When Law Firms Settle, What Message Does It Send?

In this clip from See You In Court, Professor Stephen Vladek explains why law firm responses to government pressure matter beyond any single firm. When large firms settle instead of allowing courts to rule, what message does that send to smaller firms, lawyers, and the public?

This clip is part of a broader conversation with Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate about the shadow docket, the Supreme Court, due process, and the rule of law.

What If a President Ignores the Supreme Court?

In this clip from See You In Court, Professor Stephen Vladeck addresses one of the most serious questions in constitutional law: what happens if a president refuses to follow a court ruling?

The conversation begins with the famous Andrew Jackson quote often repeated in discussions about presidential power and court authority. Professor Vladeck explains why that history is more complicated than the quote suggests, then connects the issue to today’s debate over courts, presidential power, and the rule of law.

Why Supreme Court Transparency Matters

In this clip from See You In Court, Professor Steve Vladeck explains why unsigned and unexplained Supreme Court orders can affect public confidence in the Court.

The concern is not simply whether the justices reach the right outcome. The deeper issue is whether the public can understand the legal reasoning behind the decision. When that reasoning is missing, it can make the Court appear more political, even when legal principles may support the result.

The Lost Art of Settlement Conversations

Nick Moraitakis has seen mediation evolve from both sides of the courtroom and now as a full-time mediator.

In this short clip, he shares a concern about modern litigation: lawyers are often getting to mediation before they have had serious settlement conversations with each other. That shift, he explains, puts more pressure on the mediation process and can make resolution harder than it needs to be.
