Yes he sits on livestreams all day long instead of making edited/scripted videos which get straight to the point.
IDK if he practices, because whenever I do oral arguments, I need to write out relatively tight scripts since the time limits are pretty strict. So everything I do is scripted.
Pretty much why I dropped him. Too much getting rolled up in drama for superchat money, more interested in stretching things out than just dispensing based law pills, and catering to that really weird unbreaded shit.

Yeah if you want based/accurate legal takes I do text posts on the topics sometimes.
Despite whatever his initial intentions, he embraced the role of grifter entirely. Now the only thing that distinguishes him from regular drama commentators is the ability to parse a legal document.
And that only lets him get a slight headstart on the competition who get someone else to do it for them, and he usually wastes that on the slowest streams known to man.
No offense to small town lawyers, because I think they're very important, but Nick lives in a small town in Minnesota with a population of less than 2,000. The whole county has a population of like 40k.
I always assumed he was basically a traffic ticket, misdemeanor, minor-legal-needs solo practictioner. And I doubt he's practiced in years. Why would he when he has an easier and better paying job?
He went to William Mitchell (today Mitchell Hamline). Again, no offense to practical schools because they're necessary and important, but it's a tier 4 school (admittedly does have one SCOTUS justice alumnus) that is not in the business of training Big Law and major stakes practitioners.
I doubt I've seen more than a cumulative 10 minutes of Nick, but I would take his legal opinions with a heavy grain of salt.
Most of his legal analysis comes in the form of his live play-by-play commentary on ongoing trials. And for that, you really don't need anything much more than an understanding of the rules of evidence and procedure for the relevant jurisdiction. So in that regard, his background is more than adequate and his legal analysis is fine.
He rarely covers other stuff, like major SCOTUS decisions, and for those I would agree with you on taking his analysis on those with a grain of salt.

He does YouTube because he hates being a lawyer.

It's a pretty shitty job in a lot of ways.
