Gurvey's Law is a weekly talk radio program that airs on KABC Radio in Los Angeles, offering in-depth interviews with American legal scholars, attorneys, writers, entertainers, athletes, and newsmakers. Its host is attorney Alan Gurvey, and the show is co-hosted by radio and television personality Kerri Kasem.

Gurvey's Law is broadcast live, on Saturday afternoons from 2-3pm. Gurvey's Law can also be heard anywhere in the world, by streaming through the KABC website.

History
Gurvey's Law first aired in 2013 based on the premise of turning Murphy's Law upside down; anything that can go wrong, can also go right. In 2015, the show's focus shifted to concentrate more on legal topics and issues that are relevant to current events, news stories and legal issues. Though still orbiting the show's tagline, "where law intersects life", the topics are often more complex.

Format
Gurvey's Law follows an interview model akin to Inside the Actors Studio, in which an emphasis is placed on how one's work informs their life, and vice versa.
