Out in the World

Born Equal is being read - by academics, pundits, historians, and citizens.  Reaction has begun to pour in, and discussion has begun.  In this episode, we bring you some of the very best flavor of such discussion - an academic symposium held at Penn Carey Law School on the book.  Professors Kate Shaw and Kermit Roosevelt each read the work with great care and deliver extensive remarks on the book, pointing out themes and insights - and raising questions.  Oh, so many questions.  Professor Amar then responds in the moment, and students in the audience pose their own queries.  The constitutional conversation continues, and is never complete.  But this one in particular will go on, as there were so many important questions raised that they could never be answered in this short interval.  But you will thrill to deep engagement and fascinating perspectives from this all-star panel of great thinkers.  Meanwhile, we also have a bonus for you: the great historian Gordon Wood has weighed in having read the book, and his extended remarks can be found at akhilamar.com/podcast.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
