Show Cause - A Memphis Law Podcast

Society EN ↓ 30 episodes

Show Cause is the official podcast of the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. Oftentimes, an order to show cause requires a party to give a judge more information to help explain something to the court. There's no judge here, but there is a lot of information (and misinformation) out there these days. This is our attempt at helping explain some of the things happening across the cultural and legal spectrums, with insight from our faculty, students, alumni, and community partners.
