In this episode, Louis Rosen, Reference Librarian and Associate Professor of Law Library at Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law, discusses his article "The Lawyer as Superhero: How Marvel Comics' Daredevil Depicts the American Court System and Legal Practice," which was published in the Capital University Law Review. Rosen begins by describing the history and symbolism of Marvel's Daredevil character, a blind masked vigilante, whose alter ego is the lawyer Matt Murdock. He explains how different writers and artists have addressed the vigilante/lawyer dialectic, especially the recent writer Charles Soule, who is himself an attorney. And he reflects on how the Daredevil storyline educated popular audiences about the law and could usefully illustrate law classes. Rosen is on Twitter at @LawLibrarianLou.
