BOURBON OF PROOF

Youtube Apple Spotify

Where the legal world’s best and brightest shoot the breeze about law and life over copious amounts of bourbon, whiskey, and scotch. Raise your legal spirits while we raise our liquid ones. Involuntary giggling and outrageous stories? Proud repeat offenders.

This time on Bourbon of Proof, the guys sit down with Nasser Abujbarah—a legal operations mastermind who manages a firm bringing in nearly 1,500 cases a month. Bob, Mauro and Nasser talk about how AI is running through the veins of his practice and why all that technology may actually be making law firms more human.

Bourbon of Proof hosted by Bob Simon & Mauro Fiore September 16, 2026 2:00 pm

This time on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro bring you the best of BOP’s bourbon-soaked trip to Louisville, featuring a rotating cast of trial lawyers with big cases, bigger verdicts, and some very strong opinions about AI. The crew talks about everything from using AI in the courtroom to why mediocre lawyers may soon be an endangered species. Things take a turn when they conduct a completely unprepared cross-examination of a guest whose name surfaced in the Epstein files—and who just happens to be sitting at the table. Buckle up for more Kentucky-based, bourbon-sipping fun! _______ If you'd like to reach out or submit a case for free review by Bob and Mauro or you're interested in partnering with the show, call 1-844-THE-TEAM Join our Community - https://bourbonofproofshow.komi.io Search the App Store for the JUSTICE TEAM App by The Simon Law Group!!

This time on Bourbon of Proof, the guys are live from Louisville with trial lawyer, former AAJ President, and fellow bourbon fanatic Tad Thomas. Bob, Mauro and Tad dive into how AI is revolutionizing trial prep and exposing hidden evidence, but why technology will never replace a lawyer standing in front of a jury.

This time on Bourbon of Proof, the guys are live from Louisville, Kentucky, with fellow trial lawyer and bourbon collector Sam Aguiar. Bob, Mauro and Sam debate whether AI is about to wipe out the average PI firm, why great customer service may be the last line of defense, and how technology can make lawyers faster without making them less human. Special guest host and bourbon aficionado Kristopher Hart also joins the fun as they break into some unicorn bottles and try to ensure Sam stays conscious until the end of the episode. Cheers to more BOP madness!
