The biggest law-related stories of ther week... Ghislaine Maxwell denied Bail. Missouri couple indicted. Flynn response bried. Face mask laws. Portland mayhemm.

The biggest case stories of the week explained. Donald Trump commutes Roger Stone's sentence. Judge Sullivan just won't give up on Michael Flynn. Explaining what just happened in Oklahoma. And the SCOTUS Presidential tax records judgment explained. 

This week's podcast is a great one. Breaking down the Ghislaine Maxwell indictment. Why now? What changed? What's in the indictment? Claira Janover, Harvard graduate, making "metaphoric" threats, facing backlash. And some more court orders of the constitutionality of mandatory facemarks and lockdown orders. Enjoy!

It finally happened: The Viva & Barnes: Law for the People Podcast. This is the audio from our live-streams on YouTube. Special thanks to Eric of Unstructured Podcasts for puling the audio. I will post the previous live streams for your listening pleasure. On this stream we talk Michael Flynn update (writ of mandamus issued); Carpe Donktum Twitter ban and DMCA issues; Legal Eagle's FOIA lawsuit; and other fun stuff. Enjoy!

This is the story I call the "(L)awful Injustice of Willie Nash" - a 39-year-old father of three who was sentenced to 12 years in jail because he he possessed his cell phone on him in a correctional facility after being booked on a misdemeanour charge. I call it "(L)awful" because the sentencing is both awful, yet lawful in that it complies with the letter of the law. Enjoy the podcast. And share away. 

Pivoting from the recent judgment in the Akilah, Obviously vs. Carl Benjamin (i.e Sargon of Akkad) lawsuit, we talk about the nuances of the solicitor-client relationship. Does the client follow the lawyer's advice? Or does the lawyer follow the client's instructions? My thoughts, insights, and a little pop culture knowledge for those who are not totally immersed in the YouTube world. Enjoy! Share! And know the vlawg. 

This is a new leg in my journey. From law to YouTube, I'm bringing the vlawg to the podcast world. This is the first episode of many - who I am, and what Viva le Podcast is about. Enjoy! Share! And peace out!
