Season 5, Episode 35 (Show 244): Blast Off!

September 17, 2025

Born Equal is published, and we mark the event – and Constitution Day – with a live event from Princeton University as Professor Amar proudly introduces some of the many themes from the book.

CLE Credit Available for this episode from podcast.njsba.com.

Happy Constitution Day! And Happy Born Equal Publishing Day! The book tour is underway, and we treat you to an event held live at Princeton University. Professor Amar speaks about the bridge from the last book to this one, and in doing so, the importance of the uniquely grand sweep of his project becomes apparent – as themes from The Words That Made Us merge crucially with the new revelations of Born Equal to shed light on some of the most important constitutional questions in American history. The audience gets involved, too, with questions that might well be your questions. And this is just the beginning, as some amazing events have already taken place that will fill our podcasts with debate and insight in the weeks and months to come.

Show Notes:

How to get Continuing Legal Education Credit for listening!

Virtually all lawyers and judges admitted to practice anywhere in the USA can obtain CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credit after listening to this episode by visiting podcast.njsba.com. You do not have to be a New Jersey lawyer or resident or admitted to the NJ Bar; essentially every state has reciprocity arrangements with New Jersey. When you visit the site you fill out a form and provide the code Andy read during the episode, pay a small fee, and within two weeks you will receive the certificate from New Jersey. It couldn’t be easier. Thanks to the New Jersey Bar Association for making this possible! Note, too, that other podcast episodes from our “back catalog” now qualify for this credit as well.
