About this episode

The episode explains the legal term collateral estoppel and its significance in a legal context.

Lawyers, like other professionals, tend to use a lot of industry terms which don't make sense to the average person. Sometimes, those terms pop up in artcles and media describing a case, without explanation (often because the journalists themselves do not fully understand what they mean). Today, we discuss the term collateral estoppel, and what it means in a legal context. Enjoy.
