The Podvocate

Lex Americana: “With Liberty and Justice For All” – An American Civil Code


Listen Later

In this week's episode, associate editor Adam Reed dives into the issues of the common law system. He discusses the main issues facing the average citizen when facing the common law legal system: complexity, accessibility, affordability, variability, and arbitrarity. He discusses the cases he recalls, especially from law school and how absurd they could be, while also discussing how to solve them. He proposes, at least in the hypothetical, an examination of the corpus juris civilis, as well as the Napoleonic code in order to see how these problems might be solved.
