Summary

Brett and Nazim are two attorneys who hate being attorneys. In lieu of practicing law, they have instead developed a podcast to help make the Supreme Court more accessible to the average person. Each week, Brett and Nazim will discuss current Supreme Court cases and how they affect your daily life, while also ruminating on how their dreams of fame and fortune resulted in jokes about Star Wars and wondering how Ruth Bader Ginsburg thinks about Facebook. This Podcast is for entertainment purposes only and is not legal advice. If anything you hear leads you to believe you need legal advice, please contact an attorney immediately.© 2014-2017, Citizen's Guide to the Supreme Court

  • Nazim's Doom-and-Gloom Gerrymanding Spectacular
    May 12 2026

    This week's episode covers the perils of gerrymandering in Louisianna v. Callais, in which the Supreme Court reversed course on a districting map that may alter the application of the Voting Rights Act moving forward. Nazim's sad and Brett tries to cheer him up. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You probably just won't have fair access to voting in the foreseeable future. Law starts from the beginning, but starts to go off track once the discussion moves to Weird Al.

  • Rich Borders, Porous Borders
    May 3 2026

    This week's long over-due covers the past, present and future on international law and the Supreme Court. You (as Bill Murray in Scrooged) will enjoy the tarriffs in Learning Resources v. Trump (Buster Poindexter in Scrooged), birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara (Carole Kane in Scrooged) and removal proceedings in Blanche v. Lau (the faceless Grim Reaper in Scrooged). The law kind of starts from the beginning but is regularly interrupted by tangents. We missed you, too.
