Our conversation emphasizes the importance of the continuity of our podcast and the essentiality of starting from the onset of each episode.Venturing deeper, we navigate the intricate labyrinth of the grand jury process, criminal law, and criminal offenses. This episode features a dissection of the differences between theft and robbery, the concept of criminal intent, and the often blurred lines between planning and committing a crime. We critically analyze the implications of President Trump's actions and the ethical obligations of lawyers. We will guide you through the complexities of forgery, accessing laws, legal documents, the repercussions of false statements, and impersonating public officers.As we reach the climax of our journey, we take a historical detour, delving into New Mexico's legal records and historical legal cases. We scrutinize the Treaty of Peace between the United States and Mexico and the settlement of the Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon Territory. As we near the end of this voyage, we pose thought-provoking reflections on the power of justice, the importance of understanding the laws that govern us, and the complexities of personal autonomy and collective governance. So, join us on this captivating expedition through time, law, and the depths of human experience.

In this episode, Sara Gras, Associate Professor and Executive Director of the Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Law Library Center for Information & Technology at Seton Hall University School of Law, discusses her article "Positioning Podcasting as Legal Scholarship," which will be published in the Utah Law Review. Here is the abstract:Technology has revolutionized legal practice, education, and society generally, yet the availability of new forms of digital media has not significantly changed the locus of legal scholarship. This Article examines whether our collective understanding of where scholarship can exist should expand to include podcasting as a formally acknowledged medium for legal scholarship.This episode was hosted by Noah Chauvin.

Brian L. Frye is a law professor and filmmaker - and somewhere along the way, he decided to draw on the most interesting bits of both those endeavours and come up with an entirely different approach to his engagement with the law. He describes his work as "conceptual art in the medium of legal scholarship", wherein he challenges some of the most dearly-held commitments of the academy, including arguing that norms against plagiarism are illegitimate (indeed, he specifically encourages and authorizes people to plagiarize his work). Lately, he's taken to successfully selling his law review article art projects as NFTs. We talk about imagining Sergei Eisenstein, what he lifted from Isaiah Berlin, why law students say they don't like math but actually do, and what's been inspiring his most recent run of publications and interventions. You can follow Brian on Twitter @brianlfrye, check out some of his scholarship at SSRN, and listen to his podcast, Ipse Dixit, at https://shows.acast.com/ipse-dixit.

The presenters at the Symposium then turned their presentations into written pieces for the December 2020 edition of Vanderbilt Law Review.

A series of conversations on international legal scholarship, political engagement and the transformative potential of academia. Each conversation is chaired by Francisco José Quintana and Marina Veličković and centres around a theme, concept or a method and their relationship to political movements, struggles and margins from which they have emerged and within (and for) which they have emancipatory potential. The conversation will explore the relationship between knowledge production, critical scholarship, and change in international economic law — focusing on investor-state dispute settlement and international investment law more generally. We will explore how inequalities in access to knowledge and resources have shaped the opportunities for resistance in international investment law, how these inequalities have led to particular outcomes of institutional design, and explore the surrounding discourse and scholarship on political economy and international investment law. Marina and Francisco will lead the conversation for ~45 minutes after which they will pass the responsibility on to the audience. This session will be hosted online via Zoom Webinar. Pre-registration is required.

Is originalism required by our law? We chat with Charles Barzun about his critique of the inclusive originalists, the new movement to claim that an originalist interpretive method is not only a good choice among possible methods but is the method which is mandated by a positivist approach to our law.

When interpretations and rules depend on what’s true about the world (so, all the time), judges have to reach conclusions about those truths. But courts are not exactly like administrative agencies or legislatures, and they depend on adversarial parties to contest the truth. The Supreme Court, in particular, has come to rely on an elite bar to organize and present facts and studies. Having been through our usual vetting process of successfully appearing on the Colbert Report, Alli Larsen is ready for the big time and joins us to discuss how courts deal with the problem of factiness (which is the ivory tower version of truthiness). Alli’s appearance on the Colbert Report (01:02). The pronunciation of “amicus” (05:24). The main topic (10:36).
