Content warning: this episode contains mentions of grievous bodily harm. Hello drunk law students! We are back to bring you a special episode from the DLS archive--featuring a special guest, terrible birthday singing, legal malfeasance, a highly questionable adoption, and yes, man-eating dogs . This episode was recorded in May 2020. Enjoy! Show notes The Mamas & The Papas -- San Francisco You can find some of the naughty pics that Knoller sent to Paul Schneider here Further Reading (courtesy of Annelise) Rolling Stone article covering the case Articles on Knoller's initial sentencing and subsequent parole denial Whipple's partner, Sharon Smith, also succeeded in suing Knoller and Noel for $1,500,000 in civil damages. The civil case was notable in that the San Francisco Superior Court ruled in July 2001 that Smith was entitled to bring suit as Whipple's domestic partner under the Equal Protection Clause, against the defense's argument that a same-sex unmarried partner did not have standing. She donated some of the money to Saint Mary's College of California to fund the women's lacrosse team (where Whipple coached before her death).

We’ve been cooking up lots of good things over here at DLS emporium, including two new guest recordings! Instead of an episode this week, we encourage everyone to take a break. There has been a lot going on in the news: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing and the indictment (or lack thereof) in the Breonna Taylor case, among other things. Please take time to talk and reflect with your family, your friends, and yourself. And have an easy fast, if you observe. We are a Jewish podcast after all. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drunklawschool/support…

The year is 1789. Back in those days, having actual slap fights in public was considered bad form, and somebody usually died in a duel (looking at you, Alexander Hamilton).

Content warning: police brutality and anti-Black violence. Before you can sue a police officer under Section 1983, you have to pass a test—essentially demonstrating that your claim is good enough to proceed. It used to be that this test had four seemingly simple parts. But then Chief Justice Rehnquist came along. And the question is this—was William Rehnquist a reasonable man?
