Beyond The Judgement

For this new season of Barely Legal, we will be implementing some changes to the format and style of our episodes. We hope you stick around. See you next Monday! 

Ever wondered how the US Supreme Court functions? Or how a branch of government can possibly aspire to be wholly apolitical? 

Listen here to our introduction to SCOTUS! 

Hear us discuss the polarizing Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization--also known as the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. This is admittedly a lengthy episode, but we wanted to do this one justice. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Barely Legal, we talk about Carson v. Makin, a case regarding schools and religion but more specifically with government funding for religious schools. You can read more about the case here: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/20-1088 ! 

In this episode of Barely Legal, we discuss NY State Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen, a case regarding concealed carry legislation in New York and the 2nd amendment. 

In this episode we discuss Vega v. Tekoh, which determined that an officer's failure to read a person their Miranda rights does not constitute grounds for a claim of civil liability. 

In this episode we discuss West Virginia v. EPA. The case curtails the ability of federal agencies to set drastic regulations in relevant sectors. You can read more about the decision here: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/20-1530!

Welcome to our first episode of Barely Legal! In this episode we discuss Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, a case about a public high school football coach praying after football games (with students at times!) and what that means in terms of freedom of religion and free speech in schools. 

Hi! This is Barely Legal, the podcast where two teens break down SCOTUS cases in an informative, but thought provoking manner. Our goal is to reach out to barely legal audiences (voters!) and present information about the rulings of the judicial branch that is often left out of the conversation. Our first episode releases this Monday. See you then!
