I'm looking to drop Legal Eagle because i believe their accelerated release schedule prevents the kind of depth coverage I'm looking for. You guys follow any legal channels that dive into the history and context of the legal issues of the day?

Unfortunately, I don't know any 1 to 1 replacement, but here's a few other channels I follow.

Steve Lehto - radio show style commentary on various stories. Typically smaller unique stories you don't see on mainstream news.

Attorney Tom - The USCSB commentaries are fun. He's the other lawyer suing Honey with Legal Eagle. Recently has some very timely videos, such as honey, fires and yesterday released a video how suing the government works

Not a youtube channel, but there is a podcast called serious trouble that covers legal events and provides a sober, detailed analysis of the law that is relevant to the cases they cover. They mostly focus on legal cases surrounding politics, but are also following the Drake/Lamar defamation case. I like it because a lot of the coverage of Trump's legal troubles is characterized by hand wringing or wild speculation and serious trouble stays focused more on the facts and likely outcomes of cases.

I watched Lawyer You Know during his coverage of the Johnny Depp trial and now more recently his coverage of the Luigi Mangione stuff. I think he's pretty good at remaining unbiased and he goes into a good amount of depth. He interacts a good bit with his audience during live streams and answers their questions if he can. His dad (also an attorney) is with him sometimes, so it can be cool seeing these 2 lawyers bounce ideas off each other.

A few months ago I watched Andrea Burkhart's coverage of the Richard Allen / Delphi, IN murder case. She went there in person and reported what happened in the mostly closed-to-the-public courtroom, while giving legal analysis of what happened as well (she is a defense attorney). Her livestreams got extremely long/in-depth during that trial and she almost always answered all superchat questions. She even filed some motion to allow herself and other gallery people access to the trial evidence to report on that as well, since the judge only gave reporters access and not the general public. She's definitely more biased towards the defense but she gives really good insight of what goes on behind different decisions and what each side and the jury might be thinking.

Strict Scrutiny is highly praised. I've only heard them as guests on other shows though.
