How should law professors teach about the foundations of constitutional law when it’s clear the current Supreme Court won’t respect precedent and approach the law as the institution once had?

Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky explores the impact on legal education — and the public’s perception of the legal system — of the court’s change in trajectory. His three guests, who are all teaching or have taught Constitutional Law, are Jeffrey Abramson, a professor of law and government at the University of Texas; Melissa Murray, a professor at NYU Law and a co-host of the podcast “Strict Scrutiny”; and journalist Dahlia Lithwick, who chronicles the court for Slate.

About:

More Just from Berkeley Law is a podcast about how law schools, students, and professors can make our legal system better and more equitable for all.

The rule of law — and the role of the law — has never been more important. In these difficult times, law schools can, and must, play an active role in finding solutions. But how? Each episode of More Just starts with a problem, then explores potential solutions, featuring Dean Erwin Chemerinsky as well as other deans, professors, students, and advocates, about how they’re making law schools matter.
