UnCommon Law

On UnCommon Law, legal issues, public policy, and storytelling collide. We'll explore the most important legal stories of the day: Is affirmative action in college admissions constitutional? Is it time to kill the bar exam? Should social media face special legal scrutiny? What are law firms doing to fix their lack of diversity? This podcast, hosted by Matthew S. Schwartz, was the winner of the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award for Media and the Arts.
