Season 2, Episode 50 (Show 102): Out-ranked – Live Podcast with Yale Law School’s FedSoc Chapter

December 7, 2022

In this special live broadcast from Yale Law School, our guests are YLS’ FedSoc members – on the day that Yale withdraws from the US News rankings of law schools.

Amarica’s Constitution is invited to Yale Law School by the YLS chapter of the Federalist Society for a live podcast, and Yale cooperates by choosing this day to withdraw from the US News rankings of Law Schools.  Naturally, we take that on, and it is the law students themselves that serve as our guests for a lively discussion.  Beyond this issue, however, we take a look inside this iconic Law School, and we see what it’s like for the FedSoc members – perhaps outside of YLS’ ideological mainstream, but as you will hear, an impressive and thoughtful lot.  Many of you will emerge from this listen with a sense that a valuable discourse can be had with them – and we can all agree that our nation needs more of that.  Or so one would think – but does Yale Law School concur? And Note – this week is the oral argument in the Moore v. Harper ISL case.  We are attending the argument in person, and will have an analysis next week!
