A "wicked problem" is much more technical than its name suggests. In October 2019, Professor J.B. Ruhl of Vanderbilt Law School coordinated a Symposium for Vanderbilt Law Review titled "Governing Wicked Problems," a conference that featured presentations from scholars housed at institutions all across America. The presenters at the Symposium then turned their presentations into written pieces for the December 2020 edition of Vanderbilt Law Review. Professor Ruhl joins Brett in this episode to discuss what defines wicked problems, how he organized an entire Symposium about them, and how the scholarship in the December edition of Vanderbilt Law Review add to the conversation around wicked problems.

The entire December 2020 edition of Vanderbilt Law Review, including Professor Ruhl's introductory piece, is available here or at this link: https://vanderbiltlawreview.org/lawreview/category/volumes/vol-73/vol-73-6/
