  • Episode 2: "Rabbit Queen"

    In this episode of Learned Hands, Clint and Merry turn their attention to Dany's Court in Meereen and ask: Does Justice Daenerys Targaryen use Due Process? Does she dispense justice? 

    Our analysis includes:

    • The application of Natural Rights and Rawlsian models of Justice
    • A friendly reminder to go to jury duty because WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY
    • Periodic background noises from the Hounds of Justice
    • A fun new accent for Hizdahr Zo Loraq

    Check out Adam Feldman's much acclaimed essays on Dany's arc in Meereen here at his blog the Meereenese Blot.

  • Episode 1: "The Long Night Court"

    A lawyerly discussion of the following question: Does the Night's Watch Oath give Lord Commander Jon Snow the Authority to Lead the Wildlings Through the Wall?

    Maester Merry of Up From Under Winterfell and Clint of Laws of Ice and Fire tackle this quandary by answering the following questions:
    -How is the Night's Watch Oath like a Constitution?
    -What do the applicable legal canons of construction say about how Jon Snow should interpret the Oath?
    -What does the Oath say about Jon Snow's war powers?

    ALL THIS AND MORE.
