Podcast appearances and mentions of rebecca roiphe

What happens when the principles of law clash with evolving ideologies in academia? Join us today as we delve into the transformative journey of legal education with Rebecca Roiphe, a lawyer, visiting fellow at the Siegel Center for Academic Pluralism, and author of the upcoming book, "The Devil's Advocate: How Law Schools Abandoned the Law."In this compelling episode, Rebecca Roiphe outlines the transformative shifts within legal education over the past fifty years, moving from a focus on rigorous professional training to a mission oriented towards achieving social justice through law. This transformation is significantly influenced by the Critical Legal Studies (CLS) movement, which posits that law is not a neutral framework but rather a tool manipulable by those in power. Rebecca provides a nuanced exploration of how CLS morphed from an intellectual movement into a dominant force in contemporary legal education and its broader implications on the legal profession and democracy.In This Episode:The transformation of legal education over the past fifty yearsImpact of the Critical Legal Studies (CLS) movement on law schoolsThe evolving mission of law schools from professional training to social justiceIntellectual origins and key figures in CLSChallenges within the legal profession due to ideological siloingImplications for the rule of law and democracy About Rebecca:Rebecca Roiphe is a Trustee Professor of Law at New York Law School, focusing on the history and ethics of the legal profession.

On Monday, the prosecution rested its case in Donald Trump's hush money trial in Manhattan. This comes after Trump's defense team concluded their efforts to destroy former Trump fixer Michael Cohen's credibility as one of the chief witnesses against Trump. So has the prosecution proven its case? We talked to New York Law School professor Rebecca Roiphe, who has prosecuted cases like these in New York, about why she thinks a conviction is now likely—even as it still remains very possible that Trump could beat the rap.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmWith Matt on vacation this week, Brian hosts a conversation with Rebecca Roiphe, a New York University law professor and former Manhattan prosecutor who enforced the very laws Donald Trump is charged with breaking in his first criminal trial. They discuss:* Why legal commentators who criticized District Attorney Alvin Bragg's theory of the case were factually wrong about the laws at issue and how they are applied;* The importance of enforcing these laws, whether violators represent big businesses or small businesses, and whether their motives were financial, political, personal, or a combination thereof;* Whether it would've been a breach of duty for Bragg not to bring charges in this case.Then, paid subscribers hear a more abstract conversation about legal discourse and ethics. Why were so many legal and media elites, including many Trump critics, so eager to line up against Bragg, even as they lacked the subject-matter expertise to know whether Bragg had exceeded his mandate? Even if Bragg had gone fishing for a reason to try Trump on felony charges, would that be a violation of his ethical obligations or his oath of office? Should Trump's status as an exceptionally high-profile political leader insulate him in any way from accountability for lower-tier felonies, even if law-enforcement officers understand him to be a serial scofflaw?We hope you enjoy the conversation, and if you'd like to listen to the whole thing, you can upgrade to paid for a private feed that gets you access to the complete Politix archive and all future episodes. Further reading:* Brian on why Joe Biden should break his vow of silence and begin commenting on the hush-money case. * Mark Joseph Stern on why he was wrong, initially, to be skeptical of Alvin Bragg's case and what made him come around.* There's a new Stormy Daniels documentary on Peacock.

Traditional norms dictate that the Department of Justice and federal prosecutors exercise discretion independent of partisan politics and free from political interference. In recent years, the DOJ and the Attorney General have acted in ways that some scholars criticize as compromising prosecutorial independence and eroding the integrity of the federal justice system. Professors Bruce Green and Rebecca Roiphe discuss the ethical duties and roles of the Attorney General and line prosecutors in preserving this independence and examine recent high-profile examples of the head of the DOJ at odds with line prosecutors in criminal prosecutions.

Prosecutors have the power to make decisions that have a deep impact on the lives of arrestees and defendants. This power arises, in large part, from the enormous discretion they exercise over decisions like whether to initiate charges and which charges to bring, whether to offer plea bargains and under what terms, what sentences to seek, and how to present and try a case. Public attention has focused on prosecutors' discretion in recent years, as their conduct is increasingly scrutinized in high-profile cases involving civilian deaths in police shootings and sexual assault by wealthy, powerful men. Professors Bruce Green and Rebecca Roiphe, both former prosecutors, discuss through the lens of recent controversial cases the ethical and legal standards governing prosecutorial conduct and why prosecutorial discretion is not a black-and-white matter.

In the modern era, U.S. Supreme Court justices have been cited for what some critics characterize as “controversial” statements, sometimes relating to actual or potential matters before the Court. In some instances, these critiques have been accompanied by calls for recusal in specific cases. More recently, critics have turned to the statements not only of the justices themselves, but of the spouse of one particular justice. In light of these recent developments, what are the free speech considerations for justices and their family members? Although there is no formal code of judicial conduct applicable to spouses or even the justices of the Supreme Court, what are the ethical considerations of these actions? Does Congress have authority to impose an ethical code on this co-equal branch of government, particularly at the level of the Supreme Court?Featuring:-- Prof. Rebecca Roiphe, Trustee Professor of Law and Co-Dean for Faculty Scholarship, New York Law School-- Prof. Thomas D.

Donald Trump is challenging the independence of the Justice Department in unprecedented ways – and neither the U.S. Constitution nor Congress has set explicit limits on presidential authority over federal prosecutors.

Back in 2016, months before the Presidential election, attorney Michael Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with his client, Donald Trump, discussing the payment to a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who alleged she had an affair with Trump. These recordings bring up a myriad of legal issues when it comes to attorneys and their clients, but it also breaches the question—could the content collected from these recordings be a violation of federal campaign finance law? On Lawyer 2 Lawyer, hosts Bob Ambrogi and Craig Williams join attorney and professor Rebecca Roiphe from New York Law School and attorney and professor Bennett Gershman from Pace Law to discuss the Michael Cohen tapes, legal ethics, attorney-client privilege, campaign finance law, the impact of these tapes, and what lies ahead for attorney Cohen and the President. Rebecca Roiphe is an attorney and professor from New York Law School. Rebecca worked as an Assistant District Attorney in the New York County District Attorney’s Office where she prosecuted money laundering, securities fraud, and corporate crime. Bennett Gershman is an attorney and professor from Pace Law. While in private practice he specialized in criminal defense litigation. He served for four years with the Special State Prosecutor investigating corruption in the judicial system. He is one of the nation’s leading experts on prosecutorial misconduct.
