January 13, 2019 From the Archives 37: Supreme Court Cases, Farmers' Loan and Trust Company v. Pollock (1961)
In 1960, Professor Fred Rodell of Yale Law School, "bad boy of American legal academia," asked his students to write scripts describing important Supreme Court cases. The scripts were directed by David Allen, performed by David Allen, Paul Sparer, and Jack Curtis, and released on LP by Educational Audio Visual, Inc. 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 Farmers' Loan and Trust Company v. Pollock (1895) was written by Bruce Hart, who became an author and composer, and is best-known as a lyricist for Sesame Street.

January 12, 2019 Anthony Kreis on the History of the Law of Sexuality & Gender
In this episode, Anthony Michael Kreis, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the Chicago-Kent College of Law discusses his new article, "Anxious Masculinity: American Homophobia and the Third Sex." Kreis describes the "confusion" at the heart of the law of sexuality, and ties it to the history of the concept of gender. He describes the evolution of the policing of gender norms through American history, and the emergence of the concept of the "third sex" to describe LGBTQ identities. He explains how this concept shaped the modern law of sexuality, and how that law can and should be reformed to reflect its history. Kreis's scholarship is available on SSRN. He is on Twitter at @AnthonyMKreis.

January 11, 2019David Ziff on Learning to Love the Bluebook
In this episode, David J.S. Ziff, Director of the Legal Writing Program and Senior Law Lecturer at the University of Washington School of Law, discusses his article "Book Review of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation—The Worst System of Citation Except for All the Others," which was published in the Journal of Legal Education. Ziff provides a brief history of the Bluebook, the ubiquitous guide to legal citation that everyone loves to hate, and explains why efforts to replace it have all failed. Among other things, he observes that the complexity of the Bluebook may be its greatest strength, and reflects on how it can and should change in the future. Ziff is on Twitter at @djsziff. He provided the following citation to helpful sources!

January 11, 2019 John Culhane on Reconciling Freedom of Expression & Anti-Discrimination
In this episode, John Culhane, Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Family Health Law & Policy Institute at Widener University Delaware Law School, discusses his article "The Right to Say, But Not to Do: Balancing First Amendment Freedom of Expression with the Anti-Discrimination Imperative," which was published in the Widener Law Review. Culhane reflects on the inherent tension between the values of freedom of expression and anti-discrimination, which the Supreme Court recently tried and failed to reconcile in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights
Commission. He observes that existing proposals to balance those competing values are impractical and unworkable, and suggests that the answer may be more speech, not less. Culhane is on Twitter at @johnculhane.

January 11, 2019 Amanda Levendowski on Copyright & AI's Implicit Bias Problem
In this episode, Amanda Levendowski, a Clinical Teaching Fellow with the Technology Law & Policy Clinic at NYU Law, discusses her article "How Copyright Law Can Fix Artificial Intelligence's Implicit Bias Problem," which was published in the Washington Law Review. Levendowski explains that "artificial intelligence" algorithms use "machine learning" to create heuristics for solving problems, but need large data sets in order to work. Unfortunately, many widely available and heavily used datasets have pernicious biases built into them. Copyright can discourage companies from using alternative data sets that would reduce those biases. But Levendowski argues that some copyright doctrine, especially fair use, might reduce the "friction" created by copyright and help companies create better AI. You can read more about Levendowski's work in these articles. Levendowski is on Twitter at @levendowski.

January 10, 2019 Zvi Rosen on the History of Copyright Registration
In this episode, Zvi S. Rosen, Visiting Scholar and Professorial Lecturer in Law at George Washington University School of Law, discusses his article "An Empirical Study of 225 Years of Copyright Registrations," which he co-authored with Richard Schwinn, Research Economist at the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy. Rosen and Schwinn's article "presents the first complete record of US copyright registrations from 1790 through 2015, using all available records of registrations and renewals to paint a picture of copyright law and its intersection with creativity and the economy." Rosen describes how the process of copyright registration and the nature of works registered has changed over time. And he explains how the data he and Schwinn collected and analysed sheds new light on the history of the creation of works of authorship in the United States. Rosen is on Twitter at @zvisrosen. His scholarship is available on SSRN. And he blogs at "Mostly IP History."

January 10, 2019 Jill Wieber Lens on Tort Law's Devaluation of Stillbirth
In this episode, Jill Wieber Lens, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville, discusses her article "Tort Law's Devaluation of Stillbirth." Lens describes the death of her son Caleb in stillbirth and the pain caused by her loss. She explains that stillbirth is far more common than people realize, and that many stillbirths are preventable and tortious. However, the tort law of many states devalues and fails to adequately compensate people whose children die in stillbirth for their loss. Lens also explains why recognizing stillbirth as the death of a child does not present a threat to abortion rights. Lens is on Twitter at @jillwieberlens.
Keywords: stillbirth, wrongful death, tort law, negligence, feminist legal theory, pregnancy loss, abortion, gender
