Your Guide to the Top Legal Podcasts
Podcasts are a modern phenomenon of the web, and one of many popular media types for the modern consumer of information. They are digital files released as MP3 downloads for listening at leisure on a computer or mobile device. Not everybody likes to read a webpage and podcasts are useful to play during a commute into work. Here is Record Grabber’s recommended list of legal podcasts.
ABA Journal
The journal has not one but four podcasts covering a myriad of legal issues. These are: Modern Law Library (a discussion of legal theory featuring some top brains from the legal world), Law Student Podcast (about issues affecting schooling and students), Legal Rebels (about the trendsetters in law), and Asked & Answered (a Q&A podcast session)
