Over the past few weeks, Legal Speak has featured a series of interviews from our sister podcast, "Supreme Court Brief."

In this final installment, Supreme Court Brief host Jimmy Hoover interviews Bill Kovacic, a former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission during the late Bush and early Obama administrations. Kovacic speaks with Jimmy about the "disappointing" aspect of a Supreme Court hearing in Trump v. Slaughter about whether President Donald Trump should be allowed to fire members of so-called "independent agencies" like the FTC.

The case centers around Trump's purported firing of Democratic FTC member Rebecca Slaughter. It could spell the end of roughly a century of Supreme Court precedent upholding removal restrictions for members of multi-member government commissions.

This week, Legal Speak continues to feature a series of interviews from our sister podcast, "Supreme Court Brief.

In this second installment, Supreme Court Brief host Jimmy Hoover talks to Supreme Court lawyer Adam Unikowsky on the promise and peril of using AI to litigate cases at the Supreme Court.

Unikowsky reveals how he leveraged a case that he argued before justices to generate an audio file of an AI chatbot delivering a simulated high court argument. The result speaks for itself, according to Unikowsky.

In addition to discussing additional AI experiments conducted by Unikowsky, the duo's conversation explores how appellate trial attorneys can take advantage of revolutionary AI tools.

In this first installment, Supreme Court Brief host Jimmy Hoover interviews University of Virginia School of Law Professor Amanda Frost.

With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to weigh the constitutionality of Trump's policy this term and issue a ruling by July, the conversation provides timely insights for legal listeners.

Geoffrey Potter runs a large anticounterfeiting practice for Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, which he has done since 1995. The practice had something of an international detective mystery thing going on. Tracking down and seizing product, global investigations and some really weird, and, admittedly, clever ways to hawk bogus product. And there are real consequences if and when these products hit the market. Potter tells us all about it.
