Class Action with Katie Phang is an immersive 12-part documentary podcast series about the next generation of lawyers, heard through the voices of law students competing in mock trial tournaments around the country. Producers spent a year following three law school teams and an undergraduate pre-law program. The series follows a natural narrative arc of the season. Just like in athletics, there are intensive boot camps, scrimmages, and high-stakes tournaments against other schools. The cases range from mob murders and arson to civil rights law. And the action is fierce. Class Action is a production of Sound Argument and iHeartMedia.
