A podcast about real Supreme Court cases. No law degree required.
Join hosts Jarret and Nikki as they re-argue a real Supreme Court case in front of 3 friends role-playing as "justices". Each episode includes an overview of the case, arguments from the hosts, deliberations and opinions issued by our panel of "justices", and finally a reveal of what the real Supreme Court ruled and how their decision impacts us today.
Also, we should mention no one on the show is a lawyer.
Our goal is to present the history and decisions of the Supreme Court in an engaging and accessible way. If you're not a lawyer, that's okay, we aren't either!

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case North Carolina v. Butler.
A man is arrested by the FBI, who gave him both a verbal and written notification of his rights. WB refused to sign a form indicating that he wished to waive his rights. Statements to the agents were included in evidence against him at trial. He was convicted, the North Carolina Supreme Court overturned the conviction, and the State cried foul.
The question before the court: can a suspect's statements be used against him if he did not explicitly say he was waiving his Miranda rights?
