These three episodes can help you: Take a break from the real world of nasty election politics and dive into a fictional one. Find out how to quit selling and help clients buy. Take a closer look at Covid-19 shutdowns and Ohio’s liability shield.
ONE: If the real world is taking its toll, voting rights lawyer turned novelist Steven Wright has an escape route. Modern Law Library host Lee Rawles explores the world of dark money campaigns and election chicanery in Wright’s book “The Coyotes of Carthage.” Wright shares his real-world experiences that inspired the characters, plot and location of his story. He and Rawles talk about his journey to creative writing, teaching his University of Wisconsin Law School classes remotely, and his plans for a TV series based on his book.

TWO: In the Kennedy Mighell Report, hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell take on a major pain point for lawyers: selling their legal services. Their guest, business industry expert Bob Moesta, founder of The Re-Wired Group, explains how lawyers can find more sales success if they quit selling. Instead, Moesta says lawyers should walk in their client’s shoes, see what they see, feel what they feel, and learn what outcomes they need as opposed to services they’re seeking.
THREE: Legal Talk Today’s host Laurence Colletti speaks with constitutional law Professor Eugene Volokh about Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 shutdown order and what made it run afoul of free speech protections. Colletti explores another pandemic-related topic in an episode taking a look at Ohio’s COVID-19 liability shield.
