Attorney Sarah Avraham and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day.
 
The audience should know that although Ms. Avraham is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.
 
This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.
Race-based admissions policies in higher education prevailed in June, with the Supreme Court ruling narrowly to uphold a program that helps minority students get into the University of Texas.  Abigail Fisher, a white woman, argued the University of Texas’ rejection of her 2008 application violated the Constitution's equal protection clause.  Why was her argument rejected by SCOTUS?  Is affirmative action still needed in the United States today?  What did SCOTUS have to say about that very thing?  Tune in to hear the hosts debate this still hot topic.
