A proposito di questo titolo

On the Docket with Napoli Shkolnik is a conversation space for the people shaping justice, and those demanding it. Each episode brings together attorneys, advocates, experts, and community voices to explore the stories behind the cases that define our time. From environmental contamination and medical negligence to consumer rights and corporate accountability, these are the moments where law meets life.

What happens when institutions fail the people they’re meant to protect? How does one case spark nationwide change? And what does justice actually look like for the individuals at the heart of every lawsuit?

Through raw, unfiltered dialogue, On the Docket dives deep into these questions - revealing the human side of complex legal battles, the lessons learned in the courtroom, and the power of standing up when it matters most.

This isn’t a show about legal jargon. It’s about the pursuit of accountability, the impact of advocacy, and the stories that remind us why the law exists in the first place.

  • Mentorship and Responsibility: The Purpose of Personal Injury Law | Marie Napoli & Bruce Plaxen
    Jan 29 2026

    In this episode of On The Docket, host Marie Napoli sits down with Bruce Plaxen, President of the American Association for Justice, for a thoughtful conversation on mentorship, leadership, and responsibility within personal injury law.

    The discussion explores what draws attorneys into personal injury work, when the practice becomes purpose-driven, and how mentorship shapes both individual careers and profession. Marie and Bruce reflect on the role mentors play in developing young lawyers, as well as the common criticisms of personal injury law, distinguishing between fair critique and misconception, and reinforcing the idea that this area of law is ultimately about safety, accountability, and, most importantly, helping people.

  • Justice on the Rails: The Fight for Railroad Workers | Hunter Shkolnik & Chris Schnieders
    Dec 19 2025

    Railroad companies move America, but when they cut corners, workers pay the price. In this episode, we sit down with Hunter Shkolnik and Chris Schnieders to break down what really happens when rail workers are injured and forced to take on powerful corporations. We unpack the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), why it’s not workers’ comp, and why proving negligence can make or break a case.

    We also dive into a major moment of accountability: Napoli Shkolnik’s $21.8 million settlement for a Norfolk Southern worker. What did it mean for one family—and why do results like this matter far beyond a single case? From derailments to toxic exposure, we zoom out to show how rail safety isn’t just a workplace issue, but a community and environmental one affecting everyone living near the tracks.

  • Hidden Dangers: Everyday Products That Put Us at Risk | Chris LoPalo & Joelys Hernández
    Nov 26 2025

    Every day, people rely on products they believe are safe: powders, medications, weed killers, hair relaxers, even medical devices. But for thousands of families, these household items have led to devastating injuries and diagnoses. In this episode, Chris LoPalo and Joelys Hernandez dig into the truth behind some of the country’s biggest product liability cases and why so many dangers slip through the cracks.

    They explore the stories behind talcum powder and ovarian cancer, the litigation surrounding Roundup, the concerns raised about Zantac, chemical exposure in hair relaxers, and the failures that allowed faulty medical implants into the market. Chris and Joelys discuss why oversight isn’t always enough, how corporate influence can shape what consumers do or don’t know, and why people often assume everyday items are safer than they really are. The conversation also highlights how lawsuits uncover internal documents, hidden memos, and long-buried research — the pieces of truth that finally bring accountability. For many families, litigation becomes the only path to answers, change, and justice.
