This November's race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is expected to go down to the wire. But ahead of, on, and after Election Day, both campaigns and parties at the local, national, and state level will be ready to fight not just at the ballot box, but in the courtroom. From when mail-in ballots can be counted to the final Electoral College tally, state and federal election laws will play a major role in the outcome of this election. What can we expect heading into this contest, and how can legal academics and law students play a role? In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky talks with two election law experts: Richard Hasen, the Gary T. Schwartz Endowed Chair in Law at the UCLA School of Law, and Berkeley Law Professor Emily Rong Zhang. Hasen is the director of UCLA's Safeguarding Democracy Project and an internationally recognized expert in election law. He's the co-author of leading casebooks in election law and remedies, the co-founder of the peer-reviewed Election Law Journal, and was an election law analyst for CNN in 2020 and for NBC News and MSNBC in 2022.Zhang studies how the law can promote political participation and representation, especially of individuals from historically disadvantaged communities. Before she joined the Berkeley Law faculty in 2022, she was a Skadden Fellow at the ACLU Voting Rights Project.Read more about the recent developments in the Pennsylvania case they discuss in this episode.

Constitutional Law has changed dramatically in the past few years, and therefore so has the course for law students. In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky — a leading scholar in the field who has been teaching the class for decades and is the author of a popular casebook — talks about the U.S. Supreme Court's most recent term. It's the latest in a series of monumental years for the Court, and Chemerinsky analyzes these sweeping changes with Michael Dorf, the Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, and CNN Chief Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic.Professor Dorf has authored or co-authored well over one hundred scholarly articles and essays for law reviews, books, and peer-reviewed science and social science journals. He is a co-editor of a Constitutional Law casebook, writes a bi-weekly column for Justia's web magazine, Verdict, and posts several times per week on his own blog, Dorf on Law.Biskupic has covered the Supreme Court for more than 25 years and has written several books on the judiciary, including Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and its Historic Consequences and The Chief, a biography of Chief Justice John Roberts.

Berkeley Law Dean, author of No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States asks the provocative question - is it time to consider drafting a new constitution? Is it absurd to think that a document drafted in the 18th Century can still protect democracy and individual rights in the 21st Century? Join the SideBar discussion about the challenges under the constitution to protect free speech, a democratic electoral system, diversity in higher education, and the status of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Michael talks to Erwin Chemerinsky, Deal of the School of Law at UC Berkeley, just minutes after a 6-3 decision in the Trump v. United States case is handed down by the Supreme Court on the court's last day of the current term. Original air date 1 July 2027.

Erwin Chemerinsky – a noted scholar, author on academic freedom, and law school dean – comes on the podcast to discuss campus free speech and academic freedom. We begin with student speech controversies (including the one that was literally in Erwin's back yard), and then we move on to faculty academic freedom, in scholarship, public commentary, and teaching.

David and Christina talk to one of the country's leading lights in the area of American constitutional law and dean of Berkeley Law, about the various interpretations of the First Amendment's two religion clauses; freedom of speech in the age of artificial intelligence and political deep-fakes; staying positive and vigilant even as an overreaching Supreme Court undermines the constitution it is sworn to uphold; judicial term limits and expansion of the Court; the electoral college, even where Chemerinsky and Antonin Scalia find common ground.Thanks for listening!

In this episode, veteran court analyst Joan Biskupic returns to break down the term with Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. Biskupic has covered the court for decades and is now CNN Senior Supreme Court Analyst.

Since 1983, U.S. News and World Report has published rankings of the nation's law schools. For almost as long, there have been complaints about the way the rankings are done and what value they offer to prospective students. Last fall, Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken announced that Yale — which consistently earned the top spot in the rankings — would no longer participate in the process because it is “undermining the core commitments of the legal profession.” Berkeley Law quickly followed, as did more than 60 law schools. If U.S. News' rankings are weakened, what, if anything, should replace them? And what are the right metrics for measuring a law school's quality, for both prospective students and potential future employers? In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky talks to a blockbuster panel to discuss about how we got here, what the revolt means, and what the future may hold: Dean Gerken, now in her second term leading Yale Law School; Colorado College President L. Song Richardson, who pulled her school out of the college rankings; and Colin Diver, a former dean at Penn Law and president of Reed College who's been a longtime critic of the U.S. News rankings and the author of the 2022 book Breaking Ranks: How the Rankings Industry Rules Higher Education, and What to Do about It.

For recent law school graduates, clerking for a federal judge can be a key career stepping stone, and the hiring process is both highly opaque and famously nerve-wracking. Even as law school cohorts have become more diverse, the clerkship ranks have remained heavily skewed toward white men, particularly from a handful of top-ranked law schools. Leaders from Berkeley Law's Berkeley Judicial Institute wanted to know why. So they asked 50 federal judges how and why they hire particular clerks in the first qualitative study of the issue. These conversations yielded a number of insights for law students, law schools, and other judges, from how much an aspiring clerk's cover letter matters to the fact that “diversity” doesn't mean the same thing to every judge. The pathbreaking study will be published in the Harvard Law Review later this year. In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky talks to the study's three authors: Former U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of California Jeremy Fogel, who's now the executive director of BJI; California Supreme Court Associate Justice Goodwin Liu; and Mary Hoopes, an associate professor of law at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and co-director of the William Matthew Byrne Jr. Judicial Clerkship Institute.

We thought Season 4 was over, but then ... Breaking news! The 2024 US News Rankings are out. And we've got instant analysis, hot off the presses. (0:00:00) Intro. Spencer and Justin wonder: Does this  count as actual journalism? Is this the episode that gets them a Pulitzer? (0:03:09) Dean Erwin Chemerinsky joins to talk about whether the new US News methodology is an actual improvement, why the rankings were delayed, what we can expect going forward, and how his first appearance on this podcast affected his career. (0:15:32) Top Ten Stories from the new rankings. What school jumped up the most? What factors explain the new results? What happened to the schools we said were underrated a year ago?  Who will be #1 in 2028?   (0:37:39) Here's an Idea. Spencer puts that Pulitzer at risk with one final suggestion.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas built a legacy of strong progressive and libertarian views. Nominated by President Franklin Roosevelt, he was confirmed in 1939 at age 40 and served until 1975 — the longest tenure of any associate justice. Law students get to know Douglas well because he turns up in many of the most famous cases of the 20th century. He wrote for the majority in blockbuster cases such as Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right to birth control, and Brady v. Maryland, which established that the prosecution must turn evidence that might exonerate a defendant over to the defense team. He also penned withering dissents, particularly in a string of First Amendment cases, including United States v. O'Brien, Terry v. Ohio, and Brandenburg v. Ohio.During his storied tenure, Douglas was also a fierce advocate for the environment. In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Chemerinsky talks with Judge M. Margaret McKeown, who's just published a fascinating book, Citizen Justice: The Environmental Legacy of William O. Douglas — Public Advocate and Conservation Champion. She explores Douglas' activism and the ethical questions it raised that still haven't been fully resolved. Judge McKeown was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the Senate in 1998. She recently took senior status. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an affiliated scholar at the Center for the American West at Stanford University, and jurist-in-residence at the University of San Diego School of Law.

In 2021, only 11.6% of the workforce in the United States was unionized — down a half a percentage point from 2020. But after decades of decline, there are also hopeful signs for unions and the rights of workers. The rise of the gig economy, years of flat wages, and the economic turbulence unleashed by the Covid-19 pandemic have given rise to a new movement, from Amazon warehouses to graduate schools, with a particular focus on how to protect workers' rights. In this moment, what can law schools do to advocate for workers, from scholarship and policy papers to clinics and classes? Three experts talk about the past, present, and future of this movement with Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky: Sameer Ashar, a clinical professor of law and associate dean for equity initiatives at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law, and director of the school's Workers, Law, and Organizing Clinic; Sharon Block, a professor of practice and the executive director of the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School; and Catherine Fisk, Barbara Nachtrieb Armstrong Professor of Law at Berkeley Law and faculty director of the school's Center for Law and Work.About: More Just from Berkeley Law is a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems.

On the night of May 2, Politico published a draft Supreme Court majority opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, that would overrule the seminal abortion rights cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. While the draft opinion was from February — and the Court has yet to release a binding decision — the news sent seismic shocks through the nation. Since Justices Brent Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were confirmed, activists on both sides of the abortion debate have expected the Court to roll back at least some of the reproductive rights enshrined in Roe, which was handed down in 1973, and Casey, decided in 1992. But many were still taken aback at the sweeping nature of Alito's draft, especially in light of recently-passed laws in several states that would ban abortion entirely if Roe is overturned. University of California, Irvine, School of Law Chancellor's Professor Michele Goodwin joins Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky to talk about how we got to this moment and what a post-Roe legal and political landscape might look like. Goodwin, director of UCI Law's Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy, has written extensively about reproductive rights and the implications for women of the abortion debate, including in the book Policing the Womb: Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhood, and in several articles with Chemerinsky.

Since the First Amendment was written, there has been vigorous discussion, and often vehement disagreement, about exactly what “free speech” does, and should, mean. Increasingly, campuses are where the debate over free speech boils over. Universities — and law schools — aspire to be laboratories for knowledge, a place where ideas and debate about those ideas flow freely. And yet, free speech can also cause great harm. What should free speech look like on campus? Should universities impose limits, and should they punish students who violate those restrictions? In this episode, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and Chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, talk about how universities and law schools can navigate these situations without compromising the larger principle of free speech.

U.C. Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is one of the country's most respected constitutional scholars. In his new book Presumed Guilty, he says that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the perpetuation of racist policing by presuming that suspects, especially people of color, are guilty before being charged. Dean Chemerinsky argues that the fact that police are nine times more likely to kill Black men than other Americans is no accident but rather the result of an elaborate body of doctrines. He says the pro-defendant Warren Court was a only brief historical aberration and that this more liberal era ended with Nixon's presidency and the ascendance of conservative justices, whose rulings have permitted stops and frisks, limited suits to reform police departments, and even abetted the use of chokeholds. Come hear Dean Chemerinsky's thoughts on necessary steps to create a more robust court system that will enhance civil rights.

Dean Chemerinsky argues that the fact that police are nine times more likely to kill Black men than other Americans is no accident but rather the result of an elaborate body of doctrines. He says the pro-defendant Warren Court was a only brief historical aberration and that this more liberal era ended with Nixon's presidency and the ascendance of conservative justices, whose rulings have permitted stops and frisks, limited suits to reform police departments, and even abetted the use of chokeholds. Come hear Dean Chemerinsky's thoughts on necessary steps to create a more robust court system that will enhance civil rights.

Following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sept. 18, 2020, Berkeley Law professors — Amanda Tyler, Catherine Fisk, Orin Kerr, Bertrall Ross and Dean Erwin Chemerinsky — came together to discuss Ginsburg's legacy, what will be the likely effects of her no longer being in the Supreme Court and what is likely to happen in the nomination and confirmation process of a new justice."Her legacy as an advocate completely changed the face of American society," said Tyler, who clerked for Ginsburg in 1999. "As an advocate, she opened the eyes of the Supreme Court to the lived experiences of both men and women who are held back by gender stereotypes. Because of that, she was able to convince them, to educate them, to teach them as to how gender stereotypes do that, not just to women but to men as well, and how putting women on a pedestal, as Justice Brennan said, and Justice Ginsburg loved this quote, is actually putting them in a cage. It's holding them back."Read a transcript and listen on Berkeley News.Photo credit: Supreme Court of the United States via Flickr See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The coronavirus is leading many conversations this week, and we'll talk about how it has impacted religious communities during this unprecedented time. But first, Amanda Tyler and Holly Holllman take a look at several Supreme Court cases this term that deal with protections for workers from employment discrimination that could have implications for religious organizations. They break down the term “because of sex” in Title VII (starting at 4:30) and discuss the ministerial exception (18:20), an important part of the law that protects religious organizations. On the final segment, Amanda and Holly share how the coronavirus is impacting – and showcasing – religion in the lives of Americans and how we can lean into a theology of abundance during this time (34:40). Show notes: Segment 1: Title VII cases and the phrase “because of sex” (starting at 00:40) Read the Supreme Court press release announcing the postponement of oral arguments because of COVID-19 at this link.

The coronavirus and religious communities (starting at 34:40) Holly mentioned articles that did a great job showing religious communities responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, including this piece on communion and rituals by Sarah Pulliam Bailey for The Washington Post. Holly also mentioned the op-ed titled “In Italy, we live in silence, die in silence — and wait.” It was written by Monica Maggioni and published by The Washington Post. Holly talked about a piece from George Mason and Mark Wingfield at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, who put their experiences during the Ebola crisis into context. It's titled “How to lead calmly in a global outbreak,” published by Faith & Leadership at Duke Divinity School.

The impeachment process moves to the Judiciary Committee, beginning with a panel of scholars addressing constitutional standards for impeachment and applying those standards to the set of facts that the testimony in the Intelligence Committee established beyond reasonable doubt.  We engage the historic moment with a two-part episode featuring a remarkably high-powered group of commentators exploring the political and the constitutional considerations of the prospective impeachment.  First, David Frum, Jill Wine-Banks, Liz Holtzman, and Harry analyze and appraise the Democrats’ strategy, including serious consideration of whether opening with a panel of scholars is a blunder.  Next, we reissue portions of a previous episode in which Professor Larry Tribe, Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, Congress (and Judiciary Committee) member Jamie Raskin, and Harry undertake a deep dive into the meaning of the pivotal constitutional term “High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” 

An important case of the current U.S. Supreme Court term is about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA — a program that some 700,000 undocumented people depend on for the right to work and protection from deportation — and whether or not it was properly ended by the Trump administration in 2017. The program has been kept in place since then by federal court injunctions. The Supreme Court heard argument in these cases on Nov. 12. Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and attorney Ethan Dettmer of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher's in San Francisco are key members of the litigation team that won one of the court injunctions, and are currently defending the program in the Supreme Court. In this Nov. 18 talk, they discuss what it's like litigating a case like this and the Supreme Court arguments that happened last week.Related Berkeley News content:How one DACA student found his community — and voice — at BerkeleyFor DACA academic counselor, it’s about helping all undocumented studentsListen and read a transcript on Berkeley News.

An unbelievably high-powered panel-- Professor Laurence Tribe, Dean Erwin Chemerinksy, and Congressman and Judiciary Committee member Jamie Raskin--take up an incredibly important topic,  "High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The three set aside some common misconceptions and agree on important aspects of the constitutional term. They then turn to plow new ground, each opining on what potential offense by the President is the most serious and predicting how the Congress may view differently the Venn diagram of potential impeachable offenses.  Finally, they offer their thoughts on whether we are at a moment of constitutional failure, and whether the constitutional scheme is likely to prove equal to the stresses that the President has imposed on it.
