    Excellent
    I appreciate that the underlying reasoning of both (sometimes even more than 2) parties are fairly presented — all without compromising the biblical viewpoint of the podcasters.
  • Dave and Annie
    We love Legal Docket
    Thank you for these interesting and informative case coverages. We are learning so much about the court and the cases that we would never know. We are loving it!

    My experience with Legal Docket
    I have listened to Legal Docket since it was first released. Each season provides me with fresh insight and coverage of current cases and the impact that they are likely to have on my business and the ministry that I am a part of. It’s extremely helpful in letting me know the direction the wind is blowing as I seek to navigate.

    Boston Marathon Scotus Decision
    I look forward to Legal Docket because I learn much about America’s legal system- like today “a judge’s job is to decide on law, a jury’s job is to decide on facts”, and the explanation how this SC supported the trial judge in its deciding opinion, based on The Constitution not on the Appeal’s Court preference, all is so fascinating to me. My son is an attorney in Virginia and your program keeps me alert to the language-court-speak he might use at the bench, explaining many Latin terms, besides feeding the appreciation I have for America’s judicial system. Thank you, Mary and Jenny, and your LD team! Your podcast is Top Shelf! Brenda Davis Antioch California

    Worth the Wait
    Takes the lofty place of the Supreme Court and brings it right into our living room with no compromise of the very serious issues at stake in each case. I wait for it every week.

    Brilliant Legal Reporting
    The show on John Henry Ramirez was extremely well-researched and provocative. I listened on October 19. I then Googled to see if he was executed on October 5. He was. I was saddened yet relieved that justice was done. Thanks for a moving broadcast.
  • Nadadrop
    My favorite podcast by far
    Since this podcast began, I have been a huge fan. Mary and Jenny do an excellent job of reviewing and learning about the cases they cover. Their research is thorough and their interviews and sound bites only add to the interest. I wait anxiously for new shows and feel sad when a season ends. I have learned more from this podcast than any other that I listen to, and I listen to many podcasts. Great work to the whole team of producers, editors, writers, and of course, to Mary and Jenny.

    Insightful information about US Supreme Court processes
    After listening to “the world and everything in it”, I got very interested in the Legal Docket segments, so I subscribed and I’ve been following it since. I’m a computer engineer, so It’s “weird” to say that a legalese podcast on US Supreme Court cases has caught my attention this much. While listening, every time I think “oh, but what about _______”, some minutes later they cover that argument or question as well. It’s very very in depth and makes you think while explaining technicalities. This is a must-hear for everyone that cares about our justice system.

  • DougWoodford
    Outstanding Podcast!
    Legal docket should be required listening four college students and anyone in the legal field. It covers so many topics with interesting discussions with experts in the fields being discussed. Mary Reichard and Jenny Rough provide background information which makes the legal principles involved easy to understand for the layman. Hearing the interplay between the Supreme Court justices and the lawyers adds great insight into the workings of the Supreme Court, and makes the podcast so much more interesting! Kudos on another terrific season!

    Insights into the workings of the Supreme Court
    I absolutely love this podcast as it’s helped me to gain insights into the Supreme Court. Where else can you actually listen to the justices discussing the details of a case? It’s fascinating to listen to how they process the facts of each case. Each podcast is well researched and clearly presented. Thank you for making this information so accessible to the public!

    Legal Docket
    We love all episodes of Legal Docket, most recently “Jumping the Gun” and “Death Row Prayer”. Mary Reichard does such an awesome job sharing how the scotus works, and explaining these cases. Thank you Mary and thank you World!! More recently, Freedom Fighter was especially interesting. I read Virginia Prodan’s book so was familiar with her story. Mary actually recommended it to me. I loved how Virginia’s assassin ended up writing his piece in the book. Thanks again World!
  • Paxrem
    Balanced, Researched and Biblical
    A huge amount of work goes into these topical cases, helping me to better understand the situation and process of how they are handled. We get a balanced view upon which I come to rely because I know the team is coming from Biblical truths we can trust.

    Fantastic podcast
    I believe I have listened to every episode. Mary and Jenny do great work explaining Supreme Court cases in a way that ordinary people can understand them. This is not dry or boring but very interesting. I cannot recommend this more for people who care about where their culture is going.

  • CiscoKid56
    Nicely done
    My family has never understood why I watch C-SPAN and the Supreme Court coverage. I think it’s important that we all know what’s really going on. Your podcast is clean and precise. Represents both sides in a well balanced way. Thanks.

    Great Podcast
    I echo the words of others. I’m learning much. I appreciate that you take the time to let each side express their opinions. Even as you consider the Supreme Court’s decision you let each side have its response. Others broadcast can learn important principles from you. Thank you.
  • A. Lep
    Such Important Information Explained Well
    This podcast does a wonderful job of summarizing decisions/opinions and explaining the reasoning and the implications of these opinions. I looked forward to season two the whole school year!
  • Grateful History Buff
    Most balanced legal topics podcast I’ve found
    This podcast is amazing, deeply informative, and does an excellent job at presenting both sides of each issue fairly. That makes it unique among the countless other legal podcasts out there, many of which are quite clearly biased towards one side or the other.
  • been called Superman
    Good job!
    Thanks for trying to present all sides of an issue. The major network journalists could learn from you.

  • reverend matt
    Excellent writing. Honest reporting. Truly educational, informative, and inspiring!
    I can highly recommend this podcast- especially for those who are like me. Before listening I knew very little about the Supreme Court. I knew even less about many of the cases that they hear. The summary of the court’s activity has helped me become more informed. It has also given me a greater understanding of how our government works. And it makes me grateful for this branch of our government and our country. Thank you World for another great product. Well done!

  • Lizzie Kiesle
    Must listen to podcast!
    I love this podcast - I’m hooked from the very beginning as we hear the justices recite the oath of office! It always gives me chills to hear them all say “so help me God” - such a creative and perfect intro to the podcast. Thank you for producing this amazing podcast - I have never been super interested in the law/legal matters but now I just have to learn more! Insightful from the start with the episode on the death penalty case- great job on presenting many sides of a complex issue.
