Hamilton: The Man, the Musical, and the Law

Through a smash Broadway hit, Alexander Hamilton has reentered the American imagination. In this episode, Judge Ketanji Jackson, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, University of Kentucky College of Law Professor Joshua Douglas, and attorney Vanessa Nadal discuss what Hamilton, both the man and the musical, have to teach us about the Constitution and the law. The panel explores the ways that Hamilton's resurgence has encouraged people of all ages to engage with America's early history, the stories of the Framers, and the legendary life of Hamilton. Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderated this panel, produced in partnership with the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and presented live at the NCC.  Questions or comments about the podcast? Email us at [email protected].
