Lawyers with YouTube channels have been doing live shows where they share their thoughts, as the trial happens. Is this a good idea? Are they armchair quarterbacks, or are they educating the public about our legal system? This follows with a conversation about international border disputes. Have you ever heard of the “Whiskey War” between Denmark and Canada? Hans Island is a prime example of how border disputes could (and maybe should) be handled. The American…
