Good lawyers aren't afraid to pause when they don't understand something. They read and reread until they figure it out. This week, Ben and Nathan discuss why this lawyerly trait is crucial to mastering the LSAT. Later, the guys reject a purported downside to retaking the LSAT. They speculate about AI's impact on the legal profession. And they consider the value of paying for the prestige of a top law school.  Study with our Free Plan Download our iOS app Watch Episode 485 on YouTube 1:46 - Every Word Matters - LSAT beginners and veterans alike make most of their mistakes because of sloppy reading.

Brandon graduated from the University of Texas School of Law and currently works as a Partner at Mayer Brown. In this episode of Lawyers in the Making, I sit down with Brandon to unpack his extraordinary journey—a story woven with resilience, discovery, reinvention, and candid insights about life and law.We kick things off before law school, diving into Brandon's days as a Division 1 soccer player at Harvard. His time on the field shaped more than just his athletic prowess—it prepared him for the competitive rigors of the University of Texas School of Law. The competitive nature, at Harvard would translate seamlessly to Law School. Brandon reflects on his first year at Texas Law, an experience that was both grounding and transformative. Growing up in the area, he navigated familiar faces and new challenges, finding balance in the structured rhythm of law school. While litigation was always his goal, he shares a critical lesson: explore every corner of the legal field, embrace hands-on experiences, and find what truly resonates.As a first-year associate, Brandon's approach was refreshingly pragmatic: say yes enthusiastically, and set clear boundaries unapologetically. His ability to communicate what he could and couldn't take on not only earned the respect of his colleagues but also carved out precious time for his family—a priority he holds sacred.We round out the conversation with advice for aspiring lawyers, a deep dive into finding your niche, and an exploration of authenticity as the cornerstone of professional success. Of course, no episode of Lawyers in the Making would be complete without a touch of philosophy—and Brandon delivers in spades.Plus, we shine a spotlight on his podcast, The Unlawful Podcast, where he brings his trademark wit and wisdom to a whole new audience.Tune in for an episode packed with actionable advice, personal stories, and a fresh perspective on building a fulfilling career in law.

Today we had the opportunity to visit with Dr. David Spence, Chair in Natural Resources Law at the University of Texas and Author of “Climate of Contempt: How to Rescue the U.S. Energy Transition from Voter Partisanship.” Dr. Spence joined the University of Texas faculty in 1997 and his research focuses on the law and politics of energy regulation. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Duke University and serves as a professor of Business, Government & Society at the McCombs School of Business in addition to teaching at Texas Law. “Climate of Contempt” was recently published in August and addresses the politics and forces that have affected energy policy. We were thrilled to thrilled to explore the book's key themes and arguments with David. In our conversation, we discuss the various factors David has researched contributing to ineffective policymaking, the value of engaging in open and honest discussions across ideological lines, how social media and advocacy media influence policy understanding, the destructive effects of today's media landscape on comprehending complex issues, and issues with social media echo chambers. David shares some of the feedback he's received since publishing “Climate of Contempt,” the reluctance of political leaders to address the failings of their own party members, the role of natural gas in energy policy, and the benefits of being technologically agnostic. We touch on shifts in attitudes toward nuclear energy, the need for more discussions around risks and trade-offs with energy technology, growing global energy demand, the potential for technological innovation in energy, and how differences in energy and environmental policy influence where industries decide to locate their operations. We also cover the challenges of regulating energy markets, the counterproductive demonization of oil and gas, potential ways to encourage cross-sector collaboration between academia, government and the commercial sector, and more. For additional resources related to “Climate of Contempt,” please visit www.climateofcontempt.com. We greatly enjoyed the discussion with David and appreciate him sharing his time and insights with us. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by highlighting two areas, those being the recent surge in both U.S. bond yields as well as global crude oil prices. On the bond yield front, he discussed that despite the FED's 50-basis point interest rate cut three weeks ago, the 10-year U.S. bond yield has surged from ~3.65% to ~4.00% mostly due to hotter-than-expected recent economic data. He flagged that several important economic reports will be released this week (CPI, PPI & Consumer Sentiment) and that these reports could create some added bond and equity market volatility. Regarding crude oil, in the past week WTI price surged to over $77/bbl (~$9/bbl gain) due to concerns of whether Israel would attack Iranian nuclear sites and/or crude oil export terminals/refineries. Last week's news of a Chinese stimulus program also contributed to the surge in global oil prices, but one of the key reasons for the recent surge in oil price is a “short squeeze” which is an outgrowth of an extremely bearish trader positioning in crude oil futures (especially Brent). He also noted that on Tuesday, WTI price slid by over $3/bbl (~$74/bbl), as well as the price of several base metal commodities, on news that the Chinese government was holding back on additional economic stimulus spending. Jeff Tillery pointed out that while a stronger underlying economy is good for long-term energy demand, short-term price boosts from geopolitical turmoil may have a negative impact on stocks over time. Thank you again to David for joining and thanks to you all for your support and friendship!

In this episode, I talk about a new book that models the ten habits that any peacemaker should adopt. The author is Steven T. Collis and the book is Ten Habits of a Peacemaker. For those wondering how this book compares to the work of Ken Sande's The Peacemaker, the two are excellent companions. While Ken's is more theological (LISTEN), Steven's project looks at the process and psychological challenges of creating a space for constructive dialogue and common life. To that end, him and I spoke about the importance of habit formation, the challenges of navigating perception, the psychology underlying group-think, the various steps that an individual can take to develop the heart of a peacemaker, and much more. Steven researches and teaches on religion law, productive discourse, and other First Amendment topics at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. He is the founding faculty director of the Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center and its Law & Religion Clinic. Before joining Texas Law, he was a Research Fellow in the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School. Faculty bio. My first conversation with Steven can be found here. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.

Live from STUDIO G in the heart of AMERICA—I'm Steve Gruber—fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—I am here to tell it to you straight, I am going to be brutally honest about everything—God Bless America, this is the Steve Gruber Show!   And here are 3 Big Things you need to know—to start this hour—   Number One— A liberal federal judge for the Northern District of Illinois—has over-ruled nearly 60 years of federal laws and prededent—and says illegal aliens can have guns in America—gun shop owners say—no they cannot—   Number Two— Another Federal Judge STUNS Special Counsel Jack Smith—and tells him if he wants to continue to go after Donald Trump—the judge wrote “either hand over the documents to the jury” or Trump will walk—   Number Three— And the Supreme Court has handed down a HUGE 6-3 ruling—letting the Texas law known as SB-4 to take effect—

The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the enforcement of a Texas statute on Tuesday, which permits the local law enforcement agencies to apprehend individuals suspected of illegal border crossings. This decision followed an extension of a temporary hold on the legislation, which was sought by the Biden administration just a day prior. This federal lawsuit sought to dismantle the state-endorsed statute entirely. The Biden Administration had articulated that the legislation, formally known as Senate Bill 4, was an encroachment on the paradigm of federal authority particularly in matters relating to immigration. The basis of their argument questioned the authority at which branches of government have the control over immigration actions, hinting the potential of constitutional overreach.Texas' top legal authority—Attorney General Ken Paxton—counters this viewpoint, having stated that the state's law corresponds to the federal law, and introducing a comparable legislative framework. The argument from Paxton—and by extension, the state of Texas—is that this measure was required as a counteractive measure to address what they perceive as the shortcomings of the current administration's response to issues at the southern border. This ruling from the highest court in the country illuminates the discourse on federal versus state authority—specifically in the domain of immigration. With the judicial endorsement of this Texas legislation, the broader context of immigration enforcement across diverse geographical landscapes in the U.S. can change significantly.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we explore the recent oral arguments in two cases concerning social media, state laws, and the First Amendment. We walk through the complexities of the justices' struggle to establish a legal framework for addressing content moderation by social media platforms, highlighting the unprecedented nature of these issues in the context of constitutional law. Tune in for an informative discussion on the ever-changing landscape of law and the profound impact it has on our lives.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Big Supreme Court News: The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case regarding a former president's immunity from criminal prosecution has significant implications. This case raises critical questions about the constitutionality of immunity for a former president and the potential impact on future legal proceedings.2️⃣ Cases Involving Internet, First Amendment, and Social Media: The recent oral arguments on state laws attempting to regulate social media platforms' content moderation choices brought to the forefront the absence of a clear constitutional framework and precedents for addressing such modern technological issues. The Justices' struggle to fit these cases within existing legal categories highlights the need for new frameworks to address emerging technology-related legal concerns.3️⃣ Role of Congress: The lack of national standards from Congress further complicates the situation, leaving the Justices in a dilemma about who should be making decisions regarding the regulation of social media content moderation.
