IllAdvised Resources
A continually updated list of podcasts, stacks, and websites etc that deal with important legal issues
This list will be updated as I get more info. Feel free to suggest other resources in the comments. I will post sites I disagree with, if they have value. I am looking for serious legal analysis (including the law analysed from a theological or other position), serious pointing back to original sources.
If you are the author etc of one of these sites, I would love to do an interview (in writing) with you and post it.
LII Legal Information Institute
