Wahl on Law started with one goal: to make the law understandable. Important legal issues are often discussed in ways that feel confusing, overwhelming, or inaccessible. This podcast breaks down legal headlines, court decisions, and policy changes into clear explanations — from the perspective of a college student learning the system and bringing others along on the journey.
