Drunk Law School
Nickel Productions
This podcast has everything: sassy judges, cults, identity fraud, too much Fireball, the oxford comma, and the Five-Year-Old Smackdown, which is that thing where a little kid pulls the chair out from under his aunt during a family reunion. Subscribe to hear what happens when a law student and a podcaster mix liquor with the law. There are probably a few laws when drinking Claws, but we couldn’t tell you what they are.

Dolly, Get Your Bag! (Filartiga v. Peña-Irala)
What do you do if after fleeing from an oppressive regime in your home country of Paraguay and coming to the United States for a better life, you discover that the former head of the police force—a man who tortured and murdered your brother for political dissidence—had also fled to the U.S.A.? You dust off a two hundred year old law about piracy and GET. YOUR. BAG. To read about why the term "alien" is marginalizing and explore a new alternative coined by our brilliant friend Dr. Arturo Castellanos, click here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drunklawschool/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunklawschool/support

Bye Week
We’ve been cooking up lots of good things over here at DLS emporium, including two new guest recordings! Instead of an episode this week, we encourage everyone to take a break. There has been a lot going on in the news: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing and the indictment (or lack thereof) in the Breonna Taylor case, among other things. Please take time to talk and reflect with your family, your friends, and yourself. And have an easy fast, if you observe. We are a Jewish podcast after all. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drunklawschool/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunklawschool/support

A Supreme Court Slap Fight (Marbury v. Madison)
The year is 1789. Back in those days, having actual slap fights in public was considered bad form, and somebody usually died in a duel (looking at you, Alexander Hamilton). So if you're John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and you want to have a slap fight but not actually, where do you go? The Supreme Court, of course! Drinks: Bulleit Bourbon Kentucky Mule and Bee's Knuckles (combine 2 oz. bourbon, 1 oz. honey syrup, 1 oz. fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp sriracha or more to taset; shake with ice and serve in a coupe glass) Please contact officials in Wisconsin and demand justice for Jacob Blake by clicking here.
