What is the law? How does it work? What role do lawyers, litigants, and judges play in the law's development? In sum, what moves the law in American society? I'm Bob Stetson, a Boston-based trial lawyer and the host of the podcast Legal Judg(e)ments. After 17 years in private legal practice, I still don't have a perfect answer to these important societal questions. Is it politics? Judicial philosophy? The advocacy and skill of the lawyers involved? The likability or lack thereof of their clients? Is it something else entirely? I started this podcast to find out what other lawyers think about these issues. By talking about specific cases, strategies, verdicts, and court decisions, I hope to answer these important questions. Or, at the least, understand the issues a bit better. If we, as lawyers and as a society, understand how the law really works, maybe we can predict the results more accurately. Or as lawyers, give our clients better legal advice. Let's figure these issues out together. Come listen to Season 4 of Legal Judgements, starting on November 15th.…
