. Menashe doesn't present defenses. She destroys prosecutions.Bob Motta analyzes both cases: what judicial removal means for Spencer, how to defend a father who killed his daughter's alleged abuser, whether Menashe's Husel playbook works against different evidence, and what both cases tell us about murder defense strategy in high-profile trials.#BobMotta #TrueCrimeToday #AaronSpencer #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #JudgeElmore #DianeMenashe #MurderDefense #HuselAcquittal #DefenseStrategyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who needs advice on leading a team in a crisis? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, attorney and law firm owner Tiffany Webber shares the profound personal and professional impact of her law partner's sudden passing. She recounts the immediate aftermath, the challenges of leading her firm through crisis, and the lessons learned about resilience, leadership, and preparation. Tiffany shares her insights on leading a firm amidst losing a loved one. One thing is having the skill to be calm under pressure. You can't control when someone close to you passes, but you can control yourself and your reaction to something. As a lawyer, people come to you with answers, so it is important to know when to remain calm and collected. Another thing to have is a bias for action. Many people will sit back and analyze. They will wait to make a decision when they have received all the answers. But, in this field, you will never always have every piece of information. Sometimes, you need to make decisions in the moment with what you have.Having a good leadership team is crucial, especially when you as the owner have a lot of things on their plate. Other leaders in the firm can not only support you by taking on the additional load, but you can lean on them for support. Also, if you don't know something about a topic, having others as subject matter experts can be such an advantage. This also helps with succession planning, so someone can take over while you focus on other things.Listen in to learn more!2:06 Survival Guide for a Crisis4:12 Bias for Action12:03 Facing Discomfort18:00 Creating a Good Leadership Team20:46 Letting the Right People InConnect with Tiffany:Website Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins me for a two-part legal breakdown of the biggest murder case developments this week.First: Aaron Spencer. The Arkansas Supreme Court removed Judge Barbara Elmore from his second-degree murder trial—the second time they've reversed her on constitutional grounds in seven months. Spencer killed Michael Fosler, the man out on bond for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter. Now a retired judge is taking over, prior rulings could be reconsidered, and the defense has to figure out how to counter Rule 404(b) statements about what Spencer said he'd do if Fosler came near his daughter again.Second: Michael McKee. He pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. His lawyer is Diane Menashe—the same attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen ICU patient murders by calling one witness. The prosecution has ballistics, surveillance, vehicle tracking, and a suppressor. Menashe doesn't present defenses. She dismantles prosecutions.Bob Motta breaks down both cases. What judicial removal means for Spencer. How defense-of-others works against premeditation evidence. Whether Menashe can replicate the Husel strategy against different evidence. Two murder trials. Two defense approaches.

Law school prepares students to think like lawyers, but it often leaves them without a clear picture of what comes next. Zack Glaser sits down with Jocelyn Hardrick to explore how mentorship, pipeline programs, and practical guidance can help first-generation and nontraditional students bridge the gap between legal education and real-world practice.  They unpack the challenges students face when they lack exposure to legal careers, the importance of writing and bar preparation support, and how community and accountability shape confidence during the transition into the profession. The episode highlights how intentional mentorship and community support can reduce uncertainty, build confidence, and create clearer pathways into the legal profession.  Listen to our other episodes on mentorship, mindset, and professional development.   Episode #596 — The Athlete's Mindset for Lawyers, with Jess Sargus Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #592 — Client Care, Culture, and Character: A Framework for Great Leaders, with William O'Neal Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #588 — Practice Smarter, Not Harder: 411 Tips for Modern Lawyers, with Jordan Couch Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #576 — How Sponsorship, Empathy, and Failure Shape Great Leaders, with Michael Cohen Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Beattie, founder of The Divorce Planner, to talk about what actually helps in the earliest stages of separation and divorce. Alex is a divorce prep coach who works with people before they hire attorneys or mediators, helping them get grounded emotionally and prepared practically before big, irreversible decisions are made. We talk about the grief, shame, and identity disruption that often catches people off guard, even when divorce feels mutual, and why slowing down at the beginning can protect you emotionally and financially in the long run.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to stop arresting and detaining lawfully resettled refugees in Minnesota under a program known as Operation PARRIS. The temporary restraining order also requires the immediate release of refugees currently detained in Minnesota, and the release within five days of those transferred to a Texas detention center. The ruling comes in a class-action lawsuit brought by refugee advocacy groups, who argue the arrests are unlawful. Michelle Drake is an attorney based in Minneapolis with Berger Montague, that is helping lead the case. She joined Minnesota Now to talk about the judge's ruling.

Michael McKee hired the attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen murders. Diane Menashe called one witness in that trial. Husel walked on all fourteen counts. Now she's representing another doctor charged with murder—and the parallels are striking. Overwhelming evidence. Medical professional defendant. High-profile case. And a defense attorney who doesn't build cases—she dismantles prosecutions.McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder for the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. Police have ballistics linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago condo to shell casings at the crime scene. Vehicle tracking from Columbus back to Illinois. Surveillance footage allegedly showing McKee behind the Tepe home. A suppressor specification. No signs of forced entry. Family members say McKee was emotionally abusive and threatened Monique's life—but there's nothing in the official record for eight years between the divorce and the murders.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to analyze Menashe's likely approach, how she could attack the ballistics evidence, and whether the eight-year gap creates reasonable doubt about motive. We examine what the no-forced-entry detail could mean for an alternative theory, how the suppressor specification affects the premeditation argument, and what it means that the lead prosecutor is trying her first felony case against a 27-year defense veteran.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TrueCrimeToday #DianeMenashe #BobMotta #DrWilliamHusel #AggravatedMurder #FranklinCounty #ColumbusOhioJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Galen Hair sits down with Matthew Carlyon, attorney at Insurance Claim HQ, to explore the intersection of ethics, communication, and effective case management in property insurance claims. Matthew brings a rare perspective to the conversation, drawing from his background as a former State Bar ethics prosecutor, insurance defense attorney, and now policyholder advocate. Together, Galen and Matthew break down why communication failures—not legal mistakes—are the number one reason attorneys face disciplinary complaints, and how simple systems can prevent major problems. This episode dives deep into what ethical advocacy actually looks like in practice, why legal writing and storytelling matter more than courtroom theatrics, and how consistent file management protects both clients and professionals. Whether you're an attorney, public adjuster, or claims professional, this conversation offers practical guidance on operating with integrity while delivering strong results. Highlights: Matthew Carlyon's path from fiction writing to law and legal ethics Why most ethics complaints stem from poor client communication The importance of touching every case at least every two weeks How documentation protects attorneys and firms Legal writing as storytelling—and why it wins cases Lessons from prosecuting attorney misconduct for the State Bar Ethical advocacy vs. cutting corners in property claims The impact of climate change on Midwest property claims Systems that reduce chaos and increase accountability What "leveling up" really means in a legal career Episode Resources: Connect with Galen M.

Are you confident in knowing the difference between trial strategy and trial tactics?   Because ultimately the question is, does your jury understand what you're doing?   Today, we're looking at how to identify a clear strategy as the overarching theme that guides the trial, followed by the tactics to achieve that strategy.   There's a risk of confusing the two, including wasted time and causing confusion for jurors. The best strategies combine preparation and flexibility when you're in the courtroom.   And remember, focus groups can test strategies early in the trial preparation process, showing you where to refine those strategies early.   In this episode: Confusing strategy and tactics can lead to juror confusion. Tactics should be flexible and adaptable during trial. Jurors expect consistency in case presentation. Wasting time on tactics without a clear theme can cost cases. Focus groups can help test and refine trial strategies early. You can also watch this episode on my YouTube Channel: Trial Strategy v.

Throughout history diplomats have played keys roles in settling disputes among nations by winning alliances, splintering enemy coalitions, and making peace with their bitterest foes.  And, yet, in the post- Cold War period America has relied more upon the strength of its military, international covenants and economic muscle, as the world’s reserve currency, to impose its vast might on allies and adversaries alike.  Our guest, A. Wess Mitchell, a Principal and Co-Founder of the Marathon Initiative and the author of the new book, “Great Power Diplomacy: The Skill of Statecraft from Attila the Hun to Kissinger,” thinks this approach will not work going forward because America does not have the capacity to vanquish all the threats on the battlefield, particularly with the fragility of our own domestic politics and heavy debt load.  He makes a compelling argument as we circle the globe with him looking at America’s position in the world today.

Do you struggle with planning because you feel too busy, find it tedious, or rely on your memory to hold everything together? In this episode, I walk through three common time management and planning mistakes I see lawyers make and explain why they quietly create more stress, reactivity, and lost time than you might realise. We look at what actually happens when you skip planning and dive straight into your day, why avoiding planning because it feels boring often leads to more work later, and how relying on a strong working memory can overload your brain and undermine your effectiveness. I share practical ways to approach planning that are realistic for busy legal practices and designed to support focus, clarity, and follow-through.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/245   Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol   Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

Supreme Court hacking and the end of a Biglaw era. ------ The Biglaw world continues to watch single-tier partnerships slip away with Sullivan & Cromwell joining the income partner trend. Will the industry have any single-tier firms left by the end of the year? Also former Senator and current Hogan Lovells lawyer Kyrsten Sinema tagged with an alienation of affection tort from her former bodyguard's soon-to-be ex-wife. Come for the bad soap opera plot, stay for the MDMA-inspired psychedelic trip allegations. Finally, the Supreme Court got hacked, but federal law enforcement managed, a couple years after the fact, to track down the culprit whose social media handle was "ihackedthegovernment."

The surgeon accused of killing Monique and Spencer Tepe in their Columbus home entered a not guilty plea Friday. Michael McKee stood silent while his defense attorney, Diane Menashe, spoke for him. That choice of attorney tells you everything about how this case is going to be fought.Menashe is the same lawyer who defended Dr. William Husel in 2022 — the Mount Carmel physician charged with murdering fourteen patients through allegedly lethal fentanyl doses. She called one witness during the entire defense. Husel was acquitted on all counts. Now she's representing another doctor facing murder charges.The prosecution includes Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor, taking on her first felony case after a career in property code enforcement. She'll be supported by veteran homicide prosecutors, but the matchup raises questions about experience and strategy in a case drawing national attention.Today we break down what the not guilty plea signals, how Menashe's defense philosophy could shape the trial, and the new details emerging about McKee's pattern of evasion — including a malpractice lawsuit that couldn't locate him for months before the killings. Process servers found fake addresses, TVs turning off when they knocked, and colleagues who said he "just disappeared."The battle lines are drawn.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson and Becca discuss the transformation of their legal entrepreneur community, rebranding from "The Guild" to "The Association by Maximum Lawyer". They highlight improved organization, distraction-free engagement, and enhanced member profiles. Tyson and Becca discuss the reasons behind rebranding the Guild. The change has come from the changing needs of participants, the online space and how people are interacting and contributing in person. One major change, which is part of the change in name, is implementing quarterly coaches for members.
