Common Law

Great guests, excellent interviews, and great production. Easily accessible to non-lawyers, aspiring lawyers or practicing lawyers. Can’t recommend highly enough.

You all use a lot of examples that don’t even fit the narrative you’re trying to create and push (Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, etc.). Liberal law professors, and especially Deans, are quite out of touch with the actual sentiment on the ground, as we’ve seen time and time again in public polling, particularly around policing.

The US constitution doesn’t use the word equity.

UVA’s Common Law podcast is an excellent listen regardless of one’s previous exposure or knowledge of the law. The hosts and producers have put together a thought-provoking series that presents legal concepts and stories that are very pertinent to our lives. Their two current seasons (one looking forward and the other looking back) brings in experts that detail complex legal issues in an accessible manner. The hosts are beyond knowledgeable but are never lecturing. Instead, they present the podcasts with an infectious interest and curiosity. I’ve learned a great deal across many areas and eras of law from this podcast, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with an appetite to learn new things.
