Law & Society Talk

Brendan, Siva, and Max discuss the mechanics and legality of the Texas Two-Step, a controversial restructuring tactic recently used by Johnson & Johnson in an attempt to protect their consumer products brand from liabilities related to claims against their talc products.

CULSR's Law and Society Talk podcast returns after a nearly two-year hiatus! Podcast co-hosts Brendan Klein, Siva Paturi, and Max Fattal review 3 cases scheduled for argument before the Supreme Court.

Jonathan and Andrew are joined by Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government at Cornell University, to discuss the City of Ithaca's proposal to restructure its police department, and how the conservative-leaning Supreme Court has and will interact with the Biden Administration.

Jonathan and Andrew recap the first week of 2021 including a Trump-inspired attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Democrats' recapture of the Senate, and what all this means for American democracy. Later, the hosts discuss the Supreme Court's rebuke of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's COVID-19 restrictions.

It’s the season finale for Law & Society Talk and Matt could not be sadder to learn that Chief Justice Roberts hasn’t replied to his thank-you letters. Nevertheless, joined by incoming Editor in Chief Jonathan Harris, the editors take a final pass at the Trump finance cases, unanimous jury trials, and Michael Flynn’s painful realization that “it isn’t over ‘til it’s over.” You may even get some compelling advice on how NOT to invest. But before Vin and Matt sign off, will they be able to prove that bird law is not governed by reason in this country?

Matt and Vin are back with a fresh pair of dice to once again set wagers on the High Court’s most consequential rulings (even the ones that bore Matt to tears). With a less than riveting end to the latest Second Amendment battle to whether or not Justice Breyer thinks you are dumping toxic waste in the right place, the editors give a rundown of what’s shaping up for the law as we near the end of the Court’s term. But nothing is complete without a bit of President Trump legal drama, this week featuring former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn.

Law & Society Talk is back this week to consider whether Hank Johnson and Jerry Nadler will manage to foil Dick Cheney’s vacation plans. Matt and Vincenzo also dive into Round 3 of the GOP’s favorite professional wrestling match: the constitutionality of Obamacare. To round things off, the editors speculate on the outcome of the Supreme Court’s least controversial legal debate( yes, read that with sarcasm): the Second Amendment.

Law & Society Talk is back with a special recording covering President Trump’s most recent reality TV series: Who Wants to Be A Pardoned Crony? The Editors-in-Chief also discuss the ongoing drama over Roger Stone’s criminal trial and sentencing and assess whether the 115th Congress’s FIRST STEP Act has earned its name or should be rehashed as the “25% of Half A Step Act.”

Also joining us for our discussion is Cornell’s very own Professor Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government at Cornell University and Cornell Law School.
