Stanford Legal, a biweekly podcast that delves into the cases, questions, conflicts, and legal issues that are making headlines and driving debates nationally and globally, relaunched in November after a yearlong hiatus. Co-hosted by SLS professors Pamela Karlan and Richard Thompson Ford (BA ’88), Stanford Legal airs every other Thursday and is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, among other apps. Stanford Legal is a continuation of SLS’s radio show of the same name that ran on Sirius XM from 2017 to 2022.

“Our goal is to make often-complex legal and policy issues accessible and relevant to the general public, while also providing insight and sophisticated discussions of the issues,” says Karlan, Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Professor of Public Interest Law. According to Ford, George E. Osborne Professor of Law, “Stanford Legal’s content is informed by our belief that some of the most interesting legal discussions can be found in everyday life, where we don’t always think about the influence of the law on how we behave and what we think.” SL
