Bad Breaches episodes

  • Clerking, Big Law, and Professorships, Oh My!

    This week, we're introducing someone you're already familiar with: Professor Contracts! We sat down with our contracts professor, Kent Barnett, to talk about his experience clerking, working in complex-commercial-litigation, and his transition into teaching. Always fun talking with Prof. Barnett, and this conversation is no different! 

    Follows us on social media @badbreaches to interact with us off the show (we're getting better at Twitter re: memes) and email us at [email protected] to ask a question or just tell us we're doing great (we hope). Take a second to review us on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts (it helps a LOT and we really appreciate it)!

  • Run Me My Grades

    We're back!! It's been a minute and a half but your dynamic duo has returned! It's 2019, we still don't have grades, but we're thriving in the new year and we hope you are, too. We do a little housekeeping this episode (read: begging you to share with your friends), as well as discussing holiday parties, our new years resolutions, and what we have to look forward too in the coming year! Also, grades, which may or may not ever happen, who knows? As always, find us on social media everywhere @badbreaches, email us at [email protected]. And this week, we have a special request: take this survey (http://bit.ly/breachessurvey)! It'll really help us get you the content you want to hear! We have big things in store for you this year, and we can't wait to show you!

  • 1L of a Finals Party
    This episode is a compilation of interviews we did of our fellow 1Ls after our last final. The audio quality is pretty good considering everyone's drunk and in a bar at 2pm on a Thursday. We hope you enjoy this fun peak at the outside law school life where we deservedly celebrate being done with our first semester!

  • What Do We Do Now?
    Y'all, we finished finals. We survived the first and worst semester of our lives (so far). We've got a month long break ahead of us so we decided to talk to our good friend Tony in the Career Development Office to see what we should do about getting a summer job (yikes) and for general advice moving forward. So proud of all our Breaches out there for making it this far. Be on the lookout for a ~special~ episode coming to you soon this holiday season. As always, reach out to us on social media @badbreaches and email with your questions or ideas at [email protected].

  • I Have So Many Questions
    We don't even know what we don't know. But that's fine, because outlining will be the answer to our collective prayers, right? Right?!? Listen as we discuss the looming threat of exams and our plans to make them submit to our wills. (Actually, we're really anxious and just want to go to bed. And we bet you are too.)

  • My Wallet v. My Heart 11 B.B. 4 (2018)
    This week Joi and our guest Frederick basically argued the whole time. Justin tried to mediate, but there's only so much he can do. But really, the discussion centers around the public interest vs. big law dichotomy. We weighed our hearts against our wallets and came up short. Follow us @badbreaches on Twitter AND Instagram!

  • "What, like it's hard?"
    This week, we tackle a film that's gained a cult following: Legally Blonde. Join us as we "live-pod" the movie with our takes on whether or not Elle's experience is exactly accurate. We're joined by our classmate Connor, her dog Jackson, and an undisclosed amount of mimosas. It's a mess, we're a mess, but it's also super fun. Have a listen!

  • Punitive Damages
    This week, we're talking paper. Money. Bills. Rent. More important than ever (for us) is the intersection of money, time, and energy and how that affects us in law school.
