You loved L.A. Law. You thought Twelve Angry Men was the best movie you ever saw. When the O.J. trial was over, you wept. Now's your chance to listen to WGN's award-winning legal talk show "Legally Speaking" with Chicago attorneys Greg Adamski and Karen Conti.
Even if you don't know the difference between a plaintiff and defendant and you think that habeas corpus is a restaurant in Greek Town, you'll love listening to Greg and Karen give their legal insights on current news stories, argue with each other about controversial verdicts, and interview interesting lawyers and litigants. And, during their "Ask the Lawyer" segment, they will take your calls on every imaginable legal topic.
Some of the topics you might hear on the show:
The show is not a technical discussion for lawyers only! It is a lively discussion of the interesting aspects of our legal system using examples from political, sports, and celebrity news and, of course, listener call-ins.
In 2009, Greg and Karen won a Meritorious Achievement Kogan Award for their popular "You are the Jury" segment, in which the partners argue a real fact pattern and listeners call in with their verdict.
