On The Docket

In this episode we are delighted to interview Brian Wilson, the Texas Law Hawk!  If you’re not familiar, stop what you’re doing and watch this now:

We talk with Brian about the struggles of being a solo practitioner, and about the challenges and opportunities with marketing yourself as one of thousands of attorneys. Brian mentions how frustrating it is to write “blog posts” and see no return, and the push-back when trying to stand out.

Brian also talks about being recognized, getting hate mail, and how the Bar Association has reacted to his bombastic lawyer character on his youtube videos.  He also talks about his own run-ins with the law and how it inspired him to pursue criminal defense.

In segment 2 we quiz Jared on the latest legal news and expose his woeful lack of knowledge with humorous consequences. Many laughs are had.

This time we have a special guest, Chris Harris, who wrote and performed “Don’t Eat Your Weed” with Will Hutson.  Chris and Will are partners at Hutson and Harris in Waco Texas.  We give them a hard time about being from Waco, then follow up with questions about how their songs came about, and how they’ve influenced their business.

After that it’s Quiz Show, with every question coming from Las Vegas. We talk about Bombings, private jails behind casinos, and Pokemon related shootings with Jordan Flake and Brian Berman.

Also, Greg screwed up the software so the interview got cut short unexpectedly. Don’t tell anybody.

In this episode, Jordan Flake and Brandon Trout try to predict what suggestions the internet provides for people seeking legal advice. Hint: It’s crazy times.

We also talk about how to know if you should go to law school, what startup culture is like at the Hyperloop, and what attorneys are singing about in Texas. (Weed. It’s about weed.)

This week we play “Will or Won’t” where Jared and Jordan try to guess if a celebrity will provision is real or if I just made it up. We also play “Quiz Show” as normal, featuring conversation about unusual child names, big class actions, and the spirit of justice, exploration, and boldy going where no lawsuit has gone before.

Jared and Jordan listen to wills by Heath Ledger, Jack Benny, and Robert Louis Stevenson and try to guess which ones are real. For example: Jack Benny left a significant amount of money not only to his wife, but to his florist. True or not?
