In Episode 4 of Trial and Error with Donte Mills, we tackle one of the most important and evolving legal battles in the country — the fight over social media liability.

When harm happens online, who is actually responsible?

Is it the platform that created the environment… or the user who posted the content?

This episode breaks down the real legal framework behind lawsuits targeting social media companies, including the power — and limits — of Section 230, the strategies plaintiffs are using to get around it, and how courts are starting to rethink accountability in the digital age.

We go beyond headlines and into courtroom strategy:

• How plaintiffs are framing claims against Big Tech
• Where these cases are gaining traction — and where they’re failing
• What defenses platforms rely on to avoid liability
• And what this means for future litigation, regulation, and your rights online

If you’re a lawyer, law student, content creator, or just someone trying to understand where the law is heading, this episode gives you the blueprint.

Because this isn’t just about social media — it’s about who pays when influence turns into harm.

Episode 2: The Art of Jury Selection – Winning Before the Trial Starts

In this episode of Trial and Error, Donte Mills breaks down one of the most critical — and often misunderstood — parts of any trial: jury selection.

Before a single witness is called or evidence is introduced, the outcome of your case can already be taking shape. The jury you pick can make or break everything.

• How attorneys strategically select jurors
• The psychology behind who stays and who gets struck
• What questions actually matter during voir dire
• Common mistakes lawyers make that cost them cases
• Real-world insights from high-stakes trials

Whether you’re a lawyer, law student, or just someone interested in how verdicts are really decided, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the chess match happening before trial even begins.

Because in trial law… you don’t just argue the case — you pick the audience.
