Kane County State's Attorney Podcast

About Samuel Partida, Jr.

Audio Law Learner!

My name is Samuel Partida, Jr.

I’m a criminal law attorney, but I think you can tell I don’t take myself too seriously. What I am serious about is the criminal law.

More specifically,

I am laser focused on the Illinois state criminal law. I produce a podcast and continuing legal education (CLE) programs for my instate colleagues.

If you are in law enforcement, criminal justice or just want to know more about the criminal law you’ll find the resources on this site to be quite helpful.

Here’s a secret about criminal lawyers: We hate to read. We have to read page after page of reports and watch boring body cam and surviellance videos all day. Any additional reading or video watching really sucks.

So all my programs are audio programs!

There is no reading and no video watching required. In fact, I deliver all my content through a podcast. I have a 100% totally free podcast you can subscribe to right now to get started.
