  • Morning Podcast Listener
    Bring Pro Say back!!
    I started listening to Pro Say as a paralegal on my commutes into the office and continued listening through law school to stay on top of what was happening in the legal world. The hosts were great: upbeat and engaging. The content was always relevant, sufficiently explained, interesting, and not always information that comes across my radar from other sources. I miss listening to the hosts’ cheery voices on my morning commutes and starting my day having already learned something relevant to my work. Bring back Law360’s Pro Say!!!

    This was my favorite legal news podcast.

    Bring Law 360 Back
    This podcast delivered excellent and timely legal related news infused with comedy, sarcasm and snarkiness. Some corporate decisions do not make sense and I will not understand why this podcast was canceled. It's a HUGE loss to the greater community. Right this wrong and ressurect this podcast.
  • aimeemarie77
    Bring Pro-Say Back, Please!
    I listen to all of the Law360 podcasts as a part of my preparation to teach my undergraduate and graduate law classes. The hosts were funny and engaging! The topics were well-chosen and the coverage provided enough context so that I could gauge whether to use the examples in class. It is really sad that this podcast has been canceled—it made the Law360 platform seem much more accessible and relevant.
  • Sophiajay97777
    Please bring this back!!!
    I didn’t know I could get so attached to a podcast. Started listening to ProSay during my first year of law school and haven’t stopped since. The hosts are great, the topics, are interesting, and I always feel up to date on the most important legal knows. Dropping this show was a mistake….
  • EveryNameWasTaken83833928
    Nooooooooo!
    I’m a first gen lawyer so when I started law school in 2017, I looked for podcasts that would help me learn more about the industry. I have listened to every episode and the show consistently remained informative, digestible, and entertaining, even as my journey through the industry progressed. So sad to be losing something that has been one of the very few constants through the years of starting my career.
  • Shanalc
    LLLLLLLexis, you’re making a mistake.
    Such a great show. No doubt the hosts will be given other opportunities where they succeed in proceeding quality legal content. Its a shame it won’t continue to be together on ProSay….
  • TorTor8
    Sad to see it go…
    I listen to a few different legal podcasts and this is by far my favorite. The hosts are great and actually bring perspective and personality to the show unlike some other legal podcasts. I love the offbeat segment where they talk about the oddball legal news. Hopefully we can see a new fun podcast from law360 with these hosts as they will be missed.
  • YSWS13011
    So sad Lexis canceled the show
    I looked forward to new episodes every Friday, and I’m incredibly sad to hear that Lexis made a very poor decision to cut the show. Original review from 6 years ago: Every law nerd should listen Short segments discussing deeply nerdy stuff. I dig it.
  • vessel10
    Unfortunate ending
    This is such a good show about legal issues explained in layman terms with clarity and humor. Who do we speak or write to so that decision may be reversed? Completely absurd to end it so abruptly.
  • ProSeIsGreat
    Bring it back!
    For years this has been my favorite podcast, one that I’ve recommended to all my lawyer friends. As an attorney who most certainly does NOT work in big law, this podcast kept me up to speed on what’s happening in the legal world but with humor! Shame on Law360 for pulling the plug on such a meaningful and successful podcast.
  • marshraaaaaaaaa
    Great show
    Bummer that it’s ended! Loved having this podcast in my weekly rotation but I hope the hosts are now free to do more awesome things moving forward.
  • Christine Pinnk
    Sad to See You Go
    Can’t believe it’s really ending!! Thank you so much for the amazing podcast, it got me through law school. The team has an incredible ability to provide so much information in an engaging way. It’s really a travesty that it’s ending.
  • dumbflunkiesavant
    What the What?
    Canceled? Is Frank Cross running LexisNexis? I’m absolutely disappointed in this decision. Amber, Hailey and Alex, you always made my Monday morning runs the best! I can’t wait for your next adventures. (Anyone at Crooked Media listening?) Keep on keeping on.
  • Retriever_fever
    I’m sorry to see you go.
    Perhaps I should have left a review sooner, but alas… here we are. I am going to miss your banter and wonderfully delightful take on legal news. You guys rocked, and I’m just sorry I waited until now to say it.

    My Favorite Podcast
    This podcast took me from my factory job through to my last semester of law school. It was my friend on runs between finals, on drives to class, on walks from networking events, and on journeys home for the holidays. It gave me law topics to bring up with my family and my lawyer friends. I have often described it as the perfect podcast. It may sound silly, but I started using Lexis because of this show. I know I’m not alone in that. A whole generation of lawyers considers Lexis the “cool” service based on media like Pro Say. This decision is bafflingly tone deaf, and the company will feel the repercussions of a stained brand image. If the team reads this, know that you made law fun for me. I would not be where I am today without your hard work. I will follow you wherever you go, even if you (wink) want to pull a Top Gear. Bloomberg and Reuters should be beating a path to your doors. Thank you.

    Sad it’s ending
    As a recovering lawyer, I listen to a lot of legal podcasts, but I looked forward to Pro Say at the end of every week - it’s less in the weeds than others but a lot of fun and had wide coverage. I’m very sad it’s ending, and I hope either lexis reconsiders or the hosts find another outlet to continue.
  • Rebeljew
    Sorry to see you go
    It has been a great run! Be proud of it.

    Update your “about” section. Why isn’t Chris listed?
  • Steady Jake
    LOVE Pro Say
    These guys are the best
  • themaddyj
    the news, but if it was smart and good-humored!
    I find this to be a great general-interest podcast. I appreciate the good-natured, engaging slice of current events I get without having to suffer through the polarized mania of a lot of news/social media. I really enjoy the hosts’ wry commentary and banter with each other, and as a bonus, I get to stock up on anecdotes to casually trot out with my lawyer friends and colleagues.
  • Shleeferg
    Great bite sized news!
    Love this show! Perfect length, love the variety of current news. Fits in perfect to a commute rotation.
  • lost listener 1
    Too much chit chat
    They spend too much time catching up. The opinions lean far left.
  • knabe19
    Too much irrelevant chit-chat
    You can reliably skip the first ten minutes of this pod, because it consists of people saying “hey!” to each other.
  • Mcshins13
    Comedians
    This show is proof that lawyers are not very good at comedy. Although their commentary is on point (I hesitate to say “excellent” after one of their guests suggested that the National Archives “own the Presidential Records” or something like that”), there is too much banter and ongoing attempts to be humorous. They are also loud, and that’s not my volume setting.
  • N books 1900
    Biased
    This show is biased towards allegations being true and against the conservative Supreme Court. I urge the commentators to keep doing great work, but remember not everyone lives in a big city and thinks like you.
  • Green Kleen
    Callous discussion of serious issues
    In discussing Depp’s defamation trial, the hosts failed to acknowledge serious accusations of domestic abuse, and instead fed into misogynistic narratives vilifying the accuser. They failed to discuss the scary repercussions this will have on other victims of domestic violence. Don’t discuss something like domestic violence, which impacts 1/3 of women, in such an insensitive manner. It’s offensive and only causes more harm to survivors.
  • Tonysnyder1977
    More liberal garbage
    This podcast is less than worthless. If you’re looking for some liberal MSNBC garbage, you’ll enjoy this podcast. These podcasters bring literally nothing to the game other than to be an echo chamber for liberal extremist, and that’s redundant, ideology. You will never hear any voice on this podcast that is center, and certainly not right of center, ideology.
  • Rebeccas262
    Wow the bias in the last episode
    Not even trying anymore
  • Teacher Scoop
    Not just for lawyers
    While I found this show while searching for a law podcast, it is a much more than a legal discussion. While the topics are framed through the world of law, the stories are interesting to everyone, and the hosts have a great chemistry.

    Enjoy listening to this podcast. PS: But, pease delete “unpack” from your vocabulary when you are analyzing a story.
  • Appalled21325
    Lost the Plot
    I’m a long time listener and appreciate many years of great Friday listens - but in the last couple months the show (summer / fall 2021) and hosts have really lost the plot. What set the show apart was its law first, politics a distant second stance - understanding that the two are often inseparable - the hosts in past years have done a reasonable job of balancing and often maintaining a sort of light heartedness in an episode even when handling very heavy subjects. That effort has seemingly been abandoned in favor of broad brush issue coverage and that’s a shame. Not saying there isn’t a point in covering a variety of social issues - I just wasn’t hear (pun intended) primarily for that. Thanks for all the past seasons.
  • ICB1996
    Great for legal news
    New Lawyer here. This podcast is a great and fun way to keep up with all things law!
  • Superlindzi
    Wonderful Podcast!
    You do not have to be a lawyer to enjoy this podcast! The hosts are amazing and clearly have great chemistry. I’m definitely digging the movie club episodes.
  • Dasilva164
    Great Podcast!
    I rarely care enough to leave a review of anything but this podcast is great. The hosts are funny, smart, and and know what they are talking about. Would recommend to anyone interested in law!
  • Fyyfghtwgjd
    Great legal news podcast
    One of my favorite podcasts to listen to with a good balance of legal news and fun interactions between hosts. Highly recommended.
  • Jason-5
    Super informative and entertaining!
    I’m not a lawyer but have an interest in law. This crew does a great job of bringing you very interesting stories at an approachable, but still informative and in depth level. I look forward to this podcast every week!

    Look forward to it every week!
    I am an incoming law student obsessed with political and legal news podcasts. This is one of my favorites. Only complaint is it’s only one episode a week!! I look forward to listening to it with every new episode. Highly recommend!
  • señor sarcasm
    Very good
    I’m an aspiring attorney and I really like this podcast. The hosts are upbeat and keep things interesting and insightful. My only issue with it is a technical one from my days doing audio production: hosts, if you’re reading this please buy yourselves some pop filters. The plosives are quite loud and I find it really distracting.
  • jomermcklanski
    Justice is blind. This podcast is biased.
    If you want your preconceived notions of woke justice confirmed, then this podcast is for you.
  • Court. D. L.
    Incredible!
    I’m an attorney and I absolutely love this podcast — I look forward to it every week. I love how funny and lighthearted it is. They somehow manage to make legal news entertaining!
  • dstnyng
    Good Podcast but...
    This is a really good podcast but you can definitely hear the hosts political views bleed through. I like when they keep the topics relevant to actual pending cases and opinions of the court. Some weeks they tend to recap major headlines and this isn’t really the forum for that. For instance the last episode did a recap of Presidential executive orders, but until one is challenged in court it shouldn’t be discussed here. Sticking to actual legal action would help keep politics out, at least I feel it would. Other than that the hosts do a great job breaking down the sometimes complicated legal process and do a really great job of interpreting legal opinions.
  • redsquid5
    Leftist jargon at all times
    The crew of this show have shown they are left leaning and use words that all liberal media use to speak of anyone who supports Trump and any conservative voice. If you can get past their liberal media bias you do, at times, get good case law and legal update.
  • JR7777777788
    Love this podcast, legal topics with lots of fun
    I love getting my legal updates here. I’m laughing and crying while listening to the Supreme Court Cafeteria’s Yelp reviews.
  • Happy Sangmo
    Love this!!!
    I love this podcast but I just wish Amber gets to finish her sentences before the two interjects all the time. It was getting really annoying to me. I love all three but just feels that his voices are way over the top of her voice. Just from my listening perspective!
  • Mark 75422357899
    Excellent Podcast!
    This is a really great podcast. The hosts do a great job presenting legal news that I find interesting. I’m not a lawyer, but every time I listen to an episode I think I should become one.
  • Cooper A Loop
    Accessible & Informative
    I have not studied law, but I have always been interested in it. These lawyers make sometimes enigmatic content accessible to those that aren’t as familiar with legal terms. A new favorite!
  • Lech1910
    This podcast is solid!
    I enjoy this podcast immensely! The three hosts jive well together, which I find it hard to do with a three person podcast. they’re informative and I find their content to the point. Thank you for the great content!
  • bfarring
    Amazing Podcast
    This is my favorite legal podcast. As a practicing attorney who enjoys the news of the law, I’m always happy when there is a new episode. The show takes the law seriously, but the hosts don’t take themselves too seriously. Would give it six stars if I could!
