April 03, 2019 From the Archives 77: Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage (1967)
Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian philosopher and media theorist. After graduating from the University of Manitoba and Cambridge, he taught at several different schools, before landing at the University of Toronto. He became internationally known when he published his book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964), and coined the catchphrase, "The Medium is the Message." According to McLuhan, we should study media itself, rather than the content of media. His subsequent book The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects (1967) was a play on that catchphrase, and explored the effects of media on human experience.
Later in 1967, he recorded an LP version of The Medium is the Massage, which was published by Columbia Records. The script was written by McLuhan, Quentin Fiore, and Jerome Agel, and was produced by John Simon. It features McLuhan speaking, and being "interrupted" by other speakers and sounds.

April 02, 2019 Sarah Burstein on the Ontology of the Patented Design
In this episode, Sarah Burstein, Professor of Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, discusses her article, "The Patented Design," which was published in the Tennessee Law Review. Burstein begins by explaining what "design" is and how it relates to design patents. She describes the elements of a design patent, how they work, and the competing arguments about what they should cover. She surveys the history of design patent doctrine, looking for clues about how courts and the patent office have construed the subject matter and scope of design patents. And she argues that the patented design should be understood as a design as applied to a particular product category. She closes by explaining why this matters to the Curver Luxembourg v. Home Expressions case, in which the Federal Circuit will soon hear oral argument. Burstein is on Twitter at @design_law and blogs about design law on Tumblr at Design Law.

March 27, 2019 Ilan Wurman on Originalism
In this episode, Ilan Wurman, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, discusses his book "A Debt Against the Living: An Introduction to Originalism," which is published by Cambridge University Press. Wurman begins by describing the premises of originalism, the constitutional theory holding that the Constitution should be understood in relation to its original public meaning. He explains how originalism works and how it differs from other theories of constitutional interpretation. He reflects on how the debate between Jefferson and Madison illuminates two competing theories of constitutional legitimacy. And he argues that originalism is consistent with the antisegregation principle of Brown v. Board of Education. Wurman is on Twitter at @ilan_wurman and his scholarship is available on SSRN.

March 26, 2019 Molly Brady on Property and Projection
In this episode, Maureen E. Brady, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law, discusses her article "Property and Projection," which will be published in the Harvard Law Review. Brady notes the increasingly popular practice of projecting unflattering images and information onto physical property, and observes that property owners have had little success with claims against the offenders, because courts have found no physical trespass and only "trivial" economic harm. She argues that property doctrine can and should recognize harms caused by light projections, and explains why property law should be more sensitive to "appropriation" harms. She also discusses potential tensions with the First Amendment, and how we should think about the justification of property law more broadly. Brady is on Twitter at @mollyxbrady.

March 22, 2019 Rachel Moran on Police Privacy
In this episode, Rachel Moran, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, discusses her article "Police Privacy," which will be published in the UC Irvine Law Review. Moran observes that in many states, including California and New York, records of police misconduct are not subject to records requests, or access is very limited. Access to these records is essential to identifying problem officers and bringing civil rights actions, but police unions have successfully argues that access would violate the privacy rights of police officers. Moran asks whether and when records requests implicate legitimate privacy interests, and concludes that most records should be released. Moran is on Twitter at @rachelmoran82.

March 22, 2019 From the Archives 75: Adlai Stevenson, The Stevenson Wit (1965)
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (1900-1965) was an American lawyer, politician, and diplomat. Stevenson graduated from Northwestern University School of Law in 1926, practiced law at Cutting, Moore & Sidley in Chicago, and then got into politics during the Roosevelt administration.

In 1960, Stevenson lost the Democratic nomination to Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. After the election, President Kennedy appointed Stevenson the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, a position in which he served until his death from heart failure in 1965.

March 22, 2019 James Stern on the Myth of Nonrivalry
In this episode, James Y. Stern, Associate Professor of Law at William & Mary Law School, discusses his article "Intellectual Property & the Myth of Nonrivalry." Stern begins by describing the conventional economic theory of property and public goods, and how it structures the prevailing view of intellectual property among legal scholars in the United States. Specifically most scholars assume that property conventionally allocates scarce or rival resources, but because information is non-rival, allocation is unnecessary, and the only legitimate goal is providing an incentive for production. He argues that information actually is rival, because different people have different preferences for how it is used. Accordingly, public goods economics cannot provide an empirical justification for intellectual property, which is fundamentally an expression of normative values. Stern is on Twitter at @JamesYStern. His scholarship is available on SSRN.
