Season 3

Episode 6

Law School By Laptop

Today our conversation is with Erwin Chemerinsky, a preeminent constitutional law scholar, Supreme Court litigator, and Dean of Berkeley Law. We talk to Erwin about several topics, from Berkeley Law’s response to the pandemic, to how he picks which cases he takes on pro bono, many of which he argues at the Supreme Court or Circuit Court level. We also discuss legal fallout from the pandemic, from changed workplaces to a back and forth between the federal government and state governments with respect to shutting down businesses in the interests of public health.
