Pull Up a Chair is where law meets life — and structured debate replaces hot takes. Hosted by Brandee Blocker Anderson and Haleh Rabizadeh— both lawyers, educators, authors, and entrepreneurs — this podcast brings the IRAC method (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Closure) out of the classroom and into culture. Each episode tackles real-world dilemmas — workplace ethics, imposter syndrome, nepotism, AI, power, gender, leadership, loyalty, ambition — and breaks them down with clarity, nuance, and intellectual honesty. We don’t argue to win. We argue to think better. As lawyers and longtime friends, we believe disagreement doesn’t require disrespect — and diverse friendships sharpen critical thinking. Pull Up a Chair is for people who value depth over noise, structure over chaos, and conversations that go beyond the algorithm. Because opinions are easy. Structured reasoning is rare. Law. Ethics. Real Life.
