    #31: The Stetson Law Campus and the History of the Hotel Rolyat

    What do Babe Ruth, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and a cat named Porkchop all have in common? They’ve all been distinguished guests on Stetson Law’s storied hundred-year-old campus. In this episode we sit down with Brooke M. Smith, a Circulation Librarian and Archivist, and Reference Librarian Sally Ginsberg Waters to discuss the history of that campus, dating back to its original construction as the Hotel Rolyat, an attraction for celebrities during the Roaring Twenties.

    #30: Employment Law and Discrimination

    More and more job applications are processed by machine learning before a real person ever reads them. But can these algorithms exhibit prejudice? And, if so, what would it mean to adopt algorithmic affirmative action? In this episode, we sit down with Stetson Professor Jason Bent to discuss the changing landscape of employment and employment discrimination law in the twenty-first century. We discuss the impact of AI, growing concerns about data privacy in employment contexts, and the role new Supreme Court decisions have played in the interpretation of Title VII.

    #29: Major Cases from the Supreme Court This Summer

    Are presidents immune from criminal prosecution for actions they take in office? That was just one question – and perhaps not even the most wide-ranging one – under consideration in the decisions released at the end of the Supreme Court’s latest term this summer. In this new episode, we sit down with Stetson Law Professor Louis Virelli to discuss how the court’s recent slate of decisions is reshaping the balance of powers. From gun rights to presidential immunity to fundamental workings of administrative law, the cases from this latest term are rewriting the textbooks.

    #28: Part-Time Students at Stetson

    How do part-time law students juggle a family, a job, and law school all at once? In this episode, we sit down with two strong advocates for Stetson Law’s part-time program, Dominique Alford-Raymond and Grace Moseley. Together we discuss the diversity, the resilience, and the uniquely strong community among members of Stetson’s part-time program.

    #27: American Indian Law and the Supreme Court

    In an era of sharp and often predictably partisan disagreements within the Supreme Court, it might surprise some that Neil Gorsuch, one of the court’s 6 conservative justices, has emerged as one of the fiercest proponents of tribal sovereignty to ever serve on the bench. That fact doesn’t surprise Stetson Law Professor Grant Christensen, however. Christensen is a specialist in Federal Indian Law, the unique mixture of federal regulations and tribal sovereignty that governs the lands set aside for Native American communities within the states. In this episode, we discuss the unexpected Supreme Court majorities that can emerge in Indian Law cases that test questions about federalism, recent decisions about the Indian Child Welfare Act and tribal lands in Oklahoma, and how indigenous legal traditions can propose models for reforming corporate governance.

    #26: Climate Change, Environmental Law, and Public Access to Justice

    Florida isn’t just on the front line for climate change in America – it’s also a testing ground for new legal questions about how to deal with its consequences. In the latest episode of Real Cases, we speak with Assistant Professor Jaclyn Lopez, Director of the Jacobs Public Interest Law Clinic for Democracy and the Environment. We discuss public access to environmental justice, new legal problems raised by increased flooding, and the role the Jacobs Law Clinic is playing in fighting to extend federal Endangered Species Act protection to the ghost orchid, a rare and famous flower unique to the region.

    #25: History, the Law, and Constitutional Consciousness

    How did free African Americans before the Civil War regard the Constitution, freedom, and citizenship in a republic that excluded them from political participation? In the latest episode of Real Cases, we sit down with Stetson Professor James Fox to discuss the fuzzy boundaries between history and legal scholarship, different varieties of originalism on today’s Supreme Court, and how greater racial diversity in the academy advances new ways of understanding the past.
