Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

 Usury:  i.e., lending money privately at an illegally high interest rate:  a recent case with very unusual facts.  the Judge found a way to do "what was right," despite the particular law in place.  and the case held several lessons for folks who lend or borrow money from "friends.".   Non-Compete Agreements:  now that the Federal Trade Commission is outlawing the enforcement of most of them, we discussed how they'll affect employees – and the employers who may rely upon them.  The lawsuits challenging the rule started literally within hours of the rule being announced by the FTC. Calls:  One guy with a complex fact pattern and a question whether his "friend" could sue him for sending the friend's lawyer a link to an old, unflattering news article about the "friend." Then another call from a guy now living in New Hampshire (but who says he listened for years and continues to do so) who wanted listeners to know that the non-profit Lawyer Referral Service helped him out extremely well  and he was most pleased.
