CBS Radio News' weekday legal segment LOOKING AT THE LAW, which launched four decades ago, this week marks its 10,000th broadcast delivered to listeners around the country and on the Armed Forces Radio Network around the world.
The segments, which launched on April 1, 1976, feature attorney and Harvard Medical School professor Neil Chayet's unique insights into legal cases and judicial situations that impact listeners every day. LOOKING AT THE LAW can be heard in New York, Boston, Chicago and many more major city. Since the launch, Chayet has wrapped up his lively and informative reports with a twist or a pun, and the signature tag line, "This is Neil Chayet, Looking at the Law." "Neil thought he would run out of material by now, but with millions of lawsuits brought every year, along with an apparently endless supply of puns, the future is secure," said Harvey Nagler, CBS News Vice President, Radio. "Most listeners have gotten a chuckle - or a groan - from Neil's last lines and continually marvel at the strange and sometimes wacky cases that find their way into the courtroom."Videos
