Above the Law - Thinking Like a Lawyer : The First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
from Above the Law - Thinking Like a Lawyer · host Legal Talk Network
When Yale suspended one of its high profile professors for two years citing a pattern of sexual harassment, one wondered if the penalty went far enough considering former students believed Rubenfeld's wife Amy Chua bore some responsibility for the events and remained on the faculty. Fast forward and now Chua is publicly battling with the administration after students told the school that Chua was breaching the alleged terms of the agreement she reached with them over Rubenfeld's suspension. We also talk about the Supreme Court's full embrace of theocracy in a shadow docket assault on decades of religious freedom jurisprudence and we talk about Jones Day's continuing Supreme Court clerkship hiring dominance.
