Did you know that the fight for animal rights shares deep parallels with the human rights movement? Both causes emphasize the protection of sentient beings from exploitation, whether it's humans or animals. Legal scholars, like Michael Dorf, argue that the moral and legal frameworks that protect vulnerable humans also apply to non-human animals, challenging societal norms and pushing for greater empathy and justice across species. This connection forms the basis for some of the most progressive legal arguments today, blending compassion with constitutional law. In this episode of the NHA Health Science Podcast, hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, attorney Michael Dorf takes center stage. Dorf, a Robert Stevens Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, has authored numerous books and scholarly articles, many of which explore the intersections of constitutional law, human rights, and animal rights. This fascinating discussion highlights Dorf's legal expertise and his journey into the vegan lifestyle, along with insights into the growing movement for animal advocacy. Michael Dorf's Journey to Veganism and Animal Advocacy Michael's journey toward veganism began in 1995 when his family adopted dogs. However, it wasn't until his late wife, Sherry Colb, a colleague of renowned animal rights activist Gary Francione, introduced vegan baked goods to their home that the shift toward a fully vegan lifestyle began. By 2006, Michael had committed to a vegan diet, initially motivated by animal rights. Over time, he embraced the health and environmental benefits of a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) and SOS-free (salt, oil, sugar) diet, underscoring how multiple factors contribute to veganism. Legal Expertise in Animal Rights As an influential legal scholar, Michael Dorf has played a crucial role in shaping discussions on animal rights, frequently participating in landmark cases. He collaborated with Steve Wise, a pioneer in animal law, on the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and worked on the well-known case of Happy the Elephant. Although the case didn't result in a legal victory, Dorf highlights the importance of these cases in raising awareness and shifting public perceptions about animal rights. Tobacco and Vaping Research: A Legal Perspective Beyond animal rights, Michael has contributed to vital public health research, particularly on the effects of tobacco and vaping warning labels. He discusses the challenge of crafting messages that deter teens from vaping while encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful alternatives. His research has contributed to FDA regulations and highlights the critical role of legal frameworks in promoting public health. Full post at: www.HealthScience.org/104-Michael-Dorf

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. AboutMore Just from Berkeley Law is a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems. The rule of law — and the role of the law — has never been more important. In these difficult times, law schools can, and must, play an active role in finding solutions. But how? Each episode of More Just starts with a problem, then explores potential solutions, featuring Dean Erwin Chemerinsky as well as other deans, professors, students, and advocates, about how they're making law schools matter.Have a question about teaching or studying law, or a topic you'd like Dean Chemerinsky to explore?

City Winery Founder and Chief Executive Michael Dorf dropped out of law school at age twenty-three to found New York City's Knitting Factory, which The New York Times later called “one of the most influential downtown music clubs of the 1990s.” He was recognized as an Internet music pioneer by webcasting the first live music stream from a club anywhere in the world. In 2008, Michael brought together his love for music and wine by opening City Winery, Manhattan's first fully-functional winery, restaurant, music venue, and private event space. It now has thriving locations in major cities across the United States. Since 2006, his Carnegie Hall tribute concert series has raised more than $1.5 million to benefit music education programs. National media outlets have praised him as an important music impresario and New York Magazine lauded him one of the “10 Most Influential New Yorkers.”    Owning a bar close to Ground Zero left a lasting impact on Michael's worldview. Find out how one of the most difficult events in American history led Michael toward a more meaningful life on the One Away Show.   The One Away Moment:  Michael's inflection point was during 9/11 when he had the profound sense to do something meaningful in his life that eventually got him into starting a city winery.   Three Key Takeaways:   DTC is the best way to go in the wine business to preserve margins. Having a high EQ is a critical trait of a good leader  Communicating clearly as a leader is equally important as being sensitive about the employees emotions.

SHOW NOTES: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2023/10/am-yisrael-chai-tammar-stein.html On October 7, 2023, the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war, the terrorist group Hamas launched a brutal attack against Israel, murdering and kidnapping civilians young and old as well as striking military targets on multiple fronts. At the time of writing, Israel is at war. With Israel on my mind and in my heart, I went back and listened to Tammar Stein's 2017 interview on The Book of Life about her middle grade novel, The Six Day Hero, which is about the 1967 Six Day War. I thought you might like to hear it too. FYI, in 2020 Tammar published a companion book, Beni's War, about the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Both books are excellent. I left the original "tune in next time" teaser on the end of the recording because I found it moving. It was Fawzia Gilani-Williams, author of Yaffa and Fatima, Shalom Salaam, dedicating her episode to the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom because of their message of peace. There's a link to that interview in the show notes. For a tikkun olam moment of my own, I'm making a donation to Magen David Adom, the Israeli version of the Red Cross. I invite you to join me. Please see below for additional book recommendations and past podcasts about Israel-related youth literature.

The federal government has always had debt. How much is too much, and how do politicians exploit it? This episode originally dropped in August 2022, but since the subject is in the news, we've been getting lots of questions about it!SUPPORT OUR WORK - DONATE TO CIVICS 101 TODAY!Since our nation's founding, the federal government has borrowed money from other governments, private investors, and businesses in order to operate. Over the last century, the debt ceiling, a Congressional cap on how much debt we can have, keeps getting higher and higher. We talk about how the national debt works, how it's been used as political leverage, and how that impacts the health of our economy. Louise Sheiner, senior economics fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Michael Dorf, Constitutional law professor at Cornell Law, help us make sense of trillions of dollars in debt.

When Michael Dorf was growing up in suburban Milwaukee, he liked to build.  Friends and neighbors actually let him build not only their treehouses but their rec rooms.  The love of building has never stopped.  That sense of what could be has led him to create two of New York's most iconic concert venues and an annual series of concerts at Carnegie Hall that give underserved kids the magic of music.  There were early years in New York when this success was by no means guaranteed.  But there was plenty of passion and purpose.  Still is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bertrand Russell's "History of Western Philosophy"... Lao Tse..." - Teaching: "what I really value is engagement with hard questions" - "The sorts of answers that religion gives stop asking the questions just when they become interesting... god made the world... god thus commanded it... it leaves lots of further questions unasked" - "Nearly all of the spiritual or supernatural beliefs I've encountered, whether religious or otherwise, strike me as ridiculous" - "If that happens [god appearing] then I'll adjust my views... but that will be in response to evidence... that itself would be a kind of naturalism." ...and much more.

On April 18, a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mask requirement on airplanes, trains, buses, and other public transportation. In a 59-page opinion, Judge Mizelle stated that the CDC had exceeded its legal authority under relevant federal law, including the 1944 Public Health Services Act, and failed to follow administrative procedure rules. The decision further vacated the mask mandate on a nationwide basis. The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal the decision.  Michael Dorf of Cornell Law School and Adam White of the American Enterprise Institute join us for a discussion about the legal arguments on both sides of the decision, and a broader debate about nationwide injunctions—when a single district court judge blocks a law or government regulation on a national scale. Jeffrey Rosen moderates.  Questions or comments about the show?

This time it's personal. Many of my happiest music memories are of performances at Michael Dorf's Knitting Factory between the mid-Eighties and the early-2000's. Michael must have heard thousands of bands in those years but when I asked him who we should hail on Deep Focus, he answered immediately: Sonny Sharrock.  Sonny, who reinvented the guitar to suit his own extravagant purposes every time he played it, left us nearly 28 years ago but he is not forgotten. His music is indelible and we've got the goods to prove it!  In this rebroadcast from 2019, the WKCR archives deliver the kind of jaw-dropping annihilations that make Sonny Sharrock a cult hero to this day.   This Monday night (4/11) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.  Tuesday morning it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #DeepFocus #SonnySharrock #MichaelDorf #MitchGoldman #JazzRadio #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast #NoWave    Photo credit: no publishing information available.

  Michael Dorf was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. After studying Psychology and Business at Washington University, he founded New York City's go-to venue for independent music, the Knitting Factory, in 1986. As Knitting Factory Chairman and CEO, Dorf helped bring the concert house to global prominence by expanding into Europe and Asia via tours, branded festivals, and record production and sales. Dorf was recognized as a pioneer in producing music on the Internet, through a variety of strategic relationships with Apple Computer, Intel, MCI, and Bell Atlantic. During his Knitting Factory tenure, he produced over 200 recordings, a television series, and built a new venue in Los Angeles. In 2002, he left his operating responsibilities and sold his equity position to pursue other endeavors, including a Carnegie Hall concert fundraiser series, founding a Hebrew school, and winemaking. By 2008, Dorf had conceptualized a venue that brought his love for both the making and enjoyment of wine under one roof and created City Winery –Manhattan's first fully-functional winery, restaurant, music venue and private event space. City Winery offers a wide selection of wines, exquisite cuisine and intimate performances from iconic performers. Dorf expanded his company in 2012 with the opening of City Winery Chicago. Subsequent years have brought new venues to Nashville, Atlanta, Boston, and Washington DC, with Hudson Valley and Philadelphia.

Over the weekend, the Trump campaign suffered a legal defeat when a federal judge in Pennsylvania dismissed the campaign's lawsuit that aimed to block the state's vote certification that would solidify victory for President-elect Joe Biden. Senate & Governors Editor for The Cook Political Report Jessica Taylor joins to discuss what the next moves may be for President Trump and the Republican Party, the likely outcome of the Georgia runoff elections and how a divided government could impact the progress of another coronavirus stimulus relief bill. With coronavirus cases surging across the country, indoor dining is on hold or limited. With colder weather coming outdoor dining won't be an option for some states and even where restaurants are open a lot of people don't feel comfortable sitting inside. Michael Dorf, owner of city Winery in New York and other cities discusses his approach to have indoor dining by adding a covid test that cost $50 before being seated. He also discusses how the cost of the tests will impact his business and what to expect from Congress moving forward in the pandemic.    Plus, commentary from Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist, and author of "America's Expiration Date: The Fall Of Empires, Superpowers and the United States" Learn more about your ad choices.
