The Law of the Land Podcast

In this episode of Law of the Land, we spoke with attorney Matthew Dietz of the Disability Independence Group to discuss his journey about empowering people with disabilities to become self-advocates by giving them access to the tools they need to be educated on their legal rights. Our wide-ranging conversation touches on the origins of the Americans with Disabilities Act and navigating a complex healthcare system.

In this episode of The Law Of The Land, we focused on Intellectual Property Rights. We spoke with attorney Kaustubh Nadkarni one of South Florida's most successful practitioners of intellectual property law. From patents to trademarks to copyright, Nadkarni's work today owes much to Marshall's 1803 ruling in Marbury versus Madison. Recently, we sat down with Nadkarni to discuss his attraction to IP law, where its origins lie, where he thinks it's going.

In this episode of The Law Of The Land, we sat down with Yechezkel Rodal Esq., a practicing attorney in South Florida, to explore the impact he could make with civil rights legislation. When the 42nd Congress of the United States passed the Enforcement Act in 1871, the wounds of the Civil War were still fresh in every American's mind, the reunification efforts stalling on political, legal, and racial lines. As it came to be known, the Civil Rights Act of 1871 was introduced to protect the voting rights of newly emancipated slaves. While the language of the legislation has changed little since the 19th Century, its subsequent interpretations by the Supreme Court have altered the trajectory of American civil rights discourse.

What role should the Supreme Court play in our divided, polarized country? How is the Supreme Court evolving with the American people, and how is it honoring the ideas of the Founding Fathers?
