Introducing: Shoveling Smoke – A Frantz Ward Lawcast

Season 01 Introduction

Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that “lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.” One interpretation of his remark is that lawyers take a vague concept or principle and give it shape, clearing away the smoke. Our podcast series will focus on current legal issues and news items that may affect your business, your community, or you as an individual. Our attorneys – sometimes with a judge, client, or other guest – will spend 15-20 minutes exploring an issue and, at the end, provide a few takeaways to assist you in making sense of the gray areas of law.
