Ignorance of the law is no excuse! That's true for a traffic stop, and it's true if you want to participate in whatever's left of American democracy. If the events since the 2016 election taught us anything, it's that tuning out is not an option. Legal journalists Liz Dye and Andrew Torrez break down the week's most important courtroom stories, so you can keep on top of this crazy news cycle.

Legal Reporting and Humor Par Excellence

CALaBreche4/9/2026

It is difficult to adequately praise Law and Chaos’s hosts enough for their informative, snarky, nerdy, and ethically sound approach to legal reporting. Liz Dye had won me over through her work on the YouTube Legal Eagle channel, and finding her partnership podcast with Andrew Torrez has been a double win that brightens my day. Their spot on explanation of the U.S. legal process combined with comical asides and encouragement for everyone who still believes in democracy is a privilege to hear twice a week. Humorously educating people on otherwise dry matters is a gift- this podcast makes an often dark world a bit brighter- this is a podcast worth your time.

Informative and entertaining

Liz an Andrew’s way of covering things week to week is great for making sense of the stream of material coming out of the headline mills.

MORE NERDY

Love the pod. Love Liz and Andrew, and how Liz reigns in Andrew’s geekery and Andrew steadies the rails on Liz’ justifiable rage at the world’s current incompetence - and also will rattle them too when appropriate! Perfect balance of the team - and I have to admit… I gotta hear the Magic the Gathering case. It’s already so nerdy … lean into it! Thanks for a great pod.

Excellent review of current events

I find Liz and Andrew’s coverage of topics superb. Yes, they are unapologetic lefties (as am I) so their opinions are left leaning. But what I appreciate is that when they address a topic they bring facts to the table; and actually use existing case law to support their opinions. If your from the other side of the aisle yes it might be annoying to hear them sometimes make fun of your side; but when they disagree with your policy it’s not vibes they are running on; it’s actual facts. And as they are practicing lawyers who don’t want to be disbarred for knowingly lying to the public; when they present something as evidence; it’s real evidence, not the gibberish you see on Newsmax. So long story short; this show deserves a weekly listen
