Deep dives
The importance of showcasing libertarian ideas in law reviews
A viewer preparing for law school is concerned about the one-sided bias in law reviews and wonders if they should hide their libertarian views to have a chance of being accepted. Nick and Matt advise being true to their beliefs while striving for excellence. They also suggest creating institutions and forums for non-liberal perspectives, as the Federalist Society has done. Additionally, Nick suggests avoiding labels and making a compelling case for individual ideas without explicitly identifying as libertarian.
