In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey tackle two very real, but very different topics.

They start with a tough conversation about caring for aging parents and the harsh realities of elder care laws, costs, and responsibilities. From guardianships and Medicaid to what happens when loved ones can no longer care for themselves, they talk through what families need to know, and why the system often fails middle-class Americans.

Then... they switch gears to the headlines surrounding recent incidents at major theme parks like Disney and Universal. The hosts discuss where liability really falls when accidents happen, what those waiver agreements mean when you buy a ticket, and how misinformation can spread faster than the truth online. It’s a mix of real-life law, compassion, and the practical side of navigating complex systems, with a touch of Lawmas humor, of course.

In this episode, Lauren and Lacey mix pop culture with a dose of legal reality!

The episode starts with a reminder about kindness and mental health as the holidays approach, reflecting on how stress and silent struggles can affect anyone, even attorneys. The conversation turns to the legal headlines: Kim Kardashian’s latest setback on the California bar exam, and South Carolina politics, where claims about Attorney General Alan Wilson spark a discussion on misinformation and how the justice system really works.

From bond hearings to sentencing, the hosts break down what’s fact versus fiction and remind listeners why understanding the law matters before sharing, or believing, what’s online.

In this post-Halloween episode, Lauren and Lacey trade spooky season for true crime as they discuss the new Netflix documentary on serial killer Aileen Wuornos....Lacey’s long-time “favorite case.”

The conversation transitions into how sexism, trauma, and the justice system collided in Wuornos’s trial, from a prosecutor accused of hiding evidence to a judge forced to recuse herself for being “too fair.” They discuss how society’s views of sex work and empathy for victims have evolved, and why Wuornos’s story raises deeper legal and moral questions about accountability, trauma, and the death penalty.

It’s the Halloween episode of The Lawmas Podcast, and things get spooky! Lauren and Lacey are joined by their producer, Wendi Hill, who shares the eerie story of the ghost that’s made itself at home in her house, from unexplained voices to doors flying open and even a spirit that might have followed her family heirlooms.

The conversation moves from ghost stories to personal experiences with the afterlife. Lauren recounts a visit to a shaman that revealed uncanny details about her late mother-in-law, while Lacey opens up about the dreams and visits she’s had from loved ones who’ve passed.

This special episode blends the supernatural with lots of reflections, laughter, and a reminder that sometimes the veil between worlds feels closer than we think.

This week on The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey keep Spooky October going with real-life legal cases that cross into the paranormal. From a man who claimed he murdered his landlord while possessed, to a mother who solved her daughter’s death after being “visited” in her dreams, they explore how the justice system handles claims that seem straight out of a horror movie.

Lacey also shares a chilling office story involving a toy that turns itself on, and a theory about a friendly spirit that might be visiting. The conversation dives into how far lawyers can go with supernatural defenses, what counts as expert testimony, and why some cold cases are reopened while others stay buried.

Tune in for the mix of eerie stories, legal insight, and laughter you expect from The Lawmas Podcast.

This week on The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey wrap up their two-part discussion into Ed Gein, separating fact from fiction and unpacking what the Netflix series got wrong. From misrepresented murders to exaggerated rumors, they walk through the real story behind one of true crime’s most infamous figures.

The conversation also explores how mental competency is determined in criminal cases, what “not guilty by reason of insanity” really means, and why those rulings matter today. Along the way, Lacey shares a personal story about falling down the stairs that turns into a real-world lesson on teaching kids how to call for help in an emergency.

This episode connects horror, law, and humanity, proving that even the darkest cases raise questions about mental health, justice, and compassion.

In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey continue their spooky-season series with a look at one of true crime’s most infamous, and misunderstood, figures: Ed Gein. Known as the inspiration for Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the hosts explore whether he truly fits the definition of a serial killer.

Before diving in, Lacey shares a story from a Down Syndrome fundraiser that sparks an honest talk about parenting, advocacy, and knowing when to speak up.

Then the conversation turns to Gein’s isolated upbringing, his troubled relationship with his mother, and how his crimes changed horror movies and pop culture forever.

This is Part 1 of a two-part deep dive into Ed Gein, the Netflix series, and the legal side of mental competency.

This week on The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey kick off Spooky October by asking a surprising question: if your house is haunted, do you legally have to tell buyers? Inspired by the infamous Amityville Horror case, they explore how a true crime turned ghost story ended up shaping real estate law.

Along the way, they tackle Halloween trespassing rules, self-defense and costumes (can you really carry that fake knife as Michael Myers?), and how far “defending your property” can go before the law steps in. The conversation mixes legal analysis with personal stories, from family costumes to unexplained encounters that bring both laughs and chills.

If you’ve ever wondered where the courtroom meets the supernatural, this episode has the answers.
