Too Many Lawyers

By: Royal F. Oakes and Connor M. Oakes
  • Summary

  • Too Many Lawyers goes beyond the headlines about laws and court cases to tell listeners what developments in the law really mean, and how the stories impact real people. The hosts are each lawyers and legal analysts, but beyond that couldn’t be more different. One, Royal Oakes, is a libertarian, baby boomer and dad, who’s been offering analysis on network radio and television for decades; the other, Connor Oakes, is a progressive millennial and son of Royal Oakes, who offers a fresh take on the legal world. TML knows what podcast listeners want to hear about, and delivers – subjects include:--- Should America embrace Pete Buttigieg’s view, legalization of every drug, from grass, to meth, to heroin?--- Should the feds be bumping the tobacco purchase age to 21?--- Can we trust Twitter and Facebook to censor political opinions?--- Your devices are spying on you – should you go through life not trusting Alexa?--- The gig economy – do laws saying everybody with a side hustle is an “employee” help, or hurt?--- Should colleges be dumping SAT and ACT tests as a tool to fight discrimination? --- How can governments regulate “ghost guns” made by 3-D printers?--- Is facial recognition just another tool like fingerprints, or does it spell the end of privacy?--- Should Amazon face lawsuits for sales of unsafe products, when they just collect a slice as middleperson?

  • MARCIA CLARK LOOKS BACK AT THE OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL
    Feb 7 2025

    The “trial of the century” resulted in “the worst jury verdict of the century.” How did it happen? What better source to consult than Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor. Why did a downtown LA jury vote for OJ? And, did the DA’s office blow the case by insisting that the trial be held in downtown LA, instead of a courthouse in West LA, where the crime occurred? Clark’s answers may shock you.

  • THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET ABOUT HOW THE DA BLEW THE OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL
    Jan 22 2025

    This year is the 30th anniversary of the not guilty verdict in O.J. Simpson’s murder case. How did a guy facing overwhelming evidence of guilt beat the rap?

    In this report you’ll learn how the Los Angeles County DA had a sure win if he’d just chosen to try the case in West Los Angeles, where the crime occurred.

    Instead, overconfidence and a desire for a conviction by a diverse jury led the DA to commit a colossal blunder.

  • WILL JOE BIDEN PARDON HIMSELF AND MOVE TO GREENLAND, AMERICA’S 51ST STATE?
    Jan 8 2025

    Are we in for the ultimate in irony? Biden pardons himself, after Dems blasted a presidential self-pardon as illegal? And if he DOESN’T pardon himself and Trump’s DOJ indicts him, he relies on SCOTUS’ “presidential immunity” decision, after Dems blasted it as wrong-headed?

    Plus, Canada as our 51st state is a stretch – but maybe Denmark wants to unload Greenland. Looks like we’d need to pay a cool $1 trillion. That’d buy a lot of pastries.
