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 the season 2 finale we re-argue the Supreme Court case McCleskey v. Kemp.
WM, a Black man, was sentenced to death for murder. On appeal, he submitted statistical evidence to show that the race of the victim (and, to a lesser extent, of the defendant) is associated with whether the defendant gets sentenced to death or not.
The question before the court: does statistical evidence of racial disparities in a state's capital sentencing system prove racism? Does the evidence make that system unconstitutional under the 8th and 14th amendments?
