“We live in crazy times" is a phrase we hear a lot these days, Dr. Bill Chriss observes in this milestone 150th episode with hosts Todd Smith and Jody Sanders. But not the craziest America has ever seen. Drawing from his Law Day presentation, Bill examines how the nation's founding fathers—particularly Madison and Washington—foresaw the dangers of political factions and built safeguards to protect democracy. Modern trends like partisan gerrymandering and social media, he warns, are weakening those safeguards. As chair of the State Bar of Texas Appellate Section, Bill challenges lawyers to uphold their ethical duty to protect the judiciary, combat hyper-partisanship, and promote analytical thinking to preserve the republic.Connect and Learn More☑️ Dr. Bill Chriss | LinkedIn☑️ Todd Smith | LinkedIn | X | Bluesky☑️ Jody Sanders | LinkedIn | X | Bluesky☑️ Texas Appellate Law Podcast on LinkedIn | X | Instagram | Bluesky☑️ Texas Appellate Counsel PLLC ☑️ Kelly Hart & Hallman, LLP | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon MusicProduced and Powered by LawPodsSponsored by Court Surety Bond Agency and

“There's never any point at which I would have to say, ‘Well, I'm only going to do trial work now' or ‘I'm only going to do appellate work,'” Dylan Russell says. He can straddle that line because, as he explains to hosts Todd Smith and Jody Sanders, “I just like the law so much that I think about it all the time.” In this conversation, Dylan discusses why he maintains both trial and appellate skills rather than specializing and suggests how trial lawyers can become strong appellate lawyers.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as history's most profound moment, marking His victory over death and establishing the promise of eternal life. This event was so powerful it caused other graves in Jerusalem to open, prompting Roman authorities to attempt suppressing discussion of it. The transformed lives of Jesus' disciples, who faced death maintaining their testimony, provide compelling evidence of its authenticity. The resurrection guarantees both universal resurrection and eventual judgment, serving as a crucial reminder of life's fragility and the importance of being prepared for eternity.

n this powerful sermon, Pastor Todd Smith challenges the comfort-driven Christianity of the Western world with a bold call to true discipleship. Preaching from Matthew 4, Luke 9, and Luke 18, he unpacks the profound meaning of Jesus' words: "Come, follow me." Pastor Todd reveals that following Jesus requires: - Denying yourself daily - Taking up your cross - Surrendering everything—even your dreams and aspirations He exposes how modern Christianity has diluted the message of Jesus into a mere belief system rather than a radical, life-altering commitment. With convicting truths and stirring examples, Pastor Todd urges believers to count the cost, forsake all, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Key Scriptures:
The Hazing From Hell, LA Frat Kills Another Student By “Accident” Authorities in Baton Rouge have announced two more arrests in the death of Caleb Wilson, a 20-year-old Southern University student who died after being repeatedly punched during an alleged off-campus fraternity hazing ritual. Police said Tuesday that 25-year-old Kyle Thurman and 28-year-old Isaiah Smith have been charged with felony criminal hazing in connection with the fatal incident. Wilson, a junior studying mechanical engineering, died in late February. Last week, investigators arrested 23-year-old Caleb McCray on charges of criminal hazing and manslaughter. Police allege that McCray punched Wilson four times before the pledge collapsed, became unresponsive, and appeared to experience a seizure. Surveillance footage reviewed by law enforcement shows Smith removing Wilson from his vehicle and taking him to a hospital. According to a police arrest warrant affidavit, the group initially told medical staff that Wilson had collapsed while playing basketball at a park, then left before officers arrived. Baton Rouge Police Department Chief Thomas Morse Jr. said Wilson died as a “direct result” of the hazing. Smith, who held the title “Dean of Pledges,” was allegedly in charge of overseeing the ritual. Authorities say he turned himself in on Tuesday. Smith's attorney, Franz Borghardt, emphasized that his client is not accused of making physical contact with Wilson and that no one was aware of any underlying medical conditions the student might have had. “This was a freak accident; we're not talking about force-feeding alcohol,” Borghardt said. “To be sure, everyone in that fraternity cares about Caleb. Our hearts go out to the Wilson family.” While both Smith and Thurman allegedly participated in punching some of the nine pledges, they are not described in police affidavits as having hit Wilson. The hazing took place at a warehouse owned by Smith's father, Todd Smith, who has not responded to requests for comment. Thurman could not be reached, and no information about legal counsel for him was immediately available. Phillip Robinson, McCray's attorney, said his client is innocent and urged the public to refrain from judgment. In Louisiana, hazing can be prosecuted as a felony under the 2018 Max Gruver Act, which carries penalties of up to a $10,000 fine and five years in prison when serious injury or death results. Organizations and educational institutions may also face penalties under the act. Omega Psi Phi, the fraternity Wilson was pledging, could face civil penalties. A spokesperson said the organization is cooperating with authorities. The campus chapter of the fraternity has been suspended, and Greek life organizations at Southern University have been barred from taking on new members for the remainder of the academic year, according to President Dennis Shields. Wilson, a passionate trumpet player in Southern University's renowned band, was honored with a well-attended vigil in early March. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Whenever a trial is notable enough to make the headlines, the initial verdict is often the only one that sticks in the public-consciousness. But when it comes to appeals, unless it's a particularly heinous criminal case, the process is rarely deemed newsworthy. I suspect there's a litany of reasons for this lack of coverage, though at the end of the day I think it comes down to the appeals process being both nuanced and - using the metrics of 24-hour news - excruciatingly slow. And while it's not always granted, the ability to appeal a verdict is still fundamental to our legal system because ultimately it allows the space for humility. A space to say, “I never considered _____”. A space to grow.In my estimation, being an appellate attorney is more akin to being a craftsman or artisan than any other field of practice. It also takes a level of patience and flexibility that many attorneys (myself included) don't revel in.My guest this week is one of these craftsmen.Todd Smith is the Founder and Principal of the Texas Appellate Counsel, which helps attorneys implement the tools of emerging technology thoughtfully, effectively, and ethically.Todd has devoted his career to appellate practice, starting more than 3 decades ago with a two-year judicial clerkship at the Texas Supreme Court, moving to private and solo practice throughout his career.Todd and I discuss his journey towards discoing a passion for appellate work, the lessons he's learned being on both sides of the leadership role, and how technology does and doesn't impact the ways law will be practiced in the years to come.

02.23.25 | NEUTRALIZING THE ENEMY! | PASTOR TODD SMITH
For Chris Dove, it started when he came upon articles in Above the Law about the saga of then-95-year-old federal Judge Pauline Newman. A giant in IP law, Judge Newman faced allegations of poor health and declining cognitive abilities in 2023. Those allegations led to a council's recommendation that the judge be suspended and a flurry of litigation. “When I started reading for myself,” Chris recalls to hosts Todd Smith and Jody Sanders, “I realized there is a whole system that goes on for policing and managing federal judges that I was unaware of.” Chris' investigation into the little-known system eventually led to his paper, “Who Judges The Judges? Judicial Qualification and Recusal,” and CLEs. With Todd and Jody, he discusses broader implications around the independence and accountability of federal judges.
