            <title>The life and lovers of legendary Hollywood lawyer (podcast)</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_021</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ &#8220;He was the only person I ever knew in Hollywood who was a star without being in a movie,&#8221; says Robert Wagner in the foreword of The Man Who Seduced Hollywood: The Life and Loves of Greg Bautzer, Tinseltown's Most Powerful Lawyer.

When Greg Bautzer wanted to break into Hollywood as a brand new attorney, he knew he had to be memorable, recounts B. James Gladstone's newly released biography. So he borrowed $5,000 and used the money to buy "the best wardrobe in town." It was a profitable investment indeed, as he later went on to represent such luminaries as Clark Gable, Ingrid Bergman, Judy Garland, William Randolph Hearst, Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney, Laurence Olivier and Darryl Zanuck. 

A list of Bautzer's inamorata requires its own appendix at the end of the book, with asterisks to show which starlets he was engaged to, and which he married.

ABA Journal reporter Rachel Zahorsky speaks with Gladstone about Bautzer's life and legal achievements, including his representation of famous recluse Howard Hughes.

            <title>Want to protect individual freedom? Have a strong central government, says 'Rule of the Clan' author</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_019</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ We live in a society which values individual freedoms, but we come from a place which valued kinship ties above all else. Author Mark S. Weiner has studied ancient and modern-day clan societies. He's observed that group responsibility, rather than individual responsibility, is the rule of law. In his new book The Rise of the Clan: What an Ancient Form of Social Organization Reveals About the Future of Individual Freedom, he probes whether a lack of a strong central government inhibits personal freedoms&#8211;or insures it. 

He speaks with ABA Journal podcast editor Lee Rawles about what the political and social history of older clan societies in Europe can forecast about modern clan societies in the Middle East and North Africa.

            <title>What if Crim Law was taught by cartoons?</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_018</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ When he started a Tumblr called The Illustrated Guide to Law, Nathaniel Burney's intention was to teach high-school-aged kids a little more about the law through illustrated comics&mdash;for example, that an undercover officer does not have to identify himself or herself if you ask, "Are you a cop?" To his surprise, the greatest response came from law students, who loved his humorous take on explaining the basics of criminal law.


Read Chapter 15: Self Defense (PDF)


It's not meant to be a replacement to law school, says Burney, but his book The Illustrated Guide to Criminal Law is just the first in a planned series to cover all the courses of a 1L. He discusses how the project developed with ABA Journal podcast editor Lee Rawles.

For a look at the next book, The Illustrated Guide to Criminal Procedure, you can watch its development at LawComic.net.

To his surprise, the greatest response came from law students, who loved his humorous take on explaining the basics of criminal law.


Read Chapter 15: Self Defense (PDF)


It's not meant to be a replacement to law school, says Burney, but his book The Illustrated Guide to Criminal Law is just the first in a planned series to cover all the courses of a 1L. He discusses how the project developed with ABA Journal podcast editor Lee Rawles.

For a look at the next book, The Illustrated Guide to Criminal Procedure, you can watch its development at LawComic.net.

            <description><![CDATA[ Is your firm at risk if you hire laterals from a dissolving law firm?

As two New York federal district court rulings have disagreed on the "unfinished business" doctrine, which determines who can claim profits from a defunct law firm&#8217;s unfinished cases, the matter appears destined for the Second Circuit. However, 2012&#8217;s public implosion of Dewey & LeBoeuf showed that law firms who hire laterals from a dissolving firm shouldn&#8217;t wait for the courts to decide on issues that could end up in a lawsuit over fee ownership.

            <title>How to practice law in a 'sharing economy' (Podcast)</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_017</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ The world&#8217;s global and economical meltdowns have pushed more Americans to consider shared access to resources, such as housing and autos, over individual ownership. One example of this kind of venture is Zipcar, a car-sharing service which was acquired by Avis two weeks ago for $491.2 million, according to the Associated Press.

As the number of community cooperatives, social enterprises and local sustainable economies increases, so does the need for transactional lawyers to guide individuals through the legal gray areas encountered in a sharing economy. 

In her new book, Practicing Law in the Sharing Economy: Helping People Build Cooperatives, Social Enterprise, And Local Sustainable Economies, author Janelle Orsi predicts this trend will continue to gain nationwide momentum and teaches lawyers how to build their practices around the sharing economy and attract and advise like-minded clients. She discusses this and other insights about her book with ABA Journal reporter Rachel M. Zahorsky.

            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_016</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Corrected: Long have comic book fans debated the minutiae of the genre. Lawyers James Daily and Ryan Davidson, authors of the two-time Blawg 100 nominee Law and the Multiverse, have taken the discussion from the comic book store's backroom to the courtroom. 

In their new book, The Law of Superheroes, Davidson and Daily map out what the legal implications would be for various superhero powers and storylines. Is Batman a state actor under the Lugar test? Is the Incredible Hulk liable for property damage created when he "hulks out?" Would a mind-reading psychic like Professor X be allowed to introduce telepathic evidence in court? When Superman crushes a lump of coal into a diamond and gives it to Lana Lang, is that gift taxable? The authors join ABA Journal podcast editor Lee Rawles to discuss those issues and share what comic aficionados' responses to the book have been.

Reviews:

Wall Street Journal: "Invincible Heroes&#8212;Except in Court"

National Law Journal: "Superheroes and the law: How would Batman or Captain America fare in court?"

Popehat: "Better Call Galactus"

[Note on audio quality: Lee Rawles has a headcold and Ryan Davidson conducted the interview over Skype.]

            <description><![CDATA[ For five years, two judges in Luzerne County, Penn., colluded with the owners of a juvenile detention facility to place children in detention for minor offenses in exchange for bribes amounting to almost $2.8 million.

He speaks with ABA Journal podcast editor Lee Rawles about the details of the case and how the scheme was finally brought to light.

            <description><![CDATA[ Republicans say voter fraud is rampant. Democrats see voter ID laws threatening to disenfranchise large numbers of eligible voters. 

In his book The Voting Wars: From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown, author Rick Hasen says that the real danger is overblown political rhetoric that destroys the confidence the American people have in our electoral system's legitimacy. 

With ABA Journal Web producer Lee Rawles, he discusses our electoral system's flaws, including partisan election officials, outdated equipment and the "Fraudulent Fraud Squad." The election is in less than three weeks&mdash;could we be facing another Florida 2000 meltdown? Hasen takes a look back at how far we've come in a decade.

The election is in less than three weeks&mdash;could we be facing another Florida 2000 meltdown? Hasen takes a look back at how far we've come in a decade.

            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_013</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ "Women in Revolt," a feature story about the nascent feminist movement, was the cover of Newsweek magazine on March 16, 1970. That same day, 46 female Newsweek employees announced that they were suing the magazine, then seen as an advocate of the civil rights movement, for sex discrimination. Lynn Povich, author of The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued Their Bosses and Changed the Workplace, was there that day as one of the plaintiffs. She shares with ABA Journal Web producer Lee Rawles what led to the suit, the actions of the male bosses, and what effect the lawsuit had on the careers of the women involved.

            <title>Author Describes Clash of Titans Jefferson and Marshall in 'The Treason Trial of Aaron Burr'</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_012</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ Marbury v. Madison may have been their first major legal battle, but President Thomas Jefferson and Chief Justice John Marshall clashed again in the treason trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr. 

Burr may now be known best for his fatal duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804, but by 1807 he was on trial for a plot that may (or may not) have involved fighting a private war against the Spanish; convincing the Western states to secede; and a mysterious cipher letter delivered by a "scoundrel" general into Jefferson's own hand. In a trial lasting seven months, some of the new nation's most skilled lawyers fought to define habeas corpus rights, the separation of powers and the constitutional definition of treason.

Professor R. Kent Newmyer reveals all these events in his new book, The Treason Trial of Aaron Burr: Law, Politics, and the Character Wars of the New Nation. He joined The Modern Law Library podcast to discuss his book with ABA Journal Web producer Lee Rawles. The Jefferson/Marshall showdown at what some call the greatest criminal trial in American history almost never came to be; Newmyer shares that Chief Justice Marshall presided over the trial in Richmond, Va., only because in those days Supreme Court justices were expected to ride circuit. He also discusses some of the legal minds who were involved in the trial, including a man named (confusingly) Luther Martin.

Reviews:

"Kent Newmyer, one of the most distinguished legal historians in the country, has written an extraordinarily learned and balanced account of what is arguably the greatest criminal trial in American history. The trial seems as relevant today as it was in 1807." - Gordon S. Wood, Brown University

Note: The digital version of the book is available now; the print release date has been moved to Oct. 23, 2012. ]]></description>

            <title>After Going from BigLaw to ABC News, Author of 'Exit Interview' Witnessed Seismic Changes</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_011</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ ABA Journal Reporter Rachel Zahorsky talks with David Westin, author of Exit Interview and a former Washington, D.C., BigLaw partner, who left his position as president of ABC News after 14 years of leading media coverage of what he calls &#8220;some of the most perplexing and important events in history.&#8221; 

President Bill Clinton&#8217;s impeachment (including what ignited the decision to report on the existence of a certain blue dress); the 2000 presidential election; the Sept. 11 attacks; the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; and the worst economy since the Great Depression have marked an era of constant change in America. And, within the newsroom, Westin, who was seen as a corporate outsider to some veteran journalists, inherited a business besieged by budget cuts and competition from nearly unlimited sources thanks in part to the explosive growth of the Internet and digital technology. 

As a former lawyer who once clerked for&#160;U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell, Westin also shares with us his views on cameras in courtrooms, protections for anonymous sources, and lessons the legal profession&mdash;faced with its own changing landscape&mdash;should learn.

            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_009</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has long been known as a champion of the legal philosophy of textualism, interpreting statutes by the writer&#8217;s words.

            <title>Federal Judge Pens Memoir About His Time on the Bench and His High-Profile Cases in 'Disrobed'</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_008</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ In his time on the federal district court in Brooklyn, Judge Frederic Block has presided over many high-profile cases. He speaks with ABA Journal web producer Lee Rawles about his time in private practice; his involvement with cases, including the Kitty Genovese and Crown Heights Riot murders; and appearing before the Warren Supreme Court to argue a one man, one vote case at the age of 33. He says that he wrote Disrobed: An Inside Look at the Life and Work of a Federal Trial Judge to help further readers' understanding of federal courts and to combat the typical "judicial lockjaw."

Reviews:

"Judge Block gives the reader an engaging, often humorous account of his life, as always, and a compelling introduction to the world of a federal judge, whose decisions are subject to plenty of public scrutiny but whose decision-making process remains a mystery for most Americans." - President Bill Clinton

The Villager: "Judge&#8217;s book gives an insider&#8217;s view of life on the bench"

Updated at 2:20 p.m. to remove a reference in Judge Block's bio. ]]></description>

            <title>What Can the Real Rate Report Tell Us About the Value of Entry-Level Lawyers?</title>
            <link>http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_episode_05</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ For in-house counsel reluctant to pay fees for entry-level associates, a new study that uses actual billing data from 2007 to 2011 may further justify that resistance. Controlling for partner and associate hours per matter, associates with less than two years of experience cost clients $72,185 more than using more seasoned associates for short-term litigation matters that billed 40 hours or more, according to the Real Rate Report, featured in this month's ABA Journal's Law By the Numbers.

Given the reports' additional findings that less than 3 percent of total lawyer hours billed to a company, on average, in 2011 were for entry-level associates, down from 7 percent in 2009 (even as junior associate salaries increased), how can firms offer the best value to their clients and still provide the necessary legal experience to their associates?
 
Hear ABA Journal business of law reporter Rachel M. Zahorsky talk with Craig Raeburn, managing director of TyMetrix Legal Analytic, co-producer of the Real Rate Report, and Stuart Dodds, director of global pricing at Baker & McKenzie (a now-growing position in the legal profession that existed at only a handful of firms just five years ago), as they discuss the impact of the study&#8217;s findings on law firm-client relationships, best practices for efficient case management, and how firms can ensure the proper investment in entry-level lawyers to serve clients now and in the future. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ ABA Journal Business of Law Reporter Rachel Zahorsky talks with Brian Z. Tamanaha, author of Failing Law Schools, on the need for new law school models that reflect today&#8217;s reality, where the six-figure cost of a J.D. is grossly disproportionate to the economic benefits for most graduates. Tamanaha proposes updated accreditation standards and federal lending programs, and challenges prospective students, their parents and Congress to demand the critical changes necessary to preserve the future of the profession.

            <description><![CDATA[ An intrepid attorney (with nothing left to lose after the deaths of his wife and daughter) scales the state government ladder to solve the murder of a potential witness and expose the corruption that leads all the way to the governor's mansion.

That is the plot of Breach of Trust, one of the three finalists for the 2012 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. ABA Journal web producer Lee Rawles spoke with author David Ellis about the real-life influences behind the novel: his own experience with the impeachment trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Ellis also speaks about what To Kill a Mockingbird has meant to him, and how he feels about being a finalist for the Harper Lee Prize.

The reader's choice poll will be open until July 8. The winner of the 2012 Harper Lee Prize will be announced in August.
