Episode 1: A Lawyer, a Jew, and a Music Afficionado Walk Into a Bar...Oh Wait, That's Just Robert Epstein.

Shady Lawyer Podcast

Welcome to The Shady Lawyer Podcast, the world's premier legal podcast for the lawyer, law student, and layperson, alike. It’s our first episode, so if you’re listening, congrats—you’re ahead of the curve. In this episode, I sit down with the incomparable Robert Epstein, a lawyer who’s somehow managed to juggle Judaism, running a law firm, and a love for rock legends with equal aplomb.

Here’s What You'll Hear:

Judaism: Religion or race?

Judaism’s Role in Law: We get into how Jewish values and traditions sneak their way into the law.

Jewish Stereotypes: Yep, we went there. Jewish guilt and other clichés. Are stereotypes wrong if they're factually right?

Quitting Booze and Finding Clarity: Robert opens up about his journey to ditch the drinks, how it’s changed his life, and why he doesn’t miss the hangovers one bit.

Running a Law Firm: Robert drops some knowledge about what it’s like to start and run a high-brow firm.

Rock Legends: Dylan, Springsteen, The Stones, The Dead—if you don’t know who these people are, your folks failed you.
