Jim Santelle, a former United States Attorney in Wisconsin and Justice Department official in Washington, is among Civic Media’s resident legal commentators and frequent on-air analysts. Join Jim each Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for “Amicus: A Law Review,” as current events meet civics understanding—through in-depth analysis and discussion (including your listener calls) of the most recent developments in the areas of law, government, courts, and the aspiration for justice.

On this weekend's edition of Amicus: A Law Review, Jim highlights the World Court's bold climate change ruling urging global responsibility and contrasts that to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's controversial rollback on greenhouse gas policies.

Jim also takes a look at federal court rulings, notably the Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation saga, spotlighting judicial pushback against government overreach. Th show discusses the Supreme Court's use of the shadow docket, with recent decisions allowing the president to fire Consumer Product Safety Commission members and in a case involving challenges to the Voting Rights Act in North Dakota. Santelle also covers the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga, emphasizing Occam's razor in understanding the convoluted case that has made its way back into the nation's headlines.
