On this episode of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show, special guest Dean Benjamin Barros of Stetson Law School joins Patrick for a deep dive into his proposed “Amendment on Amendments” — a thoughtful reform of Article V designed to make the U.S. Constitution slightly easier to propose and clarify the amendment process, striking a better balance between stability and democratic adaptability.
Patrick also reveals the Top 10 places people turn for legal advice from non-attorneys (friends & family, Google, social media, AI, Reddit, court clerks, police officers, financial pros, real estate agents, and TV/movies) — and why most of them can land you in trouble.
Plus:
- Follow-ups on last week’s spite fence doctrine and censorship discussions (including emoji regulation and Maddie’s take on “It’s a Small World” as the ultimate neighbor-annoying song)
- Listener calls on constitutional changes, term limits, and more
- Estate planning tips, including the popular “Mama & Papa Bear” packages for college-bound adult children
- Studio fun with Isaiah, Spike, and clips from Maddie the Surfer Girl
Whether you’re a constitutional law nerd or just want practical legal guidance, this episode delivers insight, humor, and real-world takeaways.
