On the August 7, 2026 edition of the Fridays With Larry podcast, Larry asks whether America has too many lawyers—or whether its attorneys are simply concentrated in the wrong places. He examines rising law school applications, the effect of artificial intelligence on the legal profession and the rural “legal deserts” where residents may struggle to find an attorney.

Larry also talks with Fishers High School graduate Emersen Kolb about her experience in the prestigious Trial by Combat mock-trial tournament. Now preparing to attend the University of Cincinnati College of Law, Kolb discusses courtroom storytelling, the programs that inspired her career path and her goal of becoming a public defender. The episode ends with the lighter story of an Arizona driver whose unusual excuse for traveling 112 mph did not keep him out of trouble.

Fridays With Larry is sponsored by Citizens State Bank.
