Trigger Warning: Discussions of sex crimes, including those involving children For this week's episode, I'm sharing my latest conversation with criminal defense attorney and fellow fashion-loving lawyer @attorneystara. Stara and I focused on sexual assault cases for this discussion, including the criminal case of Sandra Birchmore and the civil case filed by Jane Doe regarding Cornell. We talked about whether we should even have statutes of limitations for sexual offenses, whether banning fraternities will help keep women safe, and how these cases actually work their way through the civil and criminal legal systems.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

I'm fresh from vacation and ready to dive back in!  We have a complete change in the Amy Griffin case from last week, with Jane Doe now deciding whether to abandon her original California case and move everything to Nevada.  There's major movement coming in the litigation involving Stephanie Jones and Jed Wallace, and I share some thoughts on Cornell and Clancy.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

Two of the biggest cases on our docket this week involve the same law, one I've worked with for many years. So, this week we're talking about Title IX. What does it require, and where do its requirements end? Should it be used to hold both Cornell and Washington State University accountable for actions within their communities? Should universities be involved in these matters in the first place? And why does men's entitlement seem to permeate everything right now?  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

This week I'm processing out loud what its like to be a content creator in the time of Clancy and the other cases that capture our attention. What do I give credence to, and what do I ignore? How do I compare your content to others' and what ethical limitations do I put on myself? This episode doesn't have a whole lot of answers, but if you are also scrolling and thinking "what is wrong with people?" you'll find this one relatable.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

After weeks of following the Clancy trial, I needed a whole episode to process the journey. We started with a coming together of women on the issue of postpartum struggles, then ended with a mistrial and Patrick sending cease and desist letters. What happened, and how did it evolve? What do we do with this last minute information about the holdout juror, if anything? And where does this leave us trying to discuss women's issues on the internet?  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

We all need a a break from heavy cases like Lindsay Clancy, so this week we're talking about litigation in the sports world, with special guest Mr. NAG. The New York Times was recently found liable for defamation for the first time in 50 years for reporting about a college basketball player. The SEC sued Louisiana State University last week over its attempt to bring players back from the NFL to play college games. Plus, the law firm hired by the NBA to look into violations of the salary cap rules issued its report-and its a how-to manual for violating the rules. We're discussing them all, including which cases we think are just for optics.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

If you've been following true crime but lawsuits make your head spin, this is the video for you! I'm breaking down the civil process, including all the insider information about how it really works in practice. Most importantly, I point out all the ways the media coverage can manipulate whats really happening, so you can read between the lines the same way I do.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

In this episode, Netflix points out the hypocrisy of Tyra Banks suing over her edit in the ANTM documentary in asking for the case to be thrown out. I'm thinking through all the factors that the parties might consider when trying to resolve the Amy Griffin case, including where Sam Lansky fits into it all. Plus, how fashion absolutely matters for lawyers.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

This week, we're looking at the Patrick Clancy theory as and example of critical thinking that may have gone too far, and how to recognize when a theory has jumped into conspiracy territory. Maricano has settled his case with Demi, and my head is swimming with the types of discovery that may now happen in the Amy Griffin case.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

This episode is a little bit of everything, from the speculation that Jane Doe wants to settle her case to why a lawyer's degree is a doctor but not a doctorate. I also share some tea on what it was like to meet up with the ladies in California.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

An episode we've all been waiting for! Little Girl Attorney and I sat down with Kevin Fritz of Meister Seelig & Schuster, who represents Wayfarer, to discuss the Lively case and what it's like to be a lawyer in highly publicized litigation. We talked about everything from Vanzan to how he became such a good writer, plus whether social media content was a positive or negative for the case.  Follow @littlegirlattorney on YouTube and TikTok Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

In this episode we look at the language of the Performer Agreement Marciano (and presumably, all the cast) signed for SLOMW, which the production company is trying to use to have his case thrown out. What do reality stars agree to give up, and will a court actually enforce it? Plus, new updates in the JP Morgan case, a big Candace Owen hearing, and whether Karen Read can sell her story to pay her lawyers.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

This episode is dedicated entirely to the hearings held on July 14th, 2026 in 2 of the 4 active civil cases involving Karen Read.  I take you into the Federal Court hearing in Read's civil rights case that the McCabes, Alberts, and Higgins are asking the court to dismiss-who was there, how the lawyers did, and what it seemed the judge was interested in.  Then I contrast that with the morning hearing where Read was the one asking the defamation case against her to be thrown out (and maybe starting to distance herself from Turtleboy).  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

The trajectory of Amy Griffin's storytelling creates real credibility problems, though at this stage of the case the more important question is Claudia's identity. Brendan Sorsby may be done litigating with the NFL, but I see a potential fight with Paramount on the horizon as their docuseries on Texas Tech gets ready to sir. An important update on the cases where teachers were fired for comments about Charlie Kirk's death, proving the First Amendment is alive and well.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden

You asked, I'm delivering: breaking down the lawsuit over the term Hot Girl Walk and whether anyone can actually own a viral term. Brad is doing what he does every time he scores a minor discovery win, and now we can see the pattern. Also, I haven't forgotten about Karen Read, and neither should you.  Want to go deeper?  If you want deeper dives, bonus episodes, and some very honest work-and-life talk, come hang out with me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/notactuallygolden/membership   Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notactuallygolden?lang=en and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notactuallygolden
