Over the next few weeks, Legal Speak will feature a series of interviews from our sister podcast, "Supreme Court Brief."

In this first installment, Supreme Court Brief host Jimmy Hoover interviews University of Virginia School of Law Professor Amanda Frost. The duo discuss Frost's latest research on the original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause and how it conflicts with President Donald Trump's attempt to deny birthright citizenship to children of immigrants. 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.

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.
