Chicago, IL (February 17, 2026) – The National Law Review today announced the launch of Legal Regards, a new podcast exploring how law, technology, public policy, and institutional leadership are shaping the modern legal landscape. The podcast features in-depth conversations with attorneys general, judges, policymakers, and other legal leaders addressing the most pressing legal and regulatory issues of the day.
The first two episodes are now live and feature interviews with Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway. These conversations examine the expanding role of state attorneys general, the growing impact of AI on legal practice and enforcement, and the challenges public institutions face in an era of rapid technological and political change.
Listeners can access Legal Regards on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
In the inaugural episode, Connecticut AG Tong discusses how states are increasingly stepping into regulatory gaps, deploying consumer protection authorities in response to emerging technologies, and navigating complex constitutional questions involving federal power, transparency, and public trust.
The second episode features Missouri AG Hanaway, who discusses enforcement priorities, including violent crime reduction, consumer protection risks tied to fraudulent schemes, and how government lawyers are responsibly integrating AI tools into legal work while maintaining safeguards, verification, and professional accountability.
Legal Regards is designed for lawyers, policymakers, executives, academics, and professionals seeking substantive insight into how legal institutions are adapting to technological disruption, evolving enforcement demands, and shifting governance frameworks.
The podcast is an official production of The National Law Review and is hosted by Oliver Roberts, Editor-in-Chief of AI and the Law at The National Law Review, adjunct professor of law, and practicing attorney focused on AI and legal innovation.
Gary Chodes, CEO of The National Law Review, welcomes this new chapter in the company’s partnership with Roberts: “Our audience looks to us for insights from thought leaders at the intersection of AI and the law. Oliver’s Legal Regards podcast series embodies this vision, and we’re proud to bring his innovative perspective to our growing podcast community.”
New episodes of Legal Regards are available on major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
