On December 9th, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the banning of two chemicals found in products used primarily in the automobile, dry-cleaning, and manufacturing industries, but also found in some household products like cleaning wipes, paint removers, glues, and wig adhesives. The two solvents, Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE, and Perchloroethylene, also known as PCE or Perc, have been linked to cancer and other severe health issues. With the banning of TCE & PCE, the future of the EPA will be under Trump rule come January 20th, 2025. So what will be the impact of the TCE & PCE ban? And will there be a major overhaul of the EPA and an undoing of Biden's regulations under Trump? In this episode, Craig is joined by Professor Wendy Wagner from The University of Texas at Austin School of Law. Craig & Wendy discuss the recent banning of TCE & PCE by the EPA, and the future of the EPA under a second Trump presidency.

Good lawyers aren't afraid to pause when they don't understand something. They read and reread until they figure it out. This week, Ben and Nathan discuss why this lawyerly trait is crucial to mastering the LSAT. Later, the guys reject a purported downside to retaking the LSAT. They speculate about AI's impact on the legal profession. And they consider the value of paying for the prestige of a top law school.  Study with our Free Plan Download our iOS app Watch Episode 485 on YouTube 1:46 - Every Word Matters - LSAT beginners and veterans alike make most of their mistakes because of sloppy reading. Ben and Nathan urge listeners to read like lawyers: every word matters. 23:32 - Pearls vs. Turds - Will law school admissions officers brand you as a “perfectionist” if you retake the LSAT? Would that label hurt your admissions chances? 34:41 - AI and Law - Listener Charlie worries about AI's impact on the legal profession. Nathan and Ben argue that AI will empower attorneys, not replace them. 44:47 - Pay for Prestige? - Listener Trip wants to practice family law in a small city. The guys advise Trip to attend a regional law school on a full-ride scholarship rather than pay for the prestige of a higher-ranked school. 50:55 - LSAT and ADHD - Listener Victoria feels overwhelmed by the length of the passages in Reading Comprehension. Ben and Nathan encourage Victoria to focus on one sentence at a time. 57:26 - Tutoring - The guys discuss when students should pursue one-on-one LSAT tutoring and how to make the most of it. 1:03:21 - Low GPA - Soft factors don't make up for—or excuse—a low GPA. Nathan and Ben urge listener Elis to prioritize grades over extracurriculars. 1:07:67 - Word of the Week - The University of Texas at Austin School of Law prefers “Texas Law” to the more pithy sobriquet “UT.”

In this episode, I talk about a new book that models the ten habits that any peacemaker should adopt. The author is Steven T. Collis and the book is Ten Habits of a Peacemaker. For those wondering how this book compares to the work of Ken Sande's The Peacemaker, the two are excellent companions. While Ken's is more theological (LISTEN), Steven's project looks at the process and psychological challenges of creating a space for constructive dialogue and common life. To that end, him and I spoke about the importance of habit formation, the challenges of navigating perception, the psychology underlying group-think, the various steps that an individual can take to develop the heart of a peacemaker, and much more. Steven researches and teaches on religion law, productive discourse, and other First Amendment topics at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. He is the founding faculty director of the Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center and its Law & Religion Clinic. Before joining Texas Law, he was a Research Fellow in the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School. Faculty bio. My first conversation with Steven can be found here.

In this bonus episode of The Higher Ed Pulse recorded live at HighEdWeb 2024, Mallory Willsea sits down with Melanie Lindahl, Senior UX/Web Designer, Developer, and Project Manager at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. Together, they dive into Melanie's career journey, the challenges of working in male-dominated spaces, and the importance of advocating for oneself in the workplace. They also reflect on the significance of creating inclusive environments, particularly within the higher education web community.Key TakeawaysMulti-faceted career paths: Embrace diverse roles that align with your strengths, whether in design, development, or leadership.Navigating male-dominated spaces: Acknowledge and address microaggressions, and understand the importance of standing up for oneself.Advocacy and empowerment: Women need to advocate for themselves in professional settings and find supportive communities, even when it feels intimidating.Importance of words and communication: The language used in the workplace, especially in male-dominated spaces, can reveal underlying biases and impact perceptions.Inclusive communities: Spaces like the Hi Ed Web community offer supportive environments for individuals navigating tech and web development in higher ed.How did Melanie Lindahl's multifaceted career develop?Melanie's career in web development, UX, and project management evolved naturally from her artistic background and meticulous personality. Her journey highlights the importance of balancing creativity and leadership skills. She speaks passionately about her love for organization, which drew her toward project management, and how coding matched her detail-oriented nature. As a result, her career encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including web design, development, and leadership roles.What challenges has she faced as a woman in tech?As the only woman on both her direct team and the broader IT team, Melanie has had to navigate a male-dominated space. While her team is supportive, she recognizes that working without female camaraderie brings its own challenges. Throughout her career, she's encountered microaggressions—subtle and often unintentional behaviors or remarks that undermine women's authority. For example, she has observed male colleagues using dismissive language to describe female leaders. These experiences highlight the systemic issues that persist in workplace cultures, especially around gender dynamics.What advice does Melanie have for women entering similar spaces?For young women starting their careers, Melanie emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy. Drawing from her own experiences, she encourages women to stand up for themselves, even when it feels uncomfortable or risky. She also recommends reading “The Feminist Fight Club,” a book that provides practical strategies for handling workplace challenges. While standing up to microaggressions can be intimidating, Melanie stresses that women must be their own advocates, as they are often their best and only champions in these situations.Are there support systems available for women in male-dominated fields?Melanie acknowledges the complexities of creating formal women's support groups, especially within institutions bound by Title IX regulations. While it is important to have spaces where women can share experiences, the obligation to report sensitive issues can make these spaces feel less safe. Nevertheless, Melanie expresses her desire to foster community among women in her department and is hopeful about finding ways to support female colleagues in the future.What makes the HEW community special?Melanie highlights the inclusivity and supportiveness of the HEW community, soon to be rebranded as the Digital Collegium. She describes it as a place where she feels heard, safe, and valued, encouraging others to join this space as they enter the higher education web development field. This sense of belonging contrasts with her experiences in male-dominated teams, emphasizing the importance of finding professional networks that champion inclusion and empathy.In closing, Melanie and Mallory reflect on the value of conferences like HEW for creating space to discuss critical topics such as gender dynamics in the workplace. Melanie's insights serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusive communities and the need for ongoing conversations around advocacy and empowerment. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

CLOs today must ask: Is our work building lasting, relevant skills right now? Are we delivering business impact? Is the work building or diminishing L&Ds effectiveness and credibility? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then perhaps it is time for a skills accelerator approach. This is the title of a CLO Lift report and in this episode, we unpack what it means and why it's critical to us, in L&D, but more importantly to our organisations and employees. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D professionals need to become true business partners instead of just trainers and focus on the development aspect of their role. When you focus on data you are effective, and the rest of the business understands that data. Leverage AI and simulations to deliver fast.  Understand the relevance of each skill. What is it about that skill or new technology that will enable the learner to do their job better? When your business does something new, be a part of the rollout so truly relevant learning is available from the start. BEST MOMENTS “Capability building can't just be through learning programs. It needs to be truly employee-centric.” “If we can spend less time churning content, we'll be able to spend more time developing people.” “The scope of an L&D leader can no longer be just what training program.” Heather Stefanski Heather Stefanski is a Partner and Chief Learning and Development Officer at McKinsey & Company, overseeing Learning & Development for 45,000+ global colleagues and leading the People Data and Analytics Teams.  During 28 years at McKinsey, she has held various roles in talent acquisition, professional development, and learning. She has an MBA and MA in Education from Stanford University, and a BS in Engineering and Operations Research from Princeton University. Bjorn Billhardt  Bjorn Billhardt is co-author of The 12-Week MBA and CEO of Abilitie which has trained 100,000 learners in 50 countries, including rising leaders at Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola and GE.

People have a lot of complaints about media in these polarized times. Take your pick: The mainstream press is biased, elitist, sensationalistic, hyper-partisan. If you're on the right, you may believe that it deliberately enables falsehood. Today's guest is very much NOT on the right, but he agrees. Tom Johnson is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Journalism and his book The Press and Democratic Backsliding makes the claim that media have failed democracy by losing control of the information landscape and allowing anti-democratic voices to thrive. In his view, the strength of the MAGA movement is not merely a cultural or political phenomenon. It's a failure of journalism. Those are fightin' words. Tom and I talk about the role of the press in spinelessly empowering authoritarianism, about the media's lopsided obsession with then-candidate Joe Biden's age, its bias towards conflict and negativity, and, finally, lest you entirely despair, what to do about it all. So there's hope.Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmProduced by Sound Sapiensoundsapien.comAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.com

Today we're continuing the conversation on modular construction w/ Rommel Sulit and Chris Krager. Buckle up for some quotable quotes and impactful ideas in this episode. A recurring theme from part 1 is present here. Could it be the case that because modular delivery must rethink basic assumptions, it may be the first area of the AEC to do what the rest of the AEC is not. At core, the role of architecture is to create the link between design intent and what is actually built. This is not easy, nor simple. It means managing multiple streams of expertise and action so that they are effectively coordinated and integrated into a finished livable space.Modular requires a high resolution understanding of why we build the way we do, what are its strengths and weaknesses, and, particularly, where are the key leverage points to unlock change. Because as they say in this episode, there's no way around the reality that when it comes to AEC practices, We have to Pivot at somewhere. Modular delivery is perhaps, at heart, a recognition of this truth.Rommel SulitFounding Principal and Chief Operations Officer at Forge Craft Architecture + Design. With 25 years of experience, Rommel founded Forge Craft with Scott Grinder to improve lives through the art and science of architecture and design. Rommel developed his architectural philosophy working on projects that span demographics, geographies and types at the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with Rem Koolhaas, Page Southerland Page, Rhode Partners and BOKA Powell. Before Forge Craft, Rommel's work in Europe and across the U.S. centered on ambitious, large scale urban developments. Rommel now oversees projects across Forge Craft's six Architecture + Design Craft Studios including Commercial, Affordable Housing, Interior Architecture, Residential Use, Modular Architecture and Emergent Technologies.Chris KragerChris Krager has a BA in Business Administration from Michigan State University, and he received his March First Professional from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. Krager formed KRDB (Krager & Associates, Design/Build), a develop/design/build company, in 2001 with the intention of creating financially accessible architecture, while focusing on sustainability in the urban environment (www.krdb.com). The firm's projects cover a broad range from single-family developments, small lot projects, mixed-use and multi-family developments, hotels, creative office, alternative senior living models, and more.KRDB's work has been recognized locally and nationally including winning the AIA Austin's prestigious “Firm Achievement Award” in its first year (2001).

There work has also been featured on shows such as “This New House”, “Small Space, Big Style”, “Dream Builders”, “Dwell TV” and “What You Get For Your Money”.KRDB's Sol Austin project, a 40 unit model for holistic sustainable design, was one of the first net-zero capable projects in the US, and was awarded an AIA Austin Merit award, the inaugural Austin Green, “Project of the Year” and was featured on the front page of the NY Times Homes section (www.solaustin.com).KRDB introduced ma modular in 2008, their line of affordable modern modular homes and are currently working on projects in Austin, Los Angeles, Dallas and New York(www.mamodular.com). What began as a single-family endeavor, has now grown toinclude projects ranging in scale from a 4 unit small lot development, to a 135 unit, 150k sf project on 6 acres.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.

It's the decision we've all been waiting for: on the very last day of the Supreme Court's 2023 term, the Court handed down its ruling in Trump v. United States, concerning the former president's potential immunity from prosecution over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Rather than resolving the issue clearly, a 6-3 conservative majority found that presidents enjoy some immunity from criminal prosecution in some circumstances—a ruling that will likely create significant problems for the case against Trump.Lawfare's Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes discussed what to make of the opinions and what comes next with Executive Editor Natalie Orpett, Senior Editors Roger Parloff and Quinta Jurecic, and Courts Correspondent Anna Bower, along with special guest Lee Kovarsky of the University of Texas at Austin School of Law.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Monday night stone! Steve requests a recall from Mike about the legendary Fuck-Around Brown from Mike's stint in jail many moons ago. Morning show seem to exist only to remind us of the stuff we remember from 20-30 years ago. Mike is clueless about some supposed presidential primaries that have taken place. Steve has the breakdown of the Supreme Court's latest ball washing of Donald Trump's zany transcontinental litigation shenanigans. It seems that technological advances like lane assist for drivers may be reducing the competency of the masses. Luke serves Mike because Mike brought up the same Ben Mendelsohn story from the 2012 film Killing Them Softly like he always does. We sneak in a Bud Light commercial break this week. Don't skip it! Undecided voters are real and the proof if in the endless advertising that defines the culture of the United States. Joe writes in because he knows his email makes the show that much better! Joe shares a video with us from some dude from The Austin School who breaks down the brutal realities of the Palestinian genocide. The video shares certain traits with the SNL clip featuring Bill Hader trying to raise funds for starving people in Africa. Obviously we then had to play the clips of Bill Hader doing Alan Alda impressions. Steve has a bone to pick about Mike's favoritism for Aaron Sorkin's work. He is not having it. We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with Sucked Out by Superdrag. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at isitsafepod@gmail.com or check out our Discord:https://discord.gg/wXPdgujdSj

On February 20, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Corner Post, Inc. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The case asks whether a plaintiff’s Administrative Procedure Act (APA) claim “first accrues” under 28 U.S.C. § 2401(a)—the six-year default federal statute of limitations—when an agency issues a rule or when the rule first causes a plaintiff to “suffer legal wrong” or “be adversely affected or aggrieved,” 5 U.S.C. § 702. Petitioner Corner Post is a North Dakota convenience store and truck stop that seeks to challenge a 2011 Federal Reserve rule governing certain fees for debit card transactions. Corner Post didn’t open its doors until 2018 but the lower courts in this case held that its challenge is time barred because the statute of limitations ran in 2017—before Corner Post accepted its first debit card payment.

No one maintains that the Court has always and forever been originalist in its orientation. By any definition of "originalism," there is a vast body of case law that does not conform to it.How do and should modern originalists - and here one might specifically include lower-court judges who consider themselves originalist - handle this case law? Do non-originalist precedents count for nothing, no matter the expectations built upon them? If they count, how much do they count? Given the interconnectedness of the Constitution's provisions and structure, does it make sense to be "originalist" in some respects and some contexts but not others? Does originalism itself provide means to answer, or even address, these questions or does one necessarily have to step outside originalism to establish its relationship to precedent?Featuring:Prof. Tara Leigh Grove, Vinson & Elkins Chair in Law, University of Texas at Austin School of LawProf. Randy Kozel, Fritz Duda Family Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame Law SchoolProf. Gary Lawson, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor, Boston University School of LawProf. John O.

Welcome to Descendant House, a home designed to accommodate multiple generations and foster harmonious coexistence within a single structure. The Descendant House encompasses three distinct family units, for grandparents, parents, and children. The design ensures that while each unit enjoys their individual space, they remain interconnected through shared cooking and gathering areas that serve as the heart of the home. At the core of this remarkable space is the kitchen, a space of utmost importance to this family, where they bond over a love for food, cooking, gardening, and beekeeping—which takes place in the outdoor garden.The design concept revolves around four primary materials: masonry, wood, glass, and stucco. Each material serves a specific purpose tailored to the unique identities within the household, and establishes a distinct relationship with the site. This intentional composition of volumes facilitates both the independence and interconnection of the family members. Descendant House embodies the values of privacy, shared experiences, and connection to nature, serving as a testament to the power of architecture in facilitating a harmonious and dynamic coexistence for the family who calls it home.The design work of Matt Fajkus Architecture is based on the belief that each project is unique and it should be driven by the client, the site, and the functional requirements, rather than a singular, preconceived aesthetic. The firm aims for clear and simple solutions to complex problems by blending expertise and experimentation. The practice brings collaborative energy to every project and is simultaneously an academic think tank directly connected to theoretical and technological research at the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, while also practicing with a deep focus on realizing exceptional buildings.

On this day in legal history, October 11, 1872, Chief Justice Harlan Stone was born – but he wasn't born the Chief Justice. He was appointed much later when he was an adult. Harlan Fiske Stone was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1925 to 1941 and then as the 12th Chief Justice of the United States from 1941 until his death in 1946. Born on October 11, 1872, in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, Stone was initially a law professor and later the dean at Columbia Law School. He was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge to the Supreme Court and was later elevated to Chief Justice by Franklin D. Roosevelt.One of Stone's significant contributions to American jurisprudence came in the case of International Shoe Co. v. Washington (1945). In this landmark decision, the mere name of which gives anyone who attended law school hives, Stone formulated the "minimum contacts" test, which has become a cornerstone in the area of personal jurisdiction in civil cases. The ruling clarified the circumstances under which an out-of-state corporation could be subject to the jurisdiction of local courts, thereby modernizing jurisdictional rules to fit a growing national economy.Stone is perhaps best known for his "Footnote Four" in the landmark case of United States v. Carolene Products Co. (1938), which laid the groundwork for the modern tiers of judicial scrutiny and the protection of minority rights. He also authored the majority opinion in the case of United States v. Darby Lumber Co. (1941), which upheld the Fair Labor Standards Act and confirmed Congress's power to regulate labor conditions.Another case that drew significant attention during Stone's tenure was Korematsu v. United States (1944). Although Stone did not write the majority opinion, he was part of the court that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. This decision has been widely criticized for its stance on civil liberties and is often cited as a low point in the Court's history. Stone's own views on the case have been the subject of much scholarly debate, given his generally liberal leanings on civil rights issues.Stone was known for his judicial integrity and liberal jurisprudence, often siding with Justices Louis Brandeis and Benjamin Cardozo on progressive interpretations of the Constitution. His tenure as Chief Justice was marked by a number of key decisions that expanded civil liberties and federal power, shaping American constitutional law for generations to come.The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from 12 Republican-led states challenging the Biden administration's estimates for the social cost of greenhouse gas emissions. The high court left in place a federal appeals court decision, stating that the states, led by Missouri, lacked the legal standing to sue as they hadn't suffered a concrete injury. The Biden administration's estimates are intended to guide federal agencies in assessing the climate impact of various projects and in formulating new regulations. These estimates could influence a wide range of sectors, including oil and gas, agriculture, and construction. The decision follows a previous Supreme Court action that blocked an attempt to reinstate former President Trump's less stringent cost-estimation policy.Supreme Court Rejects GOP-Led States on Biden Climate EstimatesThe U.S. Supreme Court has chosen not to review the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to reject Avail Vapor's application for marketing flavored e-cigarettes. Avail Vapor had argued that the FDA altered its application process for new tobacco products at the last minute, leading to a 99% rejection rate for e-cigarette applications. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit had previously sided with the FDA, stating that Avail failed to demonstrate that its products offered benefits to adults that outweighed the risks to young people. Avail contends that many adult smokers use e-cigarettes as a quitting aid. FDA Win on Flavored E-Cigarettes Won't Be Undone by JusticesIn an unusual legal move, Judge Jerry E. Smith of the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit added what he called the "opinion that should have been issued" to his dissent in a death penalty case. The majority decision had maintained a pause on a Texas man's scheduled execution, a decision Smith labeled as "grave error." Instead of elaborating on his dissent, Smith attached an opinion styled as a majority ruling, even including the names of the other two judges on the panel. Texas prosecutors later cited Smith's opinion in their request to the Supreme Court to proceed with the execution, which was subsequently granted.Legal experts have noted that this approach is atypical. Tad Bartlett, an attorney who has reviewed all of the Fifth Circuit's decisions over the past three years, said he had never seen a dissenting opinion formatted this way. He speculated that Smith's opinion might have initially been a draft that became a dissent when it was clear he didn't have the majority support. Given the expedited nature of death penalty cases, Smith may have retained the original formatting to save time.The majority ruling indicated that another judge on the panel, Judge James E. Graves Jr., would issue his own concurring opinion, which was later included in an amended majority opinion. Stacy Rogers Sharp, an adjunct professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, warned that Smith's unusual approach could blur the lines between what is or is not the law, potentially undermining the majority opinion.Fifth Circuit Judge Adds Alternate Majority Opinion to Dissent (2)Legal experts predict that the U.S. Supreme Court may narrow or even overturn the Chevron Doctrine, a precedent that has significantly shaped the modern administrative state. The doctrine, established in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, allows courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Bertrall Ross, a law professor, suggests that the Court is also likely to use the major questions and non-delegation doctrines to further limit agency power. A ruling that diminishes Chevron deference would require courts to interpret statutes more frequently and could create additional legislative work for Congress.Professor Allison Orr Larsen believes that the Court may limit Chevron deference to cases involving "genuine ambiguities" in statutory text. Ross adds that Congress might have to revisit statutes regularly if agencies can't resolve ambiguities. He also notes that the Court's recent decisions indicate a preference for major political issues to be handled by Congress rather than agencies. Meaghan VerGow, a legal partner, points out that another case, SEC v. Jarkesy, raises questions about the president's ability to remove administrative law judges, which could potentially create due process issues.Avid fans of Minimum Competence will remember we did a special Max Min episode on both Chevron Deference and the Major Questions Doctrine. Expect Narrowing of Chevron Doctrine, High Court Watchers SayThe fraud trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, related to the collapse of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange, is set to continue with further testimony from Caroline Ellison, a key witness and former co-head of Bankman-Fried's hedge fund, Alameda Research. Ellison has already testified that she was part of a multi-billion-dollar conspiracy led by Bankman-Fried to defraud FTX customers, investors, and lenders. She is among three former insiders who have pleaded guilty to fraud and are cooperating with prosecutors. Ellison revealed that the hedge fund used about $10 billion in FTX customer funds to repay debts and make investments.She also stated that Bankman-Fried, who is her former boss and occasional romantic partner, was indifferent to the risks associated with Alameda's lending and investment strategies. Prosecutors allege that Bankman-Fried misused billions in customer funds to support Alameda, purchase real estate, and donate over $100 million to U.S. political campaigns. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to the charges, arguing that while he made mistakes, he did not intend to steal funds.In his opening statement, defense lawyer Mark Cohen urged jurors to question the credibility of cooperating witnesses like Ellison, suggesting they might be reinterpreting past decisions to appear more nefarious. Gary Wang, FTX's former technology chief, also testified that Bankman-Fried falsely claimed FTX was stable as it faced a surge in withdrawal demands. The trial, which could last up to six weeks, is also expected to feature testimony from another cooperating witness, former FTX engineering chief Nishad Singh.Sam Bankman-Fried's trial to resume with more testimony from Caroline Ellison | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

He is a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts, constitutional law, national security law, and military justice. But, anyone can claim to be an expert. On paper. Steve is the real deal.

He has argued over a dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Texas Supreme Court, and various lower federal civilian and military courts.

Austin Waldo: Austin School of Furniture “I want to get more into woodworking, so as soon as I get to Austin, I'm going to look up a woodworking club and see what they're all about. And found a club that's no longer around and went to the club meeting, which was pretty terrible. As a furniture maker, I was bored. I want to meet more woodworkers and be much more social around it. So, I took some classes at the community college, met some great folks there, and we started brainstorming, what do we like to do? Well, we like good craft beer, and we like woodworking, so let's start a club that's about that.” -Austin Waldo Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Austin Waldo, the managing director of Austin School of Furniture. Austin started school when he went to a woodworking club, but he felt it could have been more thrilling and better. Because of it, he consequently made more friends and met more woodworkers. He enrolled in a few classes at the community college, where he met some wonderful people, and they got to work on concepts. The group decided to form a club after discovering a shared passion for woodworking, and the rest is history. In this episode, we'll learn how Austin was inspired to start a new school by a group of pals with a healthy carpentry passion and a background in marketing and technology. We'll discover the school's beginnings, successful reorientations to change, and future goals. Austin also talks about the Texas Woodworking Festival, which will be held in Austin on August 26th and 27th of this year, celebrating everything woodworking! Listen now and get the whole story!

Lawyers and judges play an important role in a democratic republic like the United States. In Democracy in America, Tocqueville praised the character of America’s lawyers as indispensable to protecting the U.S. Constitution, because their taste for formality would help preserve it against popular passions. Similarly, in Federalist 78 Alexander Hamilton defends judicial review by arguing that judges will be bound down by “strict rules and precedents.” Does the U.S. Constitution presuppose a legal profession of this sort? Have lawyers’ understanding of their job, and more broadly of their role in society, changed significantly? If lawyers’ interests have become different in the modern regulatory state than in the early republic, can the rule of law, and specifically judicial review, function in the long run as Tocqueville and Hamilton hoped?Featuring:Prof. Jamal Greene, Dwight Professor of Law, Columbia Law School Prof. Tara Grove, Vinson & Elkins Chair in Law, University of Texas at Austin School of LawMr. Ashley Keller, Partner, Keller Lenkner LLCProf. John McGinnis, George C.

As a condition of his vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, Sen. Joe Manchin demanded space for his own permitting-reform package in the latest spending bill. While his proposed legislation was ultimately pulled over objections to aspects tangential to permitting, interest in permitting reform remains strong. The target of many reformers' ire is the current interpretation of the National Environmental Policy Act: a 1970 statute designed to ensure that the government gives adequate consideration to environmental impacts before embarking on major actions. While this has had significant benefits for environmental quality, the review process is often long, costly, and subject to aggressive litigation that often stretches for years. Is it time to rewrite portions of NEPA? And, if so, what should those reforms look like?Featuring:David Adelman, Harry Reasoner Regents Chair in Law, The University of Texas at Austin School of LawJames W. Coleman, Robert G.

In recent years, several states have enacted voter suppression measures in the name of "election integrity," which disproportionately impact people with disabilities. Evan Monod speaks with Lia Sifuentes Davis, Clinical Professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, about how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is being used to challenge these restrictive state voting laws and what it means to make democracy accessible.
