In 1962, Professor Fred Rodell of Yale Law School, the "bad boy of American legal academia," asked his students to write scripts describing important Supreme Court cases for the "Second Series" of his "Supreme Court Cases" recordings. The scripts were directed by S.P. Puner, performed by John Randolph, Jack Curtis, and Martin Wolfson, and released on LP by Educational Audio Visual, Inc. in January 1963.

According to the record sleeve:

The arguments of the lawyers in each of these cases are paraphrased from the language used in the original briefs of the contending parties. However, in all cases when the Court speaks, we have quoted the exact language of the judge delivering the opinion, taken from the official report of the case. The opinion, of course, has been condensed and necessary connective words or phrases have been added. The script for each cases was prepared by Yale Law School students in Professor Fred Rodell's Course in Law and Public Opinion.

The script for Abrams v. U.S. (1919) was written by Fred Louis, who later became a corporate lawyer in Chicago.

In this episode, Mehrsa Baradaran, Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives & Robert Cotten Alston Associate Chair in Corporate Law at the University of Georgia School of Law, discusses her book, "The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap," which was published by Harvard University Press.

She explains how discrimination and lack of access to capital have hamstrung African-American banks time and time again, focusing on particular examples of how white economic power undermined the viability of black institutions. And she reflect on the co-optation of black nationalism by the concept of black capitalism. She closes by arguing that structural inequality can be remedied only by redistribution.

In this episode, Christopher Jon Sprigman, Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, discusses his new article "The Second Digital Disruption: Data, Algorithms & Authorship in the 21st Century," which he co-authored with Kal Raustiala. Sprigman describes his consequentialist approach to copyright law and policy, and uses it to focus on recent developments in the production of works of authorship. Specifically, he explains how the pornography industry has collected and managed data about the preferences of its customers to provide them with the content they want to consume, and determine what kinds of content to produce. He reflects on how the pornography industry's use of data is migrating throughout the copyright sector. And he speculates on what this new "disruption" may mean for authorship and creativity in the future. Sprigman is on Twitter at @CJSprigman.
