567: Law Every 1L Should Know -- Constitutional Law
Aug 3, 202621 min
Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In this episode, we're discussing fundamental concepts that are taught in first-year Con Law classes. First, we'll look at justiciability – the set of threshold doctrines that decide whether a federal court is allowed to hear a constitutional case in the first place. Then we'll move to the individual rights side and dig into the single most important analytical tool in the entire area – the levels of scrutiny (sometimes called standards of review). We'll finish by working through a fact pattern that ties it all together. Thanks to Juno for sponsoring this episode!

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're diving into the fundamentals of criminal law. First, we'll walk through the building blocks of any crime – the elements that the prosecution has to prove for someone to be found guilty. Then we'll take those building blocks and apply them to the single most heavily tested topic in 1L Criminal Law – homicide. We'll see how the different homicide crimes are really distinguished by the defendant's mental state, and we'll work through a fact pattern at the end. Thanks to Juno for sponsoring this episode!

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
