Do you find it tough to talk about money with your partner? In this episode, we explore the challenges of financial conversations in relationships, focusing on the importance of mutual understanding, confidence, and emotional awareness. We discuss how emotional factors, like the mental load of managing finances, can impact these talks and share ways to help both partners feel involved and informed. Our guest, Adam Kol of The Couples Financial Coach, brings valuable insights on how to navigate these conversations. Tune in to discover how empowering both partners with financial knowledge can transform your relationship and finances. Meet Adam! Adam Kol is The Couples Financial Coach. He helps couples go from financial overwhelm or fighting to clarity, teamwork, and peace of mind. Adam is a Certified Financial Therapist-I™, Certified Mediator, and Tax Attorney with a Duke Law degree and a Master's in Tax Law from NYU. He is a husband, dad, and musician, as well. Adam's wisdom has been shared with The Wall Street Journal, the Baltimore Ravens, CNBC, NewsNation, and more. “Your partner wants to connect with you about finances. It may seem like they don't, and you might convince yourself that they don't. They do. They may not realize that they're avoiding it or why, but they do because it has such a profound effect on the lives that we live. I mean, it really touches every aspect, from how we raise our families to what we do for jobs, to the kind of food we eat, to the kind of things we have, etc. So your partner does want to feel like they can connect with you. It's just that people don't feel confident in that a lot of times, partly because it is true that money is still a taboo. But keep in mind that this is something where you both will feel a lot better if you're on the same page.” - Adam Kol Book Recommendation: * Financial Intimacy for Couples: How to Achieve Clarity, Teamwork, and Peace of Mind With Your Money, by Adam Kol.

Nearly every meme, YouTube video, and yes, even this very podcast, contains copyrighted work that may or may not be ... "officially" obtained. With millions of hours of audio and video uploaded to the Web every day, how can we possibly protect the intellectual property rights of creators? In short, we can't. BUT, laws and court cases dating back to the '90s have dramatically changed our perceptions of what intellectual property can be in an age where remix culture is the lifeblood of the Internet. This week on INFLUENCE, Duke University law professor Jennifer Jenkins joins Matt to unpack the differences between copyright, trademark, patents, fair use, and why Creative Commons and the public domain are so vital for online creativity. We also dig in on the ContentID algorithms that "police" copyright on large social platforms, and what the hell to do about generative AI that synthesizes new content from billions of copyrighted works.

Quincy Amerson, a client of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke Law, was released from prison on March 13 this year, after spending more than 20 years behind bars. He was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001 and had been sentenced to life without parole. After taking up Amerson's case, the clinic presented exculpatory evidence that led to the state dismissing the case. A Superior Court judge found that Amerson was denied a fair trial due and exonerated him of the crime.

On June 14 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that bump stocks are no longer illegal, reversing an order from Donald Trump and the ATF that was passed in the wake of the Las Vegas shootings. The words "Second Amendment" do not appear in the opinion, concurring opinion, or dissent. And yet, within minutes of the ruling, every news agency was calling it a Second Amendment case. So what is the Second Amendment?It's short. 27 words. Words which have been interpreted and reinterpreted by historians, activists, judges, and philosophers. What did it mean when it was written? What does it mean right now? And what happened in between?Today's episode features Saul Cornell, professor of history at Fordham University and author of A Well Regulated Militia, Alexandra Filindra, professor of political science at University of Illinois Chicago and author of Race, Rights, and Rifles, and Jake Charles, lecturing fellow and executive director of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke Law.

Welcome back to Season 9: Green Horizons! In the season finale, we are moving out of the classroom and into the realm of government to continue our exploration of what a climate-conscious future looks like. The Biden administration announced the creation of the American Climate Corps back in September, which aims to train a new generation of workers for jobs in the clean energy economy. The initiative draws heavily on AmeriCorps, an existing national service organization that was created in 1993 to teach youth professional skills through community service projects. We were lucky enough to sit down with Jonathan Wiener, a current Duke Law professor who was an environmental advisor to the Clinton administration and helped organize AmeriCorps's environmental efforts. Join us as we learn from Wiener about AmeriCorps's early days and what lessons the decades-old program has to offer the nascent American Climate Corps. ______ Visit our website to keep up with the OC team! https://operationclimatepo.wixsite.com/operationclimate Follow us on Instagram at @operationclimate!

As more and more humans came up against the edges of wilderness in American history, new laws were needed to help guide and shape what the process would look like. As time changed, so did the laws dealing with preserving nature and society's view on its importance. Jedediah Purdy is a professor of Law at Duke Law and the author of several books. His latest work is called Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy Is Flawed, Frightening―and Our Best Hope.Jedediah and Greg discuss the complex terrain of America's environmental laws, tracing the roots from the liberal tradition of conquering Fortuna to modern ecological movements. They also dissect the tension between preserving nature for human benefit and maintaining its mystical allure. They also talk about the often overlooked role of class in environmental politics, analyzing in-depth how this has influenced public debates over laws and public lands.Listen in and explore these intersections of politics, law, and nature with Jed Purdy.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:On the four different visions04:02: There are definitely, even more than four kinds of ways of experiencing and relating to the natural world that exist in the broad shape of American life. And then, especially if we were to take account of the variety of indigenous ways of relating that continue to have a life and have their own kinds of futures, these are four that are really embodied in legal regimes. So, they're a way of trying to understand how environmental imagination has been very practical in lending a shape to the law's world making activity.Viewing nature as a spiritual source12:00: There is this very different way of seeing nature, which is as a spiritual source, as a way of connecting us with a meaning that goes beyond and, in a way, above our practical and material projects. And has a religious significance, whether understood theologically or in a romantic register, that replaces religion traditionally understood with aesthetic experience and mystical intuition of a sort of world soul.The paradox of political energy and political aversion35:00: The book begins with the observation that our political moment feels paradoxical and that it's extremely politically energized, but the mobilization often feels connected much more with fear and despair around politics than any real sense that it's a constructive or hopeful activity. So we're very political, but we're very, obviously, big and crude, inviting people to recognize some part of their own experience and observation. But we are also very anxious about and averse to it.Climate crisis is an everything problem, not just an environmental one54:17: I don't think anyone would want to make averting the climate crisis hang on our ability or willingness to change all of those things at once. In some ways, the environmental question finally refuses to be siloed, and it may lose some of its distinctiveness. It may even be a residual habit—that sort of category error—to think of climate as an environmental problem rather than an everything problem.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Alexis de TocquevilleJohn LockeThe Homestead Act of 1862National Park Service Organic ActThe Wilderness ActHenry David ThoreauThe Frontier ThesisGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Duke LawHis Work:Two Cheers For PoliticsAfter Nature: A Politics for the AnthropoceneFor Common Things: Irony, Trust and Commitment in America TodayThe Meaning of Property: Freedom, Community, and the Legal ImaginationJedediah Purdy Amazon Author PageThis Land Is Our Land: The Struggle for a New CommonwealthA Tolerable Anarchy: Rebels, Reactionaries, and the Making of American FreedomBeing America: Liberty, Commerce, and Violence in an American WorldNew Yorker ArticlesThe Atlantic Articles

[Explicit Content] Today, Ed is joined by Adam Kol, The Couples Financial Coach. He helps couples go from financial overwhelm or tension to clarity, peace of mind, and teamwork. Adam brings experience as a Certified Mediator, Tax Attorney, and Financial Advisor to his financial counseling for couples. He graduated from Duke Law and has a Master's in Tax Law from NYU. He also hosts the Couples Financial Coach Podcast. In this conversation, Adam breaks down his process for determining where a couple is on their journey to a healthier shared relationship with money, and then getting them to the point where every discussion around money feels safe and inviting. His goal with every couple he counsels is threefold: to change how they see themselves, to change how they see their partner, and to change how they see their relationship. The key to seeing these changes comes down to developing a greater understanding of self and other. Adam encourages couples to create the space to be vulnerable and imperfect with each other, all while taking care to not blame one another for any money-related issue. In other words, it all it starts with taking 100% responsibility for our words and actions. Finally, Adam also shares that, despite differences in financial backgrounds or cultural attitudes toward money, the most important thing that couples can do to heal their relationship with money is to share with each other, and listen intently. Key Topics: Making money conversations feel safe and inviting between partners (04:50) Men, money, and overcoming unconscious biases (10:28) The negativity bias (19:47) Money and trauma (24:31) Taking 100% responsibility for your words and actions (30:10) Complementing each other in your shared money relationship (38:22) Counseling couples in cross-class marriages or with different financial backgrounds (45:14) Key takeaways (52:18) Resources: Learn more about Adam Kol at www.couplesfinancialcoach.com The Couples Financial Coach Podcast Healthy Love and Money Resources: Healthy Love and Money Website The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy Healthy Love and Money Facebook Healthy Love and Money Instagram Healthy Love and Money LinkedIn The Healthy Love & Money Way: How the Four Attachment Styles Impact Your Financial Well-Being (book) Stop Fighting & Start Talking: Gaining Peace and Perspective on Family Finances (book)
This week we're bringing in a fresh perspective on the Supreme Court's landmark decisions in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. I've talked with National Review's Charles Cooke and Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms about the case and its likely fallout on previous episodes of the podcast. It's only sensible to try and get another credible voice who looks at the situation from a different point of view. Andrew Willinger, the new executive director of Duke University's Center for Firearms Law, was gracious enough to fill that role. He gave his interpretation of what the court ruled in Bruen as well as its likely impact on Second Amendment cases moving forward. He argued the new text and tradition test leaves a lot of room for interpretation. He predicted there would be a lot of growing pains as the lower courts try to feel out how exactly to proceed with gun cases. Still, he said many modern gun regulations are at greater risk of being found unconstitutional under the Bruen standard. Plus, Contributing Editor Paul Crookston and I talk about the "assault weapons" ban just passed by the House. Special Guest: Andrew Willinger.
Hear about possible changes to the law admissions process and how to get accepted [Show Summary] Mark Hill, Senior Director of Admissions at Duke Law, has worked in admissions for twenty years. In this episode, he shares his thoughts on how law schools will be affected by a potential recession and the possible elimination of a test requirement. Mark explores how applicants, especially those hoping to get accepted to Duke, should handle the shifting landscape. Interview with Mark Hill, Senior Director of Admissions at Duke Law [Show Notes] Thanks for joining me for the 481st episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Are you applying to law school this cycle?

Just go to accepted.com/law-quiz, complete the quiz, and you'll not only get an assessment but also tips on how to improve your qualifications and your chances of acceptance. And it's all free. I'm delighted to have an Admissions Straight Talk, Mark Hill, Senior Director of Admissions at Duke Law. Mark earned his bachelor's degree in Cultural Anthropology from Duke, and then later earned a master's in Higher Ed from Northwestern, where he also served as Assistant Director of Admissions. In 2002, joined Duke Law as an Admissions officer. Since 2013, he has served Duke Law as Senior Director of Admissions. Can you give us an overview of the more distinctive elements of the Duke Law School JD program? [2:21] The way that I think about it, there are two elements that characterize Duke. One is that we're among a handful of really top-tier national law schools with students who come from all over and have really great job prospects all across the country. Most of our grads don't stay in North Carolina. They're looking elsewhere. There's a handful of law schools like that. The other thing that makes us distinctive is that we have a relatively small class size. We're in a smaller city and so we're a smaller school. We can really give individual attention to students. We help everybody who comes here craft their own course through the opportunities at Duke to get to where they want to end up. Because it's a smaller school and a smaller city, we really attract folks who are intending to be full-time law students. They're focused on engaging with one another and with their professors. I suppose it's not for everybody, but for people who want that kind of full-on focused experience, it can be really great. I've often mentioned a couple of distinctive dual degrees. We have two JD/LLM degrees that can be completed in the three years that it would take to do a JD so they don't add any additional time. You can get a really good concentration and an LLM focusing either on international and comparative law and all the spectrum of the things that means from public law to finance and corporate transactions. The other one focuses on law and entrepreneurship. Maybe you want to be a lawyer who works in the startup space or who works with venture capital. Maybe you have entrepreneurial ideas of your own. Maybe you just want to work for law firms that help provide legal services to those kinds of companies. The JD/LLM in law and entrepreneurship is a great thing there. Those are Duke-specific dual degrees. Of course, we have dual degrees with graduate programs like JD/MBA but I like to mention those as things that are particularly distinctive about Duke. This part of North Carolina has a lot of tech and startup activity because of Duke, UNC, and North Carolina State which are three major research universities in this area. A lot of big tech companies are actually moving in here like Google, Apple, and Meta. It's a natural fit not only because there's a growing demand for lawyers with those skills across the board but also because Duke is in a really good place to help our students con...

This episode of the Duke Law Podcast spotlights the Law School's Movement Lawyering Lab, in which students learn about how lawyers' history of centering themselves in social justice movements often perpetuates a problematic system of racial and gender hierarchy and leaves little room for innovative problem-solving. Speakers: Clinical Professor Anne Gordon, creator/instructor of the Movement Lawyering Lab course and director of externships at Duke Law; Clinical Professor Jesse McCoy, Supervising Attorney of Civil Justice Clinic (moderator); Vanessa Keverenge JD/LLM '23; and Evelyn Blanco '23.

On this week's episode, Voices of Innocence sits down with Caitlin Swain. Caitlin is a Duke Law graduate who worked on Dontae's case in the Wrongful Convictions Clinic under Theresa Newman and James Coleman. She discusses how she met Dontae, how he changed the trajectory of her life, and how he inspired the creation of Forward Justice. Currently, Caitlin works alongside Dontae at Forward Justice, a non-profit in Durham that seeks to advance racial justice. Caitlin qualifies Dontae's desire to make a positive change within the criminal justice system through his work at Forward Justice and provides ways for the listeners to support the non-profits mission.
This week Megan talks with Duke Law professors Jamie Lau and Jim Coleman about their work in the Duke Law Wrongful Convictions Clinic.

Dontae Sharpe was sentenced to life in prison at the age of 19. What came after was 26 years of appeals, post-conviction efforts, and prayers. With the help of Duke Law's Wrongful Convictions Clinic, who believed in Dontae's innocence, Dontae and his new team returned to court. We spoke with Dontae and Professor Theresa Newman about the path to overturning Dontae's conviction. After 26 years, Dontae was able to walk out of that courtroom, free of his shackles, and ready to re-learn about the world around him.

After clerking at one of the top law firms in California with a position, she saw the writing on the wall which was and still is: women don't have the same opportunities that men have and the likelihood of becoming a trial lawyer is so much less than that of a man who, in all reality, is half as good and has less experienced than the woman. So, she didn't take the big high paying job with great benefits, a great salary and a brand new car, instead, she drove her parents' junky prius up to Ventura and went out on her own. She started trying cases. Misdemeanors, felonies. And she started winning.

Today we're talking about gender and transgender ideology, why it's wrong-headed and unscientific, and how powerful entities like Big Tech don't seem to care about biological truth when it comes to whom they ban from their platforms. Last week the Allie Beth Stuckey Twitter account was suspended for half a day, supposedly for violating Twitter's rules on promoting violence. Except there were absolutely no calls to violence whatsoever in the tweet in question. The tweet simply stated a fact: Laurel Hubbard (the trans Olympic athlete) is a man, and he should not be allowed to compete with women. Twitter decided that was somehow unacceptable, while at the same time doing nothing to combat misinformation from the Left or CCP state propaganda. As we will demonstrate, the idea that men can become women whenever they want isn't up for debate. It's scientifically impossible. And it's bad news for all of us when speaking the truth is a banning offense. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs help your kids master new, hands-on skills while expressing their creativity.

In a Daily Beast article published on April 13, 2021, Julia Davis writes that, “the head of the Kremlin-funded RT and Sputnik news agencies believes Russia will invade Ukraine, sparking a conflict with the U.S. that will force entire cities into blackouts.” Also, according to a White House produced readout of a recent call between Presidents Biden and Putin, the leaders discussed a potential upcoming summit as well as Russia's military buildup and the ongoing tensions centering around Ukraine. Tensions between the United States and Russia are nothing new, but have recently intensified as a result of findings of Russian interference in US elections, the high profile SolarWinds cyberattack, and the Biden administrations implementation of a new round of sanctions. With no indications of relief on the horizon, what should we expect in the future? Will a cyber attack against the U.S be next? Should we be on high alert? Are we already? Or could we see a resolution of some sort between the two leaders? On Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Craig Williams is joined by Claire Finkelstein, professor of law and philosophy from University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School/Penn Law and General Charles J. Dunlap Jr., former deputy judge advocate general of the United States Air Force, and professor from Duke Law.

Curtis Flowers is a Mississippi man who was tried six times for the same crime and whose case was the subject of Season 2 of the APM Reports podcast "In the Dark." He spent nearly 23 years behind bars and endured six trials and four death sentences for four murders he has always maintained he did not commit. Four of the trials resulted in convictions, all of which were overturned on appeal. Flowers' case was one of three that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2016 were to be remanded to lower courts to be reviewed for evidence of racial bias in jury selection. He was finally freed in 2020 when the Mississippi Attorney General's Office dismissed indictments against him. In February, Flowers spoke at this Duke Law event with his attorney, Henderson Hill, sharing an inside look at his years-long saga and the injustices of a system zeroed in on convicting him. Wilson Center Director and Duke Law Professor Brandon Garrett moderated the discussion and Q&A that followed. Sponsored by the Wilson Center for Science and Justice at Duke Law.
Featuring guest speakers, Kerry Abrams, Guy-Uriel Charles, and Neil Siegel of Duke University School of Law. In Episode 7 of Notorious, we discuss the case of Shelby County v. Holder. The U.S. Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of two provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The provisions at issue were Section 5, which requires certain states and local governments to receive federal preclearance prior to implementing changes to their voting laws or practices; and Section 4(b), which provides the coverage formula for determining which state and local governments are subjected to preclearance due to histories of discrimination in voting. The Court ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that Section 4(b) was unconstitutional. Writing the Court's opinion, Chief Justice Roberts found that because the coverage formula was based on outdated data, it was no longer responsive to current needs; therefore, the coverage formula was an impermissible burden on the constitutional principles of federalism and state sovereignty. Although the Court did not strike down Section 5, it was essentially rendered moot without the enactment of a new coverage formula by Congress. Justice Ginsburg wrote a blistering dissent, joined by Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan, which she uncharacteristically delivered from the bench. Notably, the dissent reasoned: “The sad irony of today's decision lies in its utter failure to grasp why the [Voting Rights Act] has proven effective ... Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet." Kerry Abrams, James B. Duke and Benjamin N. Duke Dean of the School of Law, Duke University School of Law, joined by Duke Law professors, Guy-Uriel Charles and Neil Siegel, and Patterson Belknap associate and Duke Law alumnus, Hyatt Howard, discuss the different views expressed by the majority and dissent, as well as the history of voting rights and discrimination in the United States.

GameStop has captured the public's imagination in a way no other finance-related story has since the financial crisis. In this special double episode, we cover GameStop and its broader implications from all angles. In part one, Ty Gellasch discusses the potential legal liability some of the folks on Reddit's Wall Street Bets forum may be facing, the issues around clearing and settlement as well as payment for order flow, and what GameStop means for an already crowded SEC agenda under President Biden. Ty is the executive director of Healthy Markets Association and a nonresident fellow at the Global Financial Markets Center. In part two, you'll hear the audio from a live virtual event that features several Duke Law faculty members discussing what happened with GameStop and RobinHood and answering student questions. If you're less familiar with the details on what happened with GameStop, you may want to skip ahead and first listen to the faculty discussion.
In the past year, movements to address deep racial inequities embedded in the criminal system gained greater prominence and popular support. At the forefront of these movements are leaders in North Carolina fighting the cash bail system that incarcerates people based on poverty, the racially disparate disenfranchisement of individuals for unpaid fines and fees, and the dangerous conditions facing largely black and brown people in local jails. In this Duke Law discussion, Professor Brandon Garrett, director of the Wilson Center for Science and Justice, moderates a talk with Daryl Atkinson, who co-directs Forward Justice; Andrea "Muffin" Hudson, who founded and directs the NC Community Bail Fund; and, Leah Kang, staff attorney at the ACLU-NC, as they share their experience with innovative racial justice-related work in Durham and in North Carolina.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Joseph Blocher, a constitutional law expert and Duke Law professor, to discuss the ins and outs of the Supreme Court’s Heller Decision 10 years after the ruling and its impact on arguably the most partisan piece of the Constitution, the Second Amendment. As partisan lines continue to intensify, we wanted to reevaluate one of the most contentious and controversial issues facing the nation right now, gun control and the role of the Second Amendment. Specifically, we wanted to talk about one of the most impactful legal decisions on the topic a decade after the High Court’s ruling was handed down. In today’s episode, Aaron talks to Joseph about his role as a young associate working on the Heller case and his academic work in the decade since. Joseph explains the scope of the decision as well as what has followed. Aaron and Joseph discuss the Heller case specifically but also consider the general arguments surrounding the Second Amendment and the current political climate. Joseph is a professor at Duke Law. After graduating from Yale Law School, Joseph started at O’Melveny and Myers in D.C. where he worked closely with attorney and constitutional law expert, Walter E. Dellinger. Through his practice at the firm, Joseph found an interest in the Second Amendment. His principal academic interests include federal and state constitutional law, including the First and Second Amendments, property and legal history. At Duke, his current scholarship addresses issues of gun rights and regulation, free speech, sovereignty, and refugee law. Joseph’s latest book focuses on the Second Amendment and the future of Heller; entitled The Positive Second Amendment: Rights, Regulation, and the Future of Heller. The book is a fascinating and enlightening read that explains the misconceptions about the Second Amendment and aims to shed a positive light on the constitutional aspect of the right and calls on partisans on both sides of the debate to see the Second Amendment in its true light.

We talk to two experts in finance and student loans, Heather Jarvis from AskHeatherJarvis.com and Kevin Soehner from iGrad.com and enrich.org, to improve your financial literacy. Heather Jarvis - AskHeatherJarvis.com Heather graduated from Duke University School of Law cum laude owing $125,000 in student loans and facing 30-years’ worth of $1,200 monthly payments. No one ever told Heather that she couldn’t afford to go to Duke, even though, um, she couldn’t. Her mother was a modestly paid executive assistant and her father a mostly unemployed Shakespearean actor. Heather didn’t realize she couldn’t afford an expensive education until after she got one. At one time, people who earned fancy grades at fancy law schools got offered fancy jobs with fancy paychecks. Having become all fancyfied, Heather had to decide: take the job she had been dreaming about all her life that only paid $25,000 per year (representing people facing criminal prosecution), or make a boatload of money. Duke Law’s generous loan repayment assistance program made it possible for Heather to eschew the money without defaulting on her student loans (Go Devils!). She will always be grateful that Duke enabled her to continue ignoring her own financial security in pursuit of her irresistible urge to stand up for people in trouble. Heather has practiced public interest law for more than a dozen years. Beginning in 2005, Heather focused her advocacy work on reducing the financial barriers to practicing public interest law. Heather has contributed to student debt relief policy for the House Education Committee and others in Congress, and has dedicated her professional efforts to advancing public service loan forgiveness which allows recent graduates to dedicate their careers to the greater good. Heather leads efforts to establish and expand student debt relief programs and to inform borrowers, schools, and employers about how to benefit from available debt relief programs. Widely recognized by school professionals and media representatives as an expert source of information, Heather has trained thousands of students and professionals and is sought after for her sophisticated legal knowledge and accessible teaching style. Kevin Soehner - iGrad.com Kevin coordinates interdepartmental communication and workflow while overseeing our back end operational units. Outside the office, Kevin can be found binging on Netflix and lamenting the latest Buffalo sports disappointment.

Rochelle Newton is a Senior Manager of IT at Duke Law. Rochelle has worked in Information Technology (IT) for more than 30 years for public and private entities. Rochelle recently completed her doctoral studies at East Carolina. As technology has evolved, Rochelle has developed an analytical perspective of technology at the intersection of education. This perspective and her work in higher education led to her dissertation thesis, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This topic highlighted the underlying presumption of a one-size-fits-all model in education and has become a focus of her career. Rochelle has been a non-traditional student throughout her academic endeavors. This experience has influenced her thoughts on what is needed for academic success for each learner and formulizing academic achievement requires more than assessment and evaluation. Her interests include food insecurity on college campuses, diversity and equal pay, and mentorship for women in Information Technology.
All eyes have turned to the judiciary. It's the one potential institutional check on Trump on the federal level (aside from the national security state). But the judiciary, despite pretenses to the contrary, is fundamentally political. It has historically shred civil rights and economic protections more often than it has protected them. Today, Dan Denvir speaks to Jed Purdy about the judiciary and other matters. Purdy is a professor at Duke Law and the author of three books on American political identity including The Meaning of Property. His most recent book is After Nature: A Politics for the Anthropocene and he has published articles in many, many publications.
Duke Law professor Jedediah Purdy gives the 3rd Lillian Stone Distinguished Lecture in Environmental Policy: “Environmental Justice, Again.” He discusses the history of the American environmental movement, focusing on the broader movement’s relationship to environmental justice concepts.

When Chief Justice Earl Warren was asked at the end of his career, “What was the most important case of your tenure?”, there were a lot of answers he could have given. After all, he had presided over some of the most important decisions in the court’s history — cases that dealt with segregation in schools, the right to an attorney, the right to remain silent, just to name a few. But his answer was a surprise: He said, “Baker v. Carr,” a 1962 redistricting case. On this episode of More Perfect, we talk about why this case was so important; important enough, in fact, that it pushed one Supreme Court justice to a nervous breakdown, brought a boiling feud to a head, put one justice in the hospital, and changed the course of the Supreme Court — and the nation — forever.
