Bernadette Atuahene initially moved to Detroit, Michigan to study squatters rights. But she discovered a more urgent issue once there— that many Black residents were losing their homes. The reason was property tax foreclosure, and it came as a result of property taxes that were illegally inflated. It’s one of several racist housing policies that shapes who does or doesn’t have generational wealth in the U.S. This hour, we’re talking about government policies that impact the homes and neighborhoods people live in. GUEST: Bernadette Atuahene: Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Her new book is Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America.

Some Intellectual Property experts contend that American patent reliability has been in decline for 20 years. They point to the threat of inter partes review, the misuse of march-in rights under the Bayh-Dole Act, the imposition of reasonable or reference price clauses, direct government price-setting, and, most importantly, an inability to obtain an injunction after a finding of infringement. In fact, since the Supreme Court decided eBay v. MercExchange in 2006, injunctions have declined precipitously - some studies have shown as much as a 91% reduction.Are current patent owners and their licensees taking a risk in believing that their patents will accomplish their raison d’être… affecting the right to exclude? Is it true that patent owners cannot count on their patents to prevent copycat products from entering the market or to allow patent owners or their licensees to charge market prices for their goods? Should injunctive relief be more readily available in patent cases?This FedSoc forum will explore the history of injunctive relief in patent cases and explain the eBay opinion and how it is currently being applied by the trial courts. This program will also discuss potential legislative proposals to provide regular access to injunctive relief in order to restore patent reliability.Featuring:Prof. Jonathan Barnett, Professor, University of Southern California Gould School of LawProf. Thomas Cotter, Taft, Stettinius & Hollister Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law SchoolNick Matich, Principal, McKool SmithHon.

Episode 41 The Dynamics of Decision-Making: Psychology and the Criminal Justice System Human errors can irrevocably alter the course of someone's life in the criminal justice system. In a fascinating follow-up to Episode 40 on the role of pseudoscience in the courtroom, Dan Simon joins host Matt Adams to dissect Dan's book, In Doubt: The Psychology of the Criminal Process. Dan, who is also the Richard and Maria Crutcher Professor of Law and Psychology at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, digs into the inherent role of psychology and cognitive science throughout the criminal justice process. Matt and Dan explore how spontaneous and induced errors impact and influence criminal investigations. Dan offers a scientific perspective on how to improve the system to make it more accurate and fair. He also explains why his proposals would benefit law enforcement and the accused. And lastly, Dan takes aim at the interrogation process and the adversarial legal system in the United States and the structural role both play in reaching accurate outcomes in a case.

This week, Meri Baghdasaryan sits down with Reema Moussa, the host and producer of this podcast. Reema is currently a third-year J.D. Candidate at the USC Gould School of Law focused on cybersecurity, privacy, internet governance, trust & safety, and other tech law and policy issues. In this episode, Meri takes Reema through an introspective conversation about Reema's journey as a law student and an ILPF Fellow, as the fellowship (and her time in law school) comes to an end. In addition, Reema reflects on her path to internet law and policy, starting with a formative college internship at the International Telecommunication Union in Geneva, which sparked her interest in international law, AI policy, and cyberwarfare. She then explains how she has found a niche at the nexus of cybersecurity & privacy, trust & safety, business, and the law over the last several years. Then, Meri and Reema get into her experience as a Foundry fellow and executive board member. She also highlights some of her other internships and organizations she's been involved in. Reema discusses her passion for being a bridge between professional communities and her goal of harnessing communication as a lawyer to drive innovation. As a tech optimist at heart, she discusses how she balances her motivation to use the law to protect people from the potential harms or abuses of technology, with her belief that technology can ultimately make the world better.

The president is exploring an executive order to limit mail-in voting. But does he have the power to do that, even if his claims about absentee voting being fraudulent are unfounded? Election scholars Edward Foley (Ohio State University Moritz College of Law) and Franita Tolson (University of Southern California Gould School of Law) walk through scenarios in which the federal government could limit voting or change the rules.
On this episode of On the Issues with Michele Goodwin, we review the 2019-2020 Supreme Court term. Since 1790, of the 113 individuals who have served on the Supreme Court, only four have been women. Similarly, in over 230 years, only three justices have been persons of color—two of whom presently serve on the Court. Under Trump, the vast majority of judges confirmed to the nation’s federal courts are white men. Thus, in over two hundred years, very little has changed in terms of the Court’s composition. Where do women fit in? How can the Court evolve in recognizing the rights of women and marginalized groups when it doesn't reflect the actual makeup of the U.S.?On this episode, we review the 2019-2020 Supreme Court term—which has been a roller coaster, leaving many to wonder about the Court’s commitment to equality, inclusion and nondiscrimination—despite decisions that appeared to be wins for vulnerable communities. For example, despite a win in June Medical on abortion rights, the Trump administration has gutted reproductive health policies put in place during the Nixon administration—such as Title X, which provides reproductive healthcare for the poorest Americans. As well, many concerned about racial equality view the Court as slipping in its regard for equal opportunity and the protection of due process for people of color. Joining Dr. Michele Goodwin as we try to understand these issues are: Brigitte Amiri, deputy director at the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project. Erwin Chemerinsky, dean and Jesse H. Choper distinguished professor of law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law Leah Litman, assistant professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School and co-host of the "Strict Scrutiny" podcast.

Gross, John B. and Alice R. Sharp Professor of Law and History and Co-Director of the Center for Law, History, and Culture at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, discuss their new book, "Becoming Free, Becoming Black: Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana," which is published by Cambridge University Press. They begin by explaining the origins of the project. They explain why they chose those three jurisdictions, and reflect on how the law of freedom affected the law of slavery. And they discuss how and why the three jurisdictions developed in different ways. Gross is on Twitter @arielagross.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

How do we think about race? How do we think about the history of racism in the law? Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Ariela Gross, of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, to discuss the notion of race, racism, and the laws of freedom. Ariela is the co-author of a new book that explores today’s topic; Becoming Free, Becoming Black: Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana, tells the story of enslaved and free people of color who used the law to claim freedom and citizenship for themselves and their loved ones. Looking closely at three slave societies – Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana – Ariela and her co-author, Alejandro de la Fuente, demonstrate that the law of freedom, not slavery, established the meaning of blackness in law. In today’s conversation, Aaron and Ariela discuss how the laws of freedom were used to determine if it was possible to move from slave status to freedom, and whether or not claims to citizenship would be tied to racial identity. Ariela and Aaron map the history of law and cover a wide array of topics, including: 1690 Havana, white supremacy, claims of identity, Spanish legal practices, the origins of law, “free soil” arguments, and more. What can this history teach us? And, how does it compare to today? The John B. and Alice R. Sharp Professor of Law and History at USC, Dr. Gross received both her JD and PhD in History from Stanford. Ariela teaches Contracts, History of American Law, and Race and Gender in the law. Her research and writing focus on race and slavery in the United States. In 2017-18, Ariela was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, and an American Council of Learned Societies Collaborative Research Fellow. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Frederick J. Burkhardt Fellowship of the American Council of Learned Societies, and an NEH Huntington Library Long-Term Fellowship to support her research for her 2008 book, What Blood Won’t Tell: A History of Race on Trial in America. In 2010, Ariela was appointed a Distinguished Lecturer by the Organization of American Historians and has been part of the USC Gould faculty since 1996.

In this episode, Felipe Jiménez, Assistant Professor of Law and Philosophy at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, discusses his draft article "The Case for Formalism in Contract Law Adjudication." Jiménez begins by explaining the differences between legal formalism and legal realism, and reflecting on the realist critique of formalism. He also explains the difference between instrumentalist and non-instrumentalist theories of law. He argues that a formalist approach to the adjudication of contract disputes can promote an instrumentalist theory of law, and may be more effective at promoting the goals of instrumentalist. He also reflects on the values of legal pluralism, and how they may be promoted more effectively by formalist adjudication than realist approaches.

In this episode ...Professor Orin Kerr, Professor of Law, Berkeley Law School, explains how to read a legal opinion. The episode is an exploration of Prof. Kerr's essential article, How To Read A Legal Opinion: A Guide For New Law Students, 11 Greenbag 2d 51 (2007). Professor Kerr discusses the parts of a brief, what aspects of a case matter to a law professor and emphasizes the need for learning the new language of the law. He acknowledges his own struggles with case law reading when he began law school (we both do), and encourages students to recognize the learning curve involved in reading a judicial opinion. Some key takeaways are...1. There is not necessarily a right answer in law school, so don't look for a "right answer" in a case.2. Facts matter, particularly the facts of a case that are relevant to the court's reasoning.3. Pay attention to a court's reasoning and don't discount the dissent.4. Reading cases isn't easy; we have all struggled with the experience!About our guest...Professor Orin Kerr joined the Berkeley Law faculty in 2019 after serving as the Frances R. and John J. Duggan Distinguished Professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. From 2001 to 2017, he was a professor at the George Washington University Law School. Kerr has previously been a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. An accomplished teacher, Kerr received the outstanding teaching award from the George Washington Law School Class of 2009.Kerr specializes in criminal procedure and computer crime law, and he has also taught courses in criminal law, evidence, and professional responsibility. He has written more than 60 law review articles, over 40 of which have been cited in judicial opinions (including seven articles that have been cited in U.S. Supreme Court opinions). His scholarship also has been cited by more than 3,000 academic articles.

In this episode, Franita Tolson, Professor of Law and Vice-Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, discusses her article "The Spectrum of Congressional Authority Over Elections," which is published in the Boston University Law Review. Tolson begins by explaining how overlapping constitutional authorization for Congressional regulation should affect the scope and strength of Congressional power. Specifically, she observes that the 14th Amendment and the Elections Clause both authorize Congressional regulation of elections, and argues that this overlapping authority should increase Congressional power to act. She criticizes the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder for failing to consider how the Elections Clause affects the constitutionality of Sections 4(b) and 5 of the Voting Rights Act. And she reflects on how her observations about multiple sources of constitutional authority might affect the analysis of the legitimacy of Congressional action in the election law context and elsewhere going forward.

Section 2 of the 14th Amendment is one of the U.S. Constitution's most important evolutions. While it has never been enforced, this particular section gets to the very heart of voting rights in the United States — and its history constitutes a compelling story all its own. On this episode, Franita Tolson, Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, joins to tell that story. She breaks down the importance of understanding these critical passages, and she sheds light on how they inform the biggest debates around ballot access issues as America barrels toward 2020.
Today on Briefly we’re discussing the increasingly important intersection of the #MeToo movement and corporate law. What do corporations do in response to sexual assault allegations? Do corporate actions downplay the victim's struggle, or do they play an important role in shaping society when politics doesn't work? We spoke to two scholars, Daniel Hemel, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, and Dorothy Lund, a professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Together, Hemel and Lund wrote a Coase-Sandor Working Paper titled “Sexual Harassment and Corporate Law.” The paper is available here: https://columbialawreview.org/content/sexual-harassment-and-corporate-law/ This episode was produced by David Sandefer.

In this episode, Orin Kerr, Frances R. and John J. Duggan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, discusses his article, "Implementing Carpenter," which is part of his forthcoming book The Digital Fourth Amendment. Kerr describes what happened in the paradigm-shifting Supreme Court case Carpenter v. United States (2018), and why it was such a departure from prior Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. He observes that there is considerable uncertainty about how Carpenter will apply in future cases, and discusses three potential approaches: subjective, mosaic, and source. He explains why the source approach is the only one that is workable, and reflects on where the Supreme Court's Fourth Amendment jurisprudence will go in the future. Kerr is on Twitter at @OrinKerr and blogs at The Volokh Conspiracy, among other places.Keywords: Fourth Amendment, CSLI, Cell-Site, Carpenter, Surveillance See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This interview was recorded on June 9th, 2016. Professor Myanna Dellinger interviews Professor of Law Gregory C. Keating of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law about the issues surrounding the Volkswagen Diesel emission scandal. Professor Keating joined the USC Law faculty in 1991. He teaches torts, legal ethics, and seminars in legal and political philosophy. He takes an interest in the remedies aspect of the VW “dieselgate” scandal. Professor Keating graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Amherst College, and earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the department of Politics at Princeton University, where he specialized in legal and political philosophy. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. After graduating from Harvard, he practiced law in Massachusetts for five years before joining the USC Law faculty. He has also been a visiting professor at Harvard Law School. Update: After completing the two interviews on the VW “dieselgate” scandal, VW announced plans to launch 30 all-electric models to reposition itself as a leader in "green" transport. Matthias Mueller, chief executive of VW, said huge investments would be needed as the firm moves beyond the "dieselgate" scandal. Mr. Mueller hopes that by 2025, all-electric cars would account for about 20-25% of the German carmaker's annual sales. This episode was recorded on the campus of Occidental College in Los Angeles.
This episode is presented by The United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corp. When someone is jailed for a crime, the punishment often extends beyond the sentence because formerly incarcerated people face structural barriers in their transition to freedom. In particular, limited employment prospects too often lead to a cycle of crime that's difficult to escape. The City of Los Angeles, under the leadership of Mayor Eric Garcetti, established the Office of Reentry in response to this problem. Through programming, policy development, and outreach the office seeks to not only help the formerly incarcerated rejoin the public, but also to alter conditions that lead to jailing in the first place. Kimberley Baker Guillemet, a 2005 graduate of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, helped Mayor Garcetti open the office in the fall of 2015. In this episode, she talks about how her background as a lawyer prepared her to tackle this job and how the intersection of law and policy can make a difference in millions of people's lives. This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee, executive director of Law School Transparency. It is sponsored by Barbri and Top-Law-Schools.com.
